<HTML>Hier ist schon mal die zentrale Stelle, in der sich Rumsfeld/das Pentagon für die Berücksichtigung und Vorbereitung auf momentan noch weniger wahrscheinlich erscheinende, aber umso gefährlichere Bedrohungen ausspricht:
The challenge that presents the least likely threat — but that, if realized, could render the United States most vulnerable — is “disruptive” technologies. These include new breakthroughs in sensors, information technology, biotechnology, miniaturization on the molecular level, cyber operations and directed-energy weapons — capabilities so spectacular they would quickly give an adversary an edge.
“Rumsfeld thinks that overall, the capabilities are too focused on the traditional,” a former Pentagon official said. “What we need to do is take some of those resources to make sure we have enough to address some of these other potential threats.”</HTML>
