They saw it politically advantageous to do something in the wake of Slammer that made them look like they were on top of things. Plus, any way of doing something that pisses on the democratic process clearly gets this administration's nut off. At least, thats how it appears.

Its a homeland security issue after all, and that gives you license to do away with the American way of doing things because this is a "Do or Die" time that requires decision makers that decide things in a decisive mannor, to fight dictators we need to well. . . yea.. We trust our leaders to do such things, thats why we elect them with a majority vote. To take control.

Yes sir, I feel my security is in good hands. All the security experience the guy from Microsoft is bringing to the table will certainly pay off. They will do a good job of eliminating all that open source software creeping its way into our national infrastructure like a damn virus. Damn "peer review" means the terrorists can see it! God damned communists...
