But this right here:
" A leaked executive order from President Obama shows the administration asked intelligence agencies to draw up a list of potential offensive cyberattack targets around the world. The order, which suggests targeting "systems, processes and infrastructure" states that such offensive hacking operations can offer unique and unconventional capabilities to advance U.S. national objectives around the world with little or no warning to the adversary or target and with potential effects ranging from subtle to severely damaging. The order followed repeated accusations by the U.S. government that China has engaged in state-sponsored hacking operations, and was timed just a day before President Obamas summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Has nothing to do with spying on US citizens and is treason to disclose.
