U.S. accelerating cyberweapon research

http://j.mp/FRbcEm  (Washington Post)

   "The Pentagon is accelerating efforts to develop a new generation of
    cyberweapons capable of disrupting enemy military networks even when
    those networks are not connected to the Internet, according to current
    and former U.S. officials."

I continue to characterize these efforts as primarily a money pit,
both for reasons that should be obvious, and for several reasons that
are perhaps rather more opaque.
