A robber may very easily....far rather are you in theirs.

The construction of offensive cyber operations is not new—it is only a reproduction of the Western Frontier mentality—one centered on the xenophobic reaction of control and domination of a new land.  These practices are dictated only by the unknowability of the cyber realm and our inability to cope with the unknown.

The Bush regime’s response to 9/11...crimes are punished.

The logic of preemption dominates not only the global security environment and presidential war powers, but also the way in which we subjectively encounter the world—we encounter the world with hyper-securitized decision-making as a response to radical uncertainty.
