Bloggers beware.

 

As the world turns networked, the Pentagon is calculating the military

opportunities that computer networks, wireless technologies and the

modern media offer.

 

From influencing public opinion through new media to designing

" computer network attack " weapons, the US military is learning to fight

an electronic war.

 

The declassified document is called " Information Operations Roadmap " . It

was obtained by the National Security Archive at George Washington

University using the Freedom of Information Act.

 

Officials in the Pentagon wrote it in 2003. The Secretary of Defense,

Donald Rumsfeld, signed it.

 

The " roadmap " calls for a far-reaching overhaul of the military's

ability to conduct information operations and electronic warfare. And,

in some detail, it makes recommendations for how the US armed forces

should think about this new, virtual warfare.
