Obama Set to Create A Cybersecurity Czar With Broad Mandate

President Obama is expected to announce late this week that he will create a "cyber czar," a senior White House official who will have broad authority to develop strategy to protect the nation's government-run and private computer networks, according to people who have been briefed on the plan.


Still waiting for that Pony & Rainbow Czar to be announced.   :whatever:

Quote
The adviser will have the most comprehensive mandate granted to such an official to date and will probably be a member of the National Security Council but will report to the national security adviser as well as the senior White House economic adviser, said the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the deliberations are not final.


Maybe he should name a White House Security Czar to keep information from leaking so easily.   :whatever:

*snip*

Quote
The White House's role will be to oversee the process, formulate policy and coordinate agencies' roles, and will not be operational, administration officials have said.


Ah...just gaining a bit more power for Barry.   :whatever:

When you combine this with the proposed "Cyber-Bullying" bill, there are some scary implications for the first amendment.

Good luck with that, Comrade Zero.  If der Schlickmeister couldn't keep her under control, what makes you think you've got a chance?
