This may be true. I gave a talk based on my experiences on cyberdefense exercises and it is quite difficult to speak meaningfully in the open public. With the paper at hand I think there is a terminology problem. The same word means different things to different people and it is my understanding that Libicki uses more narrow (strict) definitions for cyberwar than most would expect. However in the case of this paper, I too am guilty of reading it diagonally and although I like reading him and generally agree with his views, his last paragraph does not connect well with my mindset. (Should not one invite Libicki in the discussion? It would help the discussion and could lead to a better understanding of what he wrote and what we understood). -- http://gr.linkedin.com/in/yiorgos _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list [email protected] https://lists.immunityinc.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
