So does this mean we can do any more than we already do or we can just now be more open about it?! You can’t tell me that we aren’t already doing this kind of stuff. Really, what do you call most of what the CIA and NSA do now?

“Congress affirms that the Department of Defense has the capability, and upon direction by the President may conduct offensive operations in cyberspace;” and “in certain instances, the most effective way to deal with threats and protect US and coalition forces is to undertake offensive military cyber activities, including where the role of the United States Government is not apparent or to be acknowledged.”
