Summary:

A UK legal case involving the prosecution of terrorist activities is used as an example of the failure of the legal system to operate in a 4GW/5GW environment.

This however underscores even more clearly the abject failure of the legal approach in counter-terrorism operations. In the Long War, the network is just another element of the battlespace, and it is futile to attempt to use structures designed centuries ago to obtain victory in this new age. Moving forward, deeper into the 21st century evolution of 4th and 5th generation warfare, it will no longer be merely futile but, like this incident illustrates, entirely absurd.

The term "lawfare" is specifically singled out as a 5GW activity.
