Cyberspace

http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/04/16/military.cyberspace/index.html

Obama is currently attempting to eliminate cyberspace within the military. It is believed that cyberspace is connected to attacks on computer networks. However, they're concerned this new position could "violate laws with prevent the military from operating in domestic issues". The National Security Agency plays a role in protecting the nations computer networks and oversees domestic electronic communications which is another concern of the Senate's; but they're attempting to "safeguard the integrity of our military system. Lt. General Alexander is hoping that if this passes, he'll be in charge. They're hoping to build technology to better help defend networks. Despite the legal and policy issues, this could be in effect. In relation to stasis the definition would be the eliminating cyberspace within the military. The quantity or to what degree is this important would be if this comes into effect, how would people within and outside the military feel about this? The audience would be both the attentive and inattentive audience. The quality or how we interpret this message is important regarding the impact this would have on those in the military. It puts a lot of limits on their lives and abilities to communicate. The point where people disagree would be judged based upon the outcome of the vote.
