Obfuscated Thoughtlessness Inversed

Last night I posted about how I received visits last month from the Canadian Military. Tonight, I have the dubious honour of posting about a visit to this blog from a US Military computer/human operator.

I was hoping they were reading about how to flee war and go to Canada. But after reading the log-file I realized they were simply reading about being Welcomed to Canada.

Meanwhile, the US Military announced by declassifying a document that they were engaged in electronic disruption against their enemies, apparently including blogs like this one.

To quote from a BBC report:

The operations described in the document include a surprising range of military activities: public affairs officers who brief journalists, psychological operations troops who try to manipulate the thoughts and beliefs of an enemy, computer network attack specialists who seek to destroy enemy networks.

The fact that the "Information Operations Roadmap" is approved by the Secretary of Defense suggests that these plans are taken very seriously indeed in the Pentagon.

Thanks to Blogging Change and Verbena 19 for the heads up.
