The Pentagon came up with the "Information Operations Roadmap"in 2003 already. Now it was obtained by the National Security Archive at George Washington University using the Freedom of Information Act.

Read the story over at BBC.

Quotes: "It seems to see the internet as being equivalent to an enemy weapons system.

'Strategy should be based on the premise that the Department [of Defense] will 'fight the net' as it would an enemy weapons system,' it reads.

The slogan 'fight the net' appears several times throughout the roadmap. (...) And, in a grand finale, the document recommends that the United States should seek the ability to 'provide maximum control of the entire electromagnetic spectrum'.

US forces should be able to 'disrupt or destroy the full spectrum of globally emerging communications systems, sensors, and weapons systems dependent on the electromagnetic spectrum'."

Never mind the "freedom of the press"...
