LA Times reported it in today's paper: http://www.latimes.com/technology/la-000080558oct09.story Clarke is correct. He's a Clinton admin holdover. Rather hawkish: http://www.politechbot.com/p-02337.html
The gloom and doom sayers pointed out why the nation was on the verge of an "electronic Pearl Harbor." Chief among them was Richard Clarke, the National Security Council's "Dr. Strangelove" of cyber-security.
A letter that Tauzin sent Clarke last year: http://www.politechbot.com/p-01680.html Google will have more on Clarke. But this isn't that terribly interesting, IMHO. -Declan On Tue, Oct 09, 2001 at 09:40:50AM -0700, Xeni Jardin wrote:
White House press spokesman Ari Fleischer just announced pending appointment of the "Officer of Cyber-Security" to the Homeland Defense Team. I believe the appointee name was Roger Clarke, I may have the first name wrong. They're going to brief more on this in about 30 minutes, and I'm sure more details will be evident by day's end.
