Forget about World War III, when it comes to cybersecurity it might just be World War II all over again. Not that anyone wants to go back and fight the bloody battles of the mid-20th Century war, but U.S. cyberdefense may want to take a page from the successes of the Greatest Generation.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Washington – Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D | Los Angeles County) issued the following statement in light of the announcement that alt-right movement leader and Breitbart News executive chairman Steve Bannon will be Chief Strategist for President-elect Trump’s White House.
The Saudi-led coalition is hitting civilian targets, like factories, bridges and power stations, that critics say have no clear link to the rebels. In the rubble, the remains of American munitions have been found.
Representative Ted Lieu is one of the few people in Washington asking tough questions about US involvement in Yemen.
This week, Representative Ted Lieu sent a letter to the Secretaries of State and Defense, in which he made a remarkable charge: “U.S. personnel are now at legal risk of being investigated and potentially prosecuted for committing war crimes.”
A Democratic congressman who has been critical of U.S. support for the Saudi Arabia-led campaign in Yemen is demanding details on the U.S. role in the conflict, saying the United States could be violating the law of war.
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) asked Defense Secretary Ash Carter and Secretary of State John Kerry in a letter to explain a senior administration official’s recent comment that U.S. support for the coalition does not include target selection and review.
