Do we have any indication that anything has been changed this time
around?

happen now,
in which case things might get interesting...

Personally, I have been seeing much more of a substantive push in this
arena than in times past, owing mostly to the large umbrella of the
Department of Homeland Security. As an example here in Texas -
municipal, county, and some state offices are requiring network
engineers to be licensed SE's (Software Engineers) under the authority
of the Texas Board of Professional Engineers. The language I have seen
in policies published in the last 2 months requires that anyone
programming, configuring, or commissioning routers or other network
hardware that contain internal software systems carry that license.
...it seems that other states are preparing to adopt the SE license
(likely not until the exam is completed) and I wouldn't be surprised
if
a "Cybersecurity Coordinator" required such a license Federally.

Except it's not actually very clear that Software Engineering has all
that much
to do with Network Engineering. You *writing* IOS code, or just
*using* it?
I suppose it's a start, anyhow.

I'm sure Gadi Evron wanted it--- except he used to work for Israel
Defence Force (IDF, Military Intelligence)
http://www.linkedin.com/in/gadievron and knew he would be denied.
Also, Marcus Sachs probably wanted it. Both are power hungry morons in
the Cybersecurity realm respected by little but no people.
But as Marcus Sachs already states on SANS ISC,
http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=7792 he is friends with Howard
Schmidt "I've known and worked with Howard for over 12 years and I
think he's going to do well in this position." Yeah I bet he will---
with you and Gadi telling him what to do behind the scenes.
Israel and Pakistan working Howard Schmidt by the strings. So even
though Gadi is Israeli and Marcus Sachs Pakistani and couldn't be
appointed as cybersecurity czar, they both are going to be working the
strings attached to the puppet show that is about to commence in 2010.
Just when we thought we might have a Cybersecurity czar not related to
Marcus Sachs and Gadi Evron, the White House let's us down again, and
the circle of power continues, the ring of evil that is Gadi and
Marcus, both with connections to foreign Intelligence agency's and
working the strings of the new Cybersecurity puppet.
Anybody who is 12 years friends with Marcus Sachs shouldn't of been
appointed in my humble opinion, and we know Gadi is best friends with
Marcus Sachs, so we are all pretty much doomed to failure, as we all
know Marcus and Gadi have a pro-cyber war agenda and will try and ramp
it up to Howard Schmidt from behind the scenes.
While folks said no one wanted the job, thats correct, but what will
be happening now, is a lot of folks who are power hungry trying to
influence Howard Schmidt for their own agendas from behind closed
doors.
The power hungry's will now be jockeying for position behind the
scenes, to influence and manipulate the new Cybersecurity czar for
their own agendas, and unless Howard Schmidt is on the ball and aware
of this he's going to be used and abused by everybody and he and the
White House will be taken for a ride because all the interest groups
with their own cybersecurity agendas are going to want to exploit
Howard Schmidt, and not all of this might be in the best interests of
the United States.
The United States will need to be careful who gets access to Howard
Schmidt, who is friends with Howard Schmidt and who might be trying to
manipulate and play him.
We are living in dangerous times, unless the new cybersecurity czar is
managed properly.
There are people out there, just two of them mentioned above, who are
pro-cyber war and will want access to Howard Schmidt and they should
be denied access to him, because we don't want Howard Schmidt to be
told the wrong things, that relayed back to Obama and the wrong cyber
political messages being said on television by Obama.
I'm not worried, i'm very worried about who has access to Howard
Schmidt.

To me its amazing how deep into U.S Intelligence and The White House
he's been allowed to go up until now.

Just like many Americans. "... Georgia Institute of Technology in
Atlanta, where he graduated in
1981 with a Bachelor of Civil Engineering degree.
"Commissioned as a Second Lieutenant of Engineers in the United
States
Army in 1981, he served over 20 years as an officer in the Army
Corps of
Engineers. He graduated from the United States Army Command and
General
Staff College, and holds a master's degree in Science and Technology
Commercialization from the University of Texas and a master's degree
in
Computer Science from James Madison University."
An un-American mole, loyal to a country and a long-time US allied
government
that he probably doesn't remember?
I'm wondering whether you're related to:

The real issues are (a) is this billet actually able to originate
policy, (b) interpret existing policy, (c) at least find the RNC mail
archive, (d) ...
Who the hell cares if the billet is filled by a Soviet Mole (tm) if
the job is decoration?

With Marcus Sachs pulling Howard's strings there will be the world's
first *real* Cyber War within the next five years. Do we really want
and can afford that kind of instability and clean up costs all because
we hired someone to be Cybersecurity czar who is friends with people
who are long known to be pro-cyber war?
We're already fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan and are facing an Economic
Crisis, can we afford to start a new front line in the "war on terror"
just to keep the cyber security industry from sinking into debt
because there have been no real traditional cyber threats for some
time because hackers just aren't motivated anymore to write viruses,
worms and release them to the web like they used to back in the day.
It is long known the cybersecurity industry has wanted Cyber War for
some time to keep the diminishing industry a float.
It's half the reason Marcus has been trying to get The White House to
take Cybersecurity seriously in the first place, to pave the way for
the planned agenda for Cyber War, to save the cybersecurity industry.
The original 9/11 was done to save the military defence industry from
diminishing, now its known Marcus would like to do the same for the
Cyber defence industry by creating a "spectacular" event to get the
attention of the new administration and the world's media.

BS snipped.
Just "agenda" related personal opinions and general crap. Hardly COMSEC related
information.
