Barack Obama has ordered his senior national security and intelligence officials to draw up a list of potential overseas targets for US cyber-attacks, a top secret presidential directive obtained by the Guardian reveals.
The 18-page Presidential Policy Directive 20, issued in October last year but never published, states that what it calls Offensive Cyber Effects Operations (OCEO) "can offer unique and unconventional capabilities to advance US national objectives around the world with little or no warning to the adversary or target and with potential effects ranging from subtle to severely damaging".

The Guardian is on fire
Who is leaking Top Secret/NOFORN memos???
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/interactive/2013/jun/07/obama-cyber-directive-full-text
Is it the CIA?
You know, everyone knew one of these kids when they were young.
This guy is a bleeder, not a leader.
“Barack Obama has ordered his senior national security and intelligence officials “...
There are neither security or intelligent people in his admin to turn to...
I’m okay with publishing the “Top Secret” information that Obama is violating the 4th Amendment, but not with publishing anything on target lists. Even admitting that we have such a list can harm our security. Guardian should have skipped this one.
I’m wondering that, too. And WHY The Guardian?
Maybe it can’t be US papers because of Holder and his prosecuting under the Espionage Act???
Harder to get the info????????
I am kind of blown away at the hits that keep coming.
I keep thinking it is the CIA retribution for Obambi and Benghazi.
He reminds more of the sissy who always followed a bully to laugh and cheer as someone else got pounded. No one could hit our Dear Leader at any age without being embarrassed - that’s like hitting a kindergartener when you are in high school.
I would argue Obama leaked it. He is panicked and trying his best, pulling out the stops, to appear strong and actually doing something.
He will probably wag the dog if he actually knows how
But the Guardian is rabidly leftist and not know to like the US very much.
I hear ya...
“Known”
BINGO!!!!
CIA is seeking revenge for Benghazi and some patriots are actually trying to defend & save our Constitution.
Just keep the hits coming, CIA!!!!!
Someone is PO’ED in the intel community or its a setup to forment discord amongst the populace. Can’t decide which it is...
I look for the wagging the dog soon now. Possibly even with a false flag within CONUS. It will be used to justify the database and snooping within CONUS.
“I’m wondering that, too. And WHY The Guardian?”
Because they cant trust the American media to publish this info especially if it makes Obama look bad.
Targeting veterans of allies and overseas Christian groups?
Targeting veterans of allies and overseas Christian groups?
It certainly seems that Obama has ticked off someone who knows the dirty secrets-maybe not just one agency either.
My only question is what took so long? I am sure that what we know so far is just the tip of the iceberg.
