So what defines a Cyber Weapon is in some part of my mind, a certain
Mojo. It's like the difference between a speech, and rhetoric. With
the right rhetoric you can lift whole houses right off the ground.
And the right cyber weapon can change the world. <br>

To put it into context is Robert Graham:<br>

His claim (which is probably right) is that WikiLeaks is there to
provide cover for Wikileaks-related hackers (aka, Assange himself)
who had data they wanted to get out. But so what? It's genius and
everyone else is probably wishing they'd thought of it first, but
nobody at the time realized how powerful just dumping semi-organized
data on the world in a way that could not be shut up could be. It's
like we had Voice of America, but failed to translate that into the
Internet world before some random Australian, and now we're all
jealous and blindsided.<br>

A good cyberweapon has Mojo. It has a life of it's own. That's what
makes them so unstoppable.<br>
