DTN News - MIDDLE EAST NEWS: Israeli Official Sees Cyber Alternative To "Ugly" War....NSI News Source Info # 1536
(NSI News Source Info) JERUSALEM, Israel - February 3, 2011: Cyberwarfare of the kind waged against Iran last year offers advanced nations an alternative to "ugly" military force with its moral costs, a senior Israeli official said on Thursday.
"War is ugly, awfully ugly," Deputy Prime Minister Dan Meridor told diplomats and journalists at a think tank called the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.
"In modern times, because war is all the time on television ... people see this and can't take it. There are limits. There is a price you pay."
He added: "Because it is difficult, one looks for other ways. One of those other ways is the intelligence community of all the world trying to do things that don't look that ugly, don't kill people."
He declined to discuss the mysterious Stuxnet worm found in Iranian networks last year, but his remarks underscored Israelis' doubts about delivering on veiled threats to use open force against their arch-foe's nuclear program.
