He was also part of the Air Force's 'Computer Crime and Information Warfare division'. In related news, the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace has received Bush's signature and will be released to the public in the next few weeks. Clark's blunt staements on the to the need to avoid erosion of privacy rights is rumored to have rubbed the administration the wrong way, prompting his exit. Anyone know how Schmitt will view the relative security of closed versus open source?"

I guess you think it would be pretty cool to get your name on the frontpage (maybe you can show it to your prospective mates) as the first to submit a story, but is he called Clarke, or Clark? Schmitt or Schmidt? And what does "on the to the" mean?
