Unfortunately, the cyber threat to 'the grid' is only one means of eviscerating the soft underbelly of American society.

The spring of 1942 was given over to a very impassioned, strategic debate about where we should first attack in counterpunching against the Germans and Italians.

North Korea is a problem, not only because of its fast advancing nuclear and missile program but also because of the sorry state of the country's economy and its abysmal human rights record. It is a problem for us outsiders, but it is an even greater problem for the North Korean people themselves. As people are fond of saying in such situations that "something has to be done."
