The latest US National Intelligence Strategy Report was released last night. However, the Director of National Intelligence website was unserviceable for a few hours. The document is now made public and available at this address:

http://www.dni.gov/reports/2009_NIS.pdf

This report which is released every four years, is considered as a guide for the future US strategy, procurement policy, economic trend, threats, etc. It also points out major cyberpowers in the world i.e. China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.

This is a quite interesting prospective summary of what the next US/global challenges are deemed to be. Financial and sanitary situations are examined as well as asymmetric threats and proliferation. A document that needs reading from everyone, actually.

The French Defense White Paper had already stressed threats from non-state actors, and for the first time, cyber warfare had been pointed out in an official document.
