<DIV>I just read through the principles outlined in this document and am
extremely concerned at some of the implications of extending normal warfare
“principles” to cyber infrastructure, attempts to define territoriality in this
space, and some of the concepts that applied in guns and warships style
conflicts being extended into cyberspace – like combatants wearing uniforms to
distinguish themselves from civilians. And many other arguments based on 1940s
international law that really should not apply.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This, unfortunately, is a document from “credible” sources and is likely to
have impact on NATO thinking. Therefore it is extremely concerning. I am
interested in the reactions of people on this list who are more knowledgeable in
this area.</DIV>
