Nation's cybersecurity chief quits

October 3, 2004

BY TED BRIDIS

WASHINGTON --

The government's cybersecurity chief has abruptly resigned from the
Homeland Security Department amid a concerted campaign by the
technology industry and some lawmakers to persuade the Bush
administration to give him more authority and money for protection
programs.

Amit Yoran, a former software executive from Symantec Corp., made his
resignation effective Thursday as director of the National Cyber
Security Division, giving a single's day notice of his intention to
leave.

He kept the job one year.

Yoran has privately confided to industry colleagues his frustrations
in recent months over what he considers the department's lack of
attention to computer security issues, according to lobbyists and
others who recounted these conversations on condition they not be
identified because the talks were personal.

We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the
son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of
them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?
