Comments on: An open letter to the incoming cyberczar

When he or she takes up the post, CNET News.com's Declan McCullagh has some advice how not to repeat the mistakes of predecessors.

You guys are the last ones to be giving advice

Cnet, seriously, you guys are the last ones on earth to be giving
someone advice. You know that story about people in glass houses
not throwing stones>?? I can't tell you the nubmer of times you
guys have commited sins against the journalistic standard.

Please you guys are pathetic. So why am i here in the first place?
Well I totally overlooked your link in my RSS feed. My bad. I'm
going to fix that right now, because god knows you dont belong in
the NEWS section.

You would think that Declan McCullagh would have done
research before writing a letter to the new Asst. Sec. (who is
nothing close to final). For example, the position has never
been termed "cyberczar" officially it is simply one of those the
media created and others less affiliated with the activity have
kept.

First time I've seen his name associated with anything cyber
security related. Oh well, I guess everyone can make a few
mistakes the first couple time. Welcome to the community
McCullagh, you will catch on in time.

There is a good point in the letter, however, the lack of response
to any of the strategy recommendations from 2003. Not much
to show for and a lot of catching up to do.
