“Are our Armed Forces evolving with a similar speed and urgency, are they adapting with a similar nimbleness?
“How do we evolve rules of engagement in asymmetric warfare situations?
“Should we be redefining the borders of the Geneva Convention in the light of military engagements with armed militant combatants?
“Can we observe the same human rights rules where suicide bombers and persons determined to die and take with them as many innocent lives as possible are the enemy we must confront?
“What are the borders of the right to privacy and freedom of expression on the internet?
“What is the responsibility of Nations of the world in policing the internet, which has become a virtual training ground for much good and as much evil?”
