+ Bush's Cyberstrategery: The administration's war against a bogus threat </a>,

+ March 3, 2003.
+ </strong></font><br>
+ Brendan Koerner's thorough dissmissal of the total unreality and FUD 
+ surrounding the Bush Administration's recent
+ <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/pcipb/">National Strategy 
+ to Secure Cyberspace</a>, NIPC, vendors and others who profit by
+ big-lie-hyping the threat of system crackers into a new force to be
+ made war upon, like the "war" on drugs and the "war" on terrorism.
+ Concludes: "... the bulk of the report's solutions are lame. Most
+ are meaningless jargon, such as suggesting that "future components
+ of the cyber infrastructure are built to be inherently secure and
+ dependable for their users." A fantastic sentiment, but as mushy
+ as stating that the president is "for the children." What about
+ making software vendors liable for bug-ridden products? Or rooting
+ out insecure Microsoft products like the troubled SQL server in favor 
+ of more secure open-source solutions like
+ <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/">OpenBSD</a>?"
+ I can scarcely believe that Slate's owner Microsoft is paying 
+ them to write this stuff (nor that Koerner thinks OpenBSD is a database :-)).
+ Finally: "Nothing so bold is forthcoming in the Strategy. Which is
+ yet another indicator that the czars of national computer security
+ are perfectly content to tease out the hyperbole in perpetuity.
+ The bigger the perceived threat, the greater their importance inside
+ the Beltway."
