...interest of full disclosure, in its final stretch From Paris With Love is inadvertently hilarious (Rhys Meyers gets most of the intended laughs; he's halfway to good in this mess). The dramatic climax involving a beautiful suicide bomber is particularly funny. The revelation that she is bad to the bone leads to great bafflement on the part of her former fiancé, who is crushed by her betrayal.

Cyberdefense "never works" by itself, says the senior Pentagon officer. "There has to be an element of offense...
