Richard Clarke: Straight talking on terror

I found this to be a fairly interesting and funny article. Here’s the best part:

Q: Are governments looking at using cyberwarfare on other countries?

A: Oh yes. One thing I know that the United States did before the war was to use the Internet to communicate directly with Iraqi soldiers and to send personalized messages saying, ‘We’re about to invade. We’re going to overwhelm you and if you resist us we’re going to kill you. But we don’t want to do that. So really the best thing for you to do when we invade is to go home’. Each senior officer of the Iraqi army got that message and most of them went home.

Now that’s funny! How would you like to get an email telling you that you’re about to be invaded? How far have we come that we can do this?! Email our enemies?!?! ha haaaaaa!!!!!
