    Huh that's pretty interesting, being classified to me tells me that it was another government that handled the attacks too. This actually reminds more more of Transformers than it does Terminator. :)

    At least we know the Pentagon uses Windows, not Macs. :)

    I was under the believe that for mission critical machines that the Pentagon wouldn't be running Windows computers but apparently a lot of computers are.

    That's not to say Macs are immune to viruses though. ;)
