In the hyper-competitive world we live in, offence would indeed be the way to go. We are dealing with foreign nations that are in no way subject to the same rules as we are, or to the scrutiny of organizations like the one Ms. Vonn represents; these things mean that the government here must be accountable.
Earlier I spoke about the possibility of a cyber-attack against one of our organizations. It's hard to say if we could easily tell if such an attack came from a particular country or its representatives. In any case, I think it is increasingly possible for us to determine specifically which computers and operations centres we could target, attack and remove from the international communications network.
