Michael W. McConnell: “The number-one security threat to the United States of America was cybersecurity, or cyberterror, however you want to…”

The Internet was not designed to be secure. The rules and contracts put in place when it was commercialized were not written with security in mind.

America is unacceptably exposed to massive cybercrime, global espionage, and potential cyberattacks that would very easily cripple our infrastructures.

Solicitor General Kagan deserves not a grudging acquiescence, but an enthusiastic confirmation as an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court.

Many will say that we should let the market fix cybersecurity. I'm familiar with this one because I, myself, wrote it in 1996, and I'm still waiting.
