Thanks Ian for precious links. It seems that time is coming for legal
definitions of cyberwarfare, in which we are living already. Initiatives
belong to the powers that be, the only ones with the capacity to follow or
violate the rules. CS doesn't have much influence, except through
occasional media power.

Some more frightening documents on real war:

One may observe that oppressive regimes resort to coded sanitized language
to mean illegal and criminal activities. This was anticipated by Orwell
(newspeak), and turned real with soviet labor camp (concentration), nazism
special treatment (gas chamber), maoism reeducation (deportation), bushism
and obamism extraordinary rendition (torture), inter alia.
