Comments on: Homeland Security IT chief blamed for cyberwoes

Top Democrat suggests CIO isn't fit to keep his job amid reports of security-related "incidents." CIO points to "significant progress."

Who's watching who?

Like the the panel members are qualified to even be discussing this stuff? I'm sure they can hardly select a radio station in their car or set their digital watch and they are evaluating the very complex issue of computer security. What a joke. Yes, It's important and a cyberattack would criple this country easily. Look at Estonia as an example. A few Russian hackers brought the country to a standstill.
Congress has proven time and again that they are incapable of oversite but are too busy getting ink to let that bother them.

Looking "at Estonia as an example"...

... perhaps, it will have to be the scenario where like that in the United Kingdom where you have MI5 and MI6, you will have to have the DHS and the CIA combining to address those internal and external security scenarios.

Did anybody really expect otherwise from this bunch of clowns. These Bushies make Boss Tweed seem nonpartisan.

Mississippi - 48th in education

While I would not try to defend the DHS from much needed criticism, perhaps Rep. Bennie Thompson should look closer to home for issues that need immediate attention.

Being ranked 48th out of 50 in the quality of state education is a matter that would seem to be far more pressing.

IT chief blamed for cyberwoes

There always has to be someone blamed for security breaches. Sometimes I think companies hire people just for scapegoats.

If this man's career is at stake a formal investigation should be done before allegations are made about his efforts.

So often we judge after a general opinion and not after true facts. A lot of companies and even Government oganizations still do not see the necessity of professionally maintained information security infrastructure. That is becuase of ignorance.

We must not be ignorant of information security and we should stay ahead of the criminals if we want to win the war on information security.
