Last summer, Charles Swett, a policy assistant in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict, produced a report that assessed the intelligence value of the Internet for the Defense Department. Internet users beware: Pentagon snoops are taking an interest in your cyber-communications. Internet could also be used offensively as an additional medium in psychological operations campaigns and to help achieve unconventional warfare objectives. The Internet can also serve counterintelligence purposes, by identifying threats to the Pentagon and U.S. intelligence activities.
