Flutterby™! : Obama condoning cyber-attacks?

Holy shit! On two fronts:

First, WTF is up with all of the disclosures this week? Was the Verizon Wireless NSA thing a tipping point, journalists like Greenwald (who's behind this one as well) have been saving this stuff up and decided that this is now the right time, or is this a Wikileaks or Anonymous (or both) push?

Second: The Guardian: Obama orders US to draw up overseas target list for cyber-attacks: Exclusive: Top-secret directive steps up offensive cyber capabilities to 'advance US objectives around the world'

Okay, third: If this is true, how is it that all of these assholes haven't yet figured out that behavior in the virtual world has a huge impact in the real one? Some of us have known that for 30 years now...

Bonus! John Kerry approved huge arms shipments to Egypt despite ongoing human rights violations by that government.
