...What U.S. officials don't like to acknowledge is that the Pentagon is hard at work developing an offensive cyber capability of its own. In fact, it has even begun using that capability to wage war. Beyond merely shutting down enemy systems, the U.S. military is crafting a witch's brew of stealth, manipulation and falsehoods designed to lure the enemy into believing he is in charge of his forces when in fact they have been secretly enlisted as allies of the U.S. military. And some in Washington fear that there hasn't been sufficient debate over the proper role...
...Pentagon officials acknowledge privately that such work is under way, though nearly all of it is classified. The recent creation of U.S. Cyber Command shows that the U.S. military is taking this mission seriously. "You have to be very careful about what you say in this area," says a top cyberwarrior of the Pentagon.

...Such cyberbattles are already happening in miniature.

His doctors said the hypertension was an aberration caused by stress and tiredness, and released him the next morning with a clean bill of health. Still, Lula...
...Paulo governor who has yet to formally declare his candidacy. A December Datafolha poll gives her 23%, against Serra's 37%. Still, that's a 7-point gain over her numbers from last August, which suggests she is on the right track. Still, she clearly has her work cut out to make herself known to voters, especially in poorer and more remote parts of the country. "She doesn't do well at rallies," Castro Neves said. "She is trying to change that, but with Lula alongside her it's different. Lula is so popular he could elect a stick...
