Just want to point out something I think that many are missing about this particular story. It isn't really very representative of expansion of electronic surveillance because, from the article (my bold):

transmitted from tiny circuit boards and USB cards inserted surreptitiously into the computers.

In that, it is no different from spycraft practiced for thousands of years, whether it was a person hidden inside a closet or a hidden microphone that someone had to plant.

Richard Clarke objects to offensive use of electronic attacks and thinks we should only focus on defending our networks. There have been hacks in the US by China and Syria. Is it possible that knowing that the US has the capability to strike targets in a China and Syria serve as a deterrent for a large scale attack in the US by a foreign entity?
