Cyber-attacks could inflict as much damage on the US as the physical attacks on 11 September 2001, the US defence secretary has warned.
Leon Panetta said the country was preparing to take pre-emptive action if a serious cyber-attack was imminent.
He said US intelligence showed "foreign actors" were targeting control systems for utilities, industry and transport.
Advanced tools were being created to subvert key computer control systems and wreak havoc, said Mr Panetta.
"An aggressor nation or extremist group could gain control of critical switches and derail passenger trains, or trains loaded with lethal chemicals," said Mr Panetta in a speech to business leaders held on the USS Intrepid - a former aircraft carrier that is now a museum.
"They could contaminate the water supply in major cities, or shut down the power grid across large parts of the country.
"Such a destructive cyber-terrorist attack could paralyse the nation and create a profound new sense of vulnerability," he said.
Smaller scale cyber-attacks were now commonplace, said Mr Panetta.
In recent weeks, many large US firms had suffered attacks that had involved them being bombarded with huge amounts of data, he said. In addition, oil companies in Qatar and Saudi Arabia had been hit by the Shamoon attack, which had tried to replace computer data with gibberish. About 30,000 machines were hit by the Shamoon attack.
The US defence department had developed tools to trace attackers, he added, and a cyber-strike force that could conduct operations via computer networks. And it was now finalising changes to its rules of engagement that would define when it could "confront major threats quickly".
"Potential aggressors should be aware that the United States has the capacity to locate them and hold them accountable for actions that harm America or its interests," he said.
"If we detect an imminent threat of attack that will cause significant physical destruction or kill American citizens, we need to have the option to take action to defend the nation, when directed by the president."

Answer by joyfull2006
I definitely agree on the 3 true country artists you mentioned, I don't like to put anybodies music down, but in this case I will speak my mind. For the life of me I just can't believe the people that actually have no clue what country music is about. I'm still in shock about how that "Cowboy Casanova" is country..my mother can not understand one single word because that song is so fast. Its funny how everyone chastised Faith Hill for crossing over at one time, but now everybody just doesn't seem to care when other artists do the same. I could go on & on about that subject. It just seems to me in my opinion today,for cou ntry I would have to choose Miranda Lambert, Gretchen Wilson, Josh Turner( although he hasn't had any hits for awhile),Randy Travis(trying to make a comeback) in all honesty right at the moment that's all I can think of, of course, your picks are right on the money.I just can't understand how everyone can put Carrie Underwood above Reba? I know I will get alot of thumbs down on my long drawn out answer..especially giving my honest opinion on Miss Underwood..only country song IMO she sang was "I Told You So", and Randy Travis is the only person who can sing that song...his vocals were perfect for that song..not hers. I mention on here I like different artists & songs. Again country is just not country anymore. One last thing Gretchen was popular & I'm hoping she comes back with some more good music, her last CD had some good music on it..nobody seemed interested though...............
Answer by lynn
of course reba and george strait. i love luke bryan and miran da lambert.
Answer by 18 gibbs 20
the one and only George Strait.
Answer by blakree
true that George Strait,Alan Jackson,Reba are the fore runners. But ther are still some like Marty Stuart,Hank Jr,Brooks and Dunn,Tim McGraw,Ricky Skaggs all have some songs which are borderline to true or traditional country
Answer by sgoldperson
Well since you said POPULAR that is about it, but I'd leave Reba off based on her latest music. Oh and to the one who said Garth Brooks, he ISN'T Country he was POP.
Answer by VIRGO
You forgot to mention Garth Brooks.
Answer by nucci s
I agree with yours and Jamey Johnson. It's too bad Waylon had to go, but now Mr. Johnson is stepping up.
