Trainwreck: Kathleen Sebelius' Top Ten Testimony Fails

(8) Facing pointed questions about data security -- some relating to today's AP scoop -- Sebelius assured Americans that she was 'absolutely committed' to protecting their private information. But being nominally "committed" to something doesn't make it a reality. For instance, this huge security vulnerability came into being despite Sebelius' prized commitment.

I work for a big international bank. I happen to know a bit about PII (Personally Identifiable Information) and how the banking regulators require us to treat PII and protect customer information from being exposed to unauthorized parties. Fact is, we can be fined or worse for not protecting our customer's personally identifiable information.

The information security of our systems are constantly being evaluated by Auditors and Regulators here in the United States, Europe, Asia/Pacific and most stringently: Singapore.

If we mistreated our customers information the way that Kathleen Sebelius is treating our taxpayer information, we'd have been SHUT DOWN.

That's a FACT. Here you have the HHS Secretary "signing off" on taking known, and worse yet unknown and undocumented risks with OUR personal and financial information. If the bank I work for did that, we'd be SHUT DOWN and likely OUT OF BUSINESS as our customers would leave us.

Yet, this witch-with-a-b Kathleen Sebelius who has NO background in Information Technology, Information Security, or frankly good customer service has the POWER to "sign off" on putting our PERSONAL and FINANCIAL INFORMATION at risk via NO ENCRYPTION of our information anywhere within the system?

Get a rope.

“He should have excommunicated her long before now”

Do not remember the details.

Basically she excommunicated herself and was told to not present herself for the Eucharist.

Or it could have been Pelosi who was counseled by her bishop. Hopefully it was both.

Bottom line — she excommunicated herself.
