Cyber War Gets Its Own Museum Show

We still don't have a White House cyber czar and the Pentagon is still fine-tuning the details of the Cyber Command, but the International Spy Museum in Washington plans will launch a cyber war show dubbed Weapons of Mass Disruption next month.

The show will be heavy on video interviews with folks such as Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair; former Special Advisor to the President on Cyber Security Richard A. Clarke; Lee Hamilton, co-author of The 9/11 Commission Report; Sen. Christopher "Kit" Bond, vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence; and R. James Woolsey, former CIA director.

The folks over at the Spy Museum also told me that through the use of multimedia, the show imagines the potential devastating impact of a coordinated attack. A successful cyber strike on America's power grid could include blackouts, the breakdown of water and sewage treatment capabilities, the crippling of transport and communications systems (including those of the military), the uncontrollable spread of epidemic diseases, the near-total cessation of economic activity, and widespread civil unrest bordering on chaos.

Other than the above, this show sounds like a real upper.
