Just to add on to this - this past weekend, Georgia Government websites 
were hit with Denial of Service attacks (DOS) and claims are that it was 
  done prior to the armed attack over the weekend.

So while reviewing our policies we need to take into consideration that 
the Internet is a potential battleground with equally devastating effects.
