FALSE:Cyberterror Not a Credible Threat

Cyberterror Not a

Credible Threat.

WRONG:G

"...militaries have not yet occurred and because most non-state actors have not yet acquired the necessary capabilities. As an aside, this last point undermines the notion of cyber terrorism. The alternative to the conclusion that terrorist groups currently lack the capabilities to launch a cyber attack is that they have these capabilities but have chosen not to use them. This alternative is nonsensical.

According to the paradigm James A.Lewis is using
is equivalent to declaring a sneak attack by the Japanese
is not a credible threat on December 6, 1941.

If the terrorist in China or Afpak were to hook up
with the Russian RBN, Russian Business net, or
a group of Chinese hackers they would have a
instant credible threat.

While the Russian Gov. does have some pull
with the RBN, both are profit and criminal
motivated.

The possibility exists,
the development of that capability is
just a mater of time in any case.

ARTICLE: U.S.A.F. Launches Major Technology Review, By Amy Butler,Aviation Week & Space Technology, Oct 21, 2009

True enough description:

"I don't think in the history of the Air Force we've been at a turning point like this. Maybe the closest was the Sputnik launch," Dahm tells Aviation Week. "What does the Air Force do when it is faced with a radically different future? Part of what it does is reach into its science and technology domain."

Amazing to think the USAF, only a few years ago, was going to rule all through the high-end definitions of net-centric warfare. Problem is, the Gap does not present such opponents.

(Thanks: Mike Nelson)

Current Paradigm:
The opponents ARE there, conflicker, bazillion bots, RBN definitely has the capability.

The core does present these threats, and the Gap continues to exploit the core's

vulnerability with the core's own technology, Internet.

While the opponent is not there yet, they are seeking the technology.

We track the Hacker groups and there has been an definitive up tick in interest .

The terrorist have a history of importing core technologies to the GAP.

9 US Troopers killed, Afghan

Nuristan نورستان highlighted

Nato reported that the small American Combat Outpost in Dara-I-Pech district of Kunar Province, on the border with Nuristan Province in the east of the country, came under heavy fire at around 4.30am local time. Heavy fighting continued throughout the day with US forces calling in artillery, fast jets and Apache helicopters.

Nato spokesmen warned of casualties "on both sides", and in the last few minutes it has emerged that nine American soldiers were killed, making it one of the biggest single losses in a day for the coalition since military operations began in the country.

"Insurgents have been firing at the COP with small arms, machine guns, rocket-propelled grenades and mortars using homes, shops and the mosque in the village of Wanat for cover," said a Nato statement.

The following are excerpts from a speech from Damascus, Syria, by Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command Secretary-General Ahmad Jibril, which aired on Al-Jazeera TV on May 9, 2008.

"Arabs And Muslims Lived For 700 Years in Andalusia – Why Shouldn't We Claim [It's] Our Homeland?"

Ahmad Jibril: "Why did they bring the [Jews] here? Can you believe they talk about historical myths, from 3,000 years ago or more, in which God promised to give Abraham the land from the Nile to the Euphrates? Just imagine, the Master of the Universe, who is absolute justice, brings these people and says to them: 'You own this land and everything on it.' Then they say that in the days of Jacob, they were given Palestine, the Promised Land.

"One should know, however, that history and archeology have yet to prove that a Jewish state was ever established on the land of Palestine, or that such a state survived and gave rise to civilizations, and so on... It is said that gangs controlled Jerusalem, Hebron, and Nablus, and that later, they were uprooted, just like any other gang. They did not give rise to a civilization. The Arabs and Muslims lived for 700 years in Andalusia. Why shouldn't we claim that Andalusia is our homeland?"[...]

"This [Palestinian] People, Which Has Made All These Sacrifices... Isn't It A Shame That It Has Such A Leadership?"

"I ask you: This [Palestinian] people, which has made all these sacrifices... The [Palestinian] mother is unparalleled throughout history. She grabs her son and says to him: Off you go, on a martyrdom operation. When the second son comes, she says: Off you go, too, and then the third son, and the fourth. A [Palestinian] girl, in the prime of life, thinking of getting married, dons an explosive belt and plunges into the Israelis. This people, from the children to the elderly... I ask you, isn't it a shame that it has such a leadership? These people are crooks, robbers, and thieves.
