Spooky Stuff

Check out the last few paragraphs of this article.
US forces should be able to "disrupt or destroy the full spectrum of globally emerging communications systems, sensors, and weapons systems dependent on the electromagnetic spectrum".

If you're too lazy to read the article, this is from a document obtained in the US via the Rreedom of Info Act. A document regarding US obejective in electronic warfare.
So we have a Superpower looking to have the ability to shut down all "globaly emerging communications systems". Sorry, but I'm not that comfortable thinking that a government wants the ability to shut down anything that may be considered a threat to their security. From the nation that brought the world the Monroe doctrine, Iran-contra, the Taliban, Pinnochet, Noriega all in the past 40 years; how much faith should we have they won't abuse this new tatic?

Anyway, just wanted to spread a touch of fear throughout the blogging world. sorry about that...but this is kinda crappy... a little Orwellian if you ask me.
