and do you think that the US is so clean cut that that's what they'll do? utilize it only in The Ghan?

The State Department is financing the creation of stealth wireless networks that would enable activists to communicate outside the reach of governments in countries like Iran, Syria and Libya.
...countries like Iran, Syria and Libya..

what other countries are like Iran, Syria and Libya?

Cuba? China? Nth Korea? Venezuela?

ASU thats so funny, but its a little bit scary how close to reality this is. About 9 months ago now, the UAE was going to suspend the services of Blackberry because it couldnt get access to the BB networks messenger service. I dont know what sort of deal they struck in the end, but the governments excuse was national security. having people communicate on networks that they cant get access it is a recipe for anarchy and terror, and they couldnt accept that.
