Comments on: Homeland Security hires new privacy chief

Hugo Teufel III becomes the agency's second permanent officer in the role since Congress created it in 2002.

Privacy should be taken seriously.

Good to see that someone has actually taken over this position. For someone who is knowledgeable about privacy, Teuffel sounds like a promising candidate.
With all the government data breaches in the news lately, hopefully he will take into concern issues surrounding email correspondences, security holes and laptop thefts that have affected so many Americans.

privacy for some

We hope this is an earnest effort. The government has been quite hypocritical about it's dealings with privacy under this administration, e.g. Valarie Plame/Ambassador Wilson, NSA... Apparently, when the President makes an off color remark @ the G8, that's when privacy seems to matter.

Just another government cronie

What was this person's background? VP of rival

New low for Pres. Bush

If there was ever any doubt regarding his evilness, the appointment of der Teufel himself as privacy chief clearly demonstrates his intent.

President Chavez may be dismayed to discover that he and der Teufel share first names ... but maybe not.

der Teufel

This appointment absolutely confirms my worst suspicions. That the president would appoint der Teufel himself as "privacy czar" clearly demonstrates evil intent.

(But Pres. Chavez may be dismayed to see that he and der Teufel share the same first name).
