But in any case, what's the point of keeping the U.S. government's action or non-action secret?
As the linked piece states:

It's sort of like the Doomsday Machine in Dr. Strangelove: it just doesn't work as a deterrent if you keep it a secret.
Or is all this secret "cyberwarfare" capability that the U.S. government is secretly building only going to be used in secret?
