US military review backs pre-emptive cyberstrikesAFP WASHINGTON--U.S. military officers have endorsed the principle of pre-emptive cyberstrikes if the United States ever faces an imminent and large-scale digital attack, officials said Monday.
February 6, 2013, 12:03 am TWN No formal approval has been issued, but the conclusions of the review signal that President Barack Obama's administration is ready to embrace pre-emptive cyber attacks as part of military doctrine, officials told AFP. Under the proposed rules, a pre-emptive digital strike would usually require the approval of the president, they added.
