"U.S.: Cyber Strike Could Earn Military Response"
     NewsFactor Network (02/14/02); McDonald, Tim

     Terrorists or foreign governments that launch an attack on the Internet
infrastructure of the
     United States could face an armed response, according to White House
cyber security advisor
     Richard Clarke, who warned that many essential infrastructure systems
have probably been
     compromised already. Clarke did not go into detail about what specific
kind of cyber attack
     would elicit military action. "That's the kind of ambiguity that we
like to keep intentionally to
     create some deterrence," he explained.
