White House Statement on the Review of Critical Infrastructure Protection and Cyber Security

WASHINGTON, May 9 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following was released today by the White House:

STATEMENT BY THE PRESS SECRETARY

Review of Critical Infrastructure Protection and Cyber Security

The White House is working with federal agencies and private industry to prepare a new version of the National Plan for Cyberspace Security and Critical Infrastructure Protection, to be completed later this year. The Bush Administration's National Plan will be prepared in close collaboration with the private sector and other concerned groups outside of the Federal Government. The Department of Commerce's Critical Infrastructure Assurance Office is coordinating the efforts of several Federal departments and agencies which are contributing to the Plan's preparation. Meetings have been held with representatives of several sectors including banking and finance, electric power, rail transportation, oil and gas, state and local law enforcement, the information technology industry, and telecommunications.

At the same time, the Administration is reviewing how it is organized to deal with information security issues. A cabinet-level meeting recently reviewed the issue. Recommendations to the President will be made shortly on structuring an integrated approach to the national economic, governance, and national security aspects of cyber security and critical infrastructure protection.

As the President said in his letter to Congress on March 1, this Administration believes critical infrastructure and cyber security are issues important to the health of the Nation's economy, to the functioning of government agencies, to law enforcement, and to national security. These two initiatives highlight the President's commitment to protecting our Nation's critical infrastructure.

and this: Broadband Deregulation Bill Clears House Committee

Dubya's boy Billy Tauzin does not believe in competition, or the notion a strong defense lies in a diverse plan it would seem. He being yet another whore for the Multi-Nationals thinks it just great we aid the monopolies in their market killing activities. Centralize everything, increase exposure to attack with less diversity, deter innovation and free market principles! That be what these Republicans are really about. Course anyone with a functioning brain, or not a selfish fatass pig knows this going in.

Now what was that crap bout some Bush infrastructure plan?

``The whole purpose of this bill is to kill local competition,'' said Russell Frisby, president of the Competitive Telecommunications Association, a group of independent phone companies.

Russel Frisby needs to wake-up and understand Free Enterprise is not welcome with a Capitalist Facist regime in the WH.

Is this the same White House who proposed a Constitutional Lawyer for the SEC and who fights for the First Amendment that the Fringers of the Right (the real wannabee Fascisti) are now trying to lynch online?

Seems like the wrong way to go towards "totalitarianism" of any sort. HINT to KOOKS: as long as the First is protected by the Supreme Court even YOU can post to your asshole hearts' delight. But puhleeeese try to be "consistant".

Do we need to go into Bush and the "there ought be limits to freedom" internet deal Mister Reuben? Bush works cause many are simply to busy to take a good look see.

Whackos are not the problem. Why? cause they are honest. The threat lies in those who "appear to be something they are not". Harvey Pitt "appears" to be some upstanding moral family guy. All for the American Way! But has no problem defending Corporate Criminals, Teen Porno distributors, or groups of Capitalists who want to centralize and control a major component of the equity market. He is not honest, he don't "fly straight".
