War of information

War of information

From Media Indonesia

Some experts say that information control is a precondition
for global domination. Wiretapping is, in fact, a method to gain
information by illegal means. It is only legalized by countries
in government institutions, such as intelligence agencies or its
secret services.

In the case of wiretapping the Indonesian Embassy by
Australia, such methods incur a breach of ethics in international
relations, which can certainly disturb diplomatic ties.

Indonesia, for instance, may counter-tap the Australian
Embassy in Jakarta in this "war" for information. The one that
secures accurate information faster, particularly on strategic
matters, will eventually gain material "power".

This war will, of course, affect the foreign policies of the
two nations in regards bilateral relations.
