5PM RT TV Interview on Cyber war

This is Adriana Usero again, a producer for RT TV America. I was hoping to see if you were available to speak to us today in regards to cyber security. We would love to have you for our 5pm broadcast, but would also love to have you on later shows (7pm or 8pm) if it is more convenient for you. Below is a quick overview of the segment/package we are planning to air today in tandem with your interview.

* PKG: CYBERWAR 2: TAKING THE FIGHT HOME (Lucy Kafanov): We saw how cyberwar hype was used to sell defense contracts, but it hasnt stopped top US officials from ringing the alarm bell. Congress remains concerned about the cyberthreat and wants more legislation to protect the country. And the Pentagon now says cyberattacks could be met with a physical war response. Bombs for bits, so to speak. The fear is usually aimed at foreign hackers, but in this year of the protest a domestic face to this invisible enemy has emerged: Anonymous. Domestic hacktivists who use cyberattacks as a form of political protest. But at a time when US citizens have lost freedoms and rights in the name of the war on terror, could cyber-fears further blur the line between online protester and online terrorist? And what does this mean for American citizens whose rights and civil liberties are already being stripped away?

Hope to hear from you soon,

-Adriana S. Usero
