There seems to me to be a troubling trend of cybersecurity officials dropping
off like flies in the face of Bush's new cybersecurity policy. The
Washington Post article mentions this pretty matter-of-factly, without
offering much speculation as to the reason why. One is left only to think
that Bush's policy will be so invasive as to scare these guys away.

--Bush Approves National Cybersecurity Strategy; Cybersecurity
Advisor Clarke Resigns
(31 January 2003)
President Bush has signed the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace.
The document will be released to the public within the next few weeks.
In addition, Richard Clarke, White House cybersecurity advisor, is
resigning his post; Clarke's deputy, Howard Schmidt, has assumed his
duties. Schmidt is the former chief security officer for Microsoft
Corp. and has a strong sense of the importance of government and the
private sector working together to address cybersecurity.

[Editor's Note (Schultz): Howard Schmidt is a top-notch person, and I
am glad to see that he is assuming the role vacated by Richard Clarke.
(Paller) Dick Clarke did more to advance the cause of cybersecurity
than anyone else inside or outside government. He'll be sorely missed
by everyone who cares about protecting networks from attack.]
