The Cyber Command, headed by Maj. Gen. William Lord, touted on its Web site its capabilities to “secure our nation by employing world-class cyberspace capabilities”

Considering the cyberwarfare capabilities of Russia and China, that is probably a good idea to have something like this.

The whole “cybercommand” thing was just another USAF attempt to monopolize an emerging technology, just as they tried to monopolize unmanned aircraft last year. Looks like SecDef Gates is putting his foot down about that kind of thing, though. Good on him.

Makes sense that the Air Force should head this up.

I mean a bunch of men and women sitting around in comfy chairs all day in an air conditioned room drinking coffee, it just screams Air Force to me. ;^)

Doesn’t inspire much confidence that these people know what the f*** they’re doing. Are these the same people we’re suppose to depend on to launch ICBMs, shoot down ICBMs? I suspect that I collection of socially inept high school kids could do a lot more than these clods can. Rediculous.
