Well, I looked at the recent emails in this group and asked myself what
can we call the 'Middle East Cyber Conflict'.  Cybergraffiti War or
more likely Information Operations as Fred points out.

Then, I suddenly realised that we might have to distinguish between
different
levels of IO like in nuclear strategy where one distinguishes between
tactical,
operational and strategic nuclear weapons which are used for different
'modes' of  warfare.

Maybe it is necessary to establish a classification of different levels of
IO
activities (not just strategic and tactical information operations) in order
to distinguish different levels of conflicts/warfare.

In any discussion/conversation one should establish a terminology (e.g.
civilian pilots, ...) to have a common ground when one communicates with
someone else.

If anyone has got a good idea on how to do that, please let me know as I am
quite confused when I look at different publications.

Just some thoughts.
