Flutterby™! : Has U.S. started an Internet war?

Bruce Schneier in CNN: Has U.S. started an Internet war?

That's the key question: How much of what the United States is currently doing is an act of war by international definitions? Already we're accusing China of penetrating our systems in order to map "military capabilities that could be exploited during a crisis." What PPD-20 and Snowden describe is much worse, and certainly China, and other countries, are doing the same.

Yes. When our elected officials, and government employees, keep us in the dark, there's now way for us as citizens to say "no, this is not how we want to be seen by the world". What we're seeing here is very clearly the military-industrial state picking fights in order to maintain the war profiteering that comes from endless conflict.
