# NSA prepares the U.S. for battle online
# Tuesday, October 17, 2000
#
# The U.S. National Security Agency wants to do battle in cyberspace.
#
# "Information is now a place," Air Force Lt. Gen. Michael Hayden told
# a major computer security conference in Baltimore on Monday. "It is
# a place where we must ensure American security as surely as land, sea,
# air and space."
#
# And the NSA - the military agency responsible for intercepting
# communications worldwide - doesn't just care about defense.
#
# Ultimately the NSA must become the "security statement" of the U.S.
# telecommunications and computer industries, just as he views the Air
# Force as the "military statement" of the aviation industry, he said.
# "How else does our society develop the tools we need to do what it
# is that our agency has been charged to do?"
