] President Bush has approved the White House's ] long-awaited national cybersecurity strategy, a landmark ] document intended to guide government and industry ] efforts to protect the nation's most critical information ] systems from cyberattack. ] ] In an e-mail sent Thursday to White House officials, ] cybersecurity adviser Richard Clarke said that the ] National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace has received ] Bush's signature and will be released to the public in ] the next few weeks. After all the controversy about possible revised versions of this document, you mean to tell me that they fucking approved it without allowing public comment on the final draft?! If this thing is significantly different from the version they posted online in October, then you can rack this up as the administration giving the security industry, and the public at large, a big middle finger. This is NOT democratic, and if they think for one second that they have all the right answers we are in a lot of trouble. (Slightly reminded of the military establishment's opinion of Rumsfeld.)
