In a recent article in the National Journal Magazine, the NSA supposedly admits to using computer attacks in Iraq, attacking cellular systems. Aside to the hacking part, which is obviously "cool", the impact on the US cyber defense stance as well as international relations is staggering.
I spent some time trying to figure out what facts were given in the story, and analyze it.
