>What would happen if NSA mistakenly targets a nuclear reactor, and a bug in the malicious software caused a meltdown. First order of business is covering your tracks. An accident happened, period. >Is that a declaration of war, similar to a US launching a nuke? Would US be liable, and under what jurisdiction? No. At worst you get to use your diplomatic channels to sort things out. Rembember, the target also needs to save face. Having allowed NSA to cause a reactor meltdown is not something anybody would want in their CV. >Could the US President be put under Interpool arrest warrant, charged as an terrorist? I do not know enough about Interpol to offer an answer on this one. But I would say that it is as likely as having USA kicked out of Nato or UN. One would have to start a parallel institution without US for that to be even remotely possible.
