Here's a new war: "cyberwar".

#  "Head of CIA Plans Center To Protect Federal Computers"
#  By Tim Weiner, The New York Times, 6/26/96
#  
#  John Deutch, Director of the CIA, is building a "cyberwar" center in the NSA.
#  
#  Mr. Deutch said cyberwar could become a 21st-century national security threat
#  second only to nuclear, biological and chemical weapons.
#  
#  "The electron," Mr. Deutch warned, "is the ultimate precision-guided weapon."

Haven't I heard bad dialogue like this on Mystery Science Theater 3000?

It is simply another in an endless series of requests for funding, for misuse
of our tax money.

*   "FBI Scare Tactics", By Richard Moran, The New York Times, 1996
*   
*   When the FBI reported that serious crime declined for the fourth year
*   in a row, it was still making the statistics sound worse than they
*   actually were.
*   
*   That's because Government tends to exaggerate the violent nature of crime.
*   
*   According to the Justice Department's Bureau of Justice Statistics, less
*   than a third of the 6.6 million violent crimes committed in the U.S in 1992
*   resulted in injury; most of the victims suffered only minor cuts, scratches
*   or bruises.
*   
*   About 20 percent of them needed minor medical care; 7 percent went to
*   emergency rooms. Only 1 percent of the victims were hurt seriously enough
*   to require hospitalization.
*   
*   The incongruity arises because of the way the law defines violent crime.
