NSA will monitor private-sector networks
The Bushization of Obama continues with a plan to involve the NSA in screening private-sector networks, The Washington Post reports.
The plan not only uses the NSA to monitor private networks but it does so in a way that makes it unclear who exactly is in charge of the effort.
“We absolutely intend to use the technical resources, the substantial ones, that NSA has. But . . . they will be guided, led and in a sense directed by the people we have at the Department of Homeland Security,” the department’s secretary, Janet Napolitano, told reporters in a discussion about cybersecurity efforts.
“In a sense?” Great.
