Homeland Security Adds Cybersecurity Position
Matimus writes "Information Week has a story about the new Cybersecurity position in the Department of Homeland Security. They have stated IT management is one of their six major concerns." From the article: "Homeland Security's decision to create an assistant secretary for cybersecurity and telecommunications is expected to be well received by Congress and IT advocates calling for better use of technology in securing the country's physical and virtual borders. In May, the House of Representatives passed a $34 billion budget for Homeland Security that called for elevating the nation's head cybersecurity official to assistant secretary status."
Yeah, I've often lamented that the terrorists are picking the wrong group to jihad...instead of blowing up innocent citizens, they should focus their efforts on the White House and the Capitol.
The government has had a jihad against the American people for a while now.
Yep...I just made some government list...
Well yea but no one votes for Vice President. At least until Dick Cheney came along it was largely a ceremonial post. Since Dick Cheney its the office where the real power lies in America today because George is to dumb to run a pathetic little oil company or a baseball team, let alone a superpower.
As soon as the VP who invented the Internet ran for President he lost once again proving there can never be people in the government who understand IT. If that Al Gore had had a better mastery of IT maybe he could have rigged the election in his favor instead of it being rigged so he lost.
