El negro blanquea la guerra digital

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Pentagon plans to create a new military command for cyberspace, stepping up preparations by the armed forces to conduct both offensive and defensive computer warfare, the New York Times said on Friday.

Citing Obama administration sources, the Times said the president will detail on Friday the creation of a White House office that will coordinate a multi-billion-dollar effort to restrict access to government computers, protect systems that run U.S. stock exchanges, clear global banking transactions and manage the air traffic control system.

i.e. la guerra deja la modalidad "contratista" de la era Bush (ver algo acá), admite la topología expandida del network (abandonando el esquema de los enemigos localizados geopolíticamente) y corporiza la figura de un "cyber-czar", soberano que rige sobre las 5 agencias de inteligencia y comanda todas las operaciones militares de defensa y ataque en terrenos virtuales.
