1.Assume that the President directs the military to carry out an operation to hack into a North Korean government server, and delete all the data there. Assume the operation is not a covert action. Can you make an argument that there is not sufficient legal authority to do this? Can you make a contrary argument?
2.The United States for many years has conducted high-intensity military operations against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, primarily relying on the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force against al Qaeda (on the theory that ISIS is the direct descendent of al Qaeda in Iraq). Does a CENTCOM cyber operation to take down an IS website require an additional authorization apart from that? Does the geographic location of the server in question factor into your analysis?
