are any of the civilian agencies really prepared/capable of dealing with 'cyber attack'? it seems fairly natural that a 'cyber attack' (on the gov't, or it's pieces/parts) is equivalent to an 'attack' on same. We don't arm the NIST folks with Ar-15's and send them over the hill, we do that with marines.

"cyber attack" wasn't what caught my eye. It was the notion of NSA having a domestic role defined in policy that I thought was different here.
not all packets have source addresses in the US, not all facilities in the US Gov't cares about are in the Us.
