As a note, I keep rewriting my Digital Anarhy and Wikileaks article, and now this has put me into another minor rewrite.
I think the importance is that infopower has risen mightily, conventional power, as it does not know how to deal with any asymmetrical command and control structure (the infostate not having one), it lashes out with conventional exertions of power, as seen here.
