Obama Orders US to Draw Up Overseas Target List for Cyber-Attacks

6. Re: Domestic cyberattacks.

Your government of the people, by the people and for the people at work.

I hope we will be told in advance what we can and cannot say or do.

Oh, and I almost forgot. I hope "our" "representative" government will tell us what we can and cannot know.

I hope they will let us know whenever they decide to hide the embarrassing stuff from us.

This could mean total information control or it could mean just preventing foreign spies from gathering our real defense secrets. Very hard to say.

This is promising.

The official added: "As a citizen, you expect your government to plan for scenarios. We're very interested in having a discussion with our international partners about what the appropriate boundaries are."

I hope the appropriate boundaries will be set and respected by all countries even domestically. If this is to prevent foreign countries from spying on us, then that is good.

If this will make it easier for our government and other governments to spy on individual citizens, then it is bad.
