'Frustrated' U.S. Cybersecurity Chief Abruptly Resigns

POSTED: 11:32 am EDT October 1, 2004

WASHINGTON -- The government's cybersecurity chief has abruptly resigned after one year with the Department of Homeland Security, confiding to industry colleagues his frustration over what he considers a lack of attention paid to computer security issues within the agency.

Amit Yoran, a former software executive from Symantec Corp., informed the White House about his plans to quit as director of the National Cyber Security Division and made his resignation effective at the end of Thursday, effectively giving a single's day notice of his intentions to leave.

9. Actually I think Clarke took the position for a short time

before he decided to write his book and blow the whistle on the imbeciles in charge.

4. Is it me

or does it seem everytime someone leaves a position in the Bush Syndicate the void they leave behind blows up into some sort of mysterious event?

Are we to expect a major internet catastrophe now?
