Does Any Freeper know anything about that little punk aide to Clarke, Roger Cressey????

[TaxRelief]

The only possible answer: Someone offered him enough money to change his story.

Could be blackmail, too....

JULY 11, 2003 (COMPUTERWORLD) - WASHINGTON -- Richard A. Clarke, the former special adviser to the president for cybersecurity, has joined Arlington, Va.-based Good Harbor Consulting LLC as chairman.

Clarke joins Roger Cressey, president of the firm, who served as Clarke's chief of staff at the President's Critical Infrastructure Protection Board and before that as the director for Transnational Threats on the National Security Council.

Good Harbor Consulting plans to target a wide range of corporate clients, from the Fortune 500 to small technology start-ups, providing strategic consulting services in the areas of homeland security, cybersecurity, protection of critical infrastructure and counterterrorism.

John Tritak, former director of the Commerce Department's Critical Infrastructure Assurance Office and a longtime government thought leader on cybersecurity issues, has also joined the firm as its CEO, said Good Harbor.

In addition to the core team of Clarke, Cressey and Tritak, the company will rely on what Cressey calls a "network of subject matter experts" and has been negotiating a partnership for the past several weeks with another major security consulting business.

Cressey and Clarke plan to focus on four key areas: strategic planning, product and business strategy evaluation, partnership opportunities and strategic security risk assessment.

"For too many companies, Washington is a jumble of acronyms and an indecipherable procurement maze," according to the company's new mission statement. "Good Harbor uses its unique combination of experience in the halls of government and with the information technology industry to provide clients with partnership opportunities to better negotiate the U.S. government space and the critical infrastructure vertical markets."

Howard Schmidt, a former White House colleague of both Clarke and Cressey who is now chief security officer at eBay Inc., called the new venture a "natural progression" for Clarke and Cressey, given the years the two spent working together in government. When asked about his own plans, Schmidt said he also had considered going into private practice as a consultant and may still do so on a part-time basis.

Clarke announced in January that he was stepping down from his cybersecurity role in the U.S. government, ending a career at the National Security Council that had spanned three administrations (see story). His career was characterized by a concerted effort to enhance the government's relationship with the private-sector operators of critical infrastructure.

Shortly after leaving government, he testified at a congressional hearing that he didn't think the Bush administration was moving fast enough in organizing the National Cyber Security Center (see story). Clarke also called on Congress to fund vulnerability scanning sensors on all federal networks, and he recommended that federal agencies outsource cybersecurity projects and withhold money from vendors if the agencies get failing cybersecurity grades.

LOL - that thread was fun - and more realistic than what I was watching on the tube today!!!

Clarke looks like he's taken a dose of radiation or two!

Thanks for the laugh...

In my case, it had to do with his tap dancing his way out of explaining why it would have been wrong to have launched a pre-emptive attack on Hitler. But it was some time ago and my memory fades on specifics.

HOLY CREDIBILITY GAP!

[eeriegeno]

Kerrey just slammed FNC for showing the transcripts of the 2002 Clarke interview, saying that they exhibited a violation of trust from a "background interview."

I would think that, as Kerrey steps down from the commission which is supposed to discover facts and find truth, that he owes FOX a major public apology for his admonition of FOX for broadcasting the truth about this Clarke clown.

What I can't understand though is what is Clarke's motive here? Is he defiant because he was not promoted to a job that he thought that he deserved? Is he a John Kerry yes-man? Does he just hate Texans? One thing that I noticed during his testimony today is that he does, in fact, have a very big ego......

[ducks1944]

I wonder where all these media people was when the Clinton's released the letter from K. Willy????

[Howlin]

Clarke joins Roger Cressey, president of the firm, who served as Clarke's chief of staff at the President's Critical Infrastructure Protection Board and before that as the director for Transnational Threats on the National Security Council.

Well, well. No wonder Roger baby was all over TV last night, telling anybody who would listen what a credible guy Clarke is/was.

Nice find!

[Ann Archy]

Lil Punk Roger Cressey needs to be looked into.

[maro]

Bob Kerrey earned his war medals. You'll also note that he rarely talks about the fact that he's a hero.

[GOPJ]

Clarke doesn't tell what a person has said that's damning, he tells what he thinks they were thinking that was damning.

For instance, if Condi turned and said "nice day", most folks would take her words at face value and assume she meant "nice day".

Clark would ignore the words, look at her expression or her eyebrows, or whatever and "read" bizarre false meaning into her comment.

Clark might say, "she said 'nice day' but I could tell she wanted to tell me she didn't understand her job". Or that "she wanted to fly" or whatever. In other words, Clark doesn't tell us about Condi, he tells us his own projections.

TRUTH BUMP!!

[Grampa Dave]

The arrogance of these lying liberals and the mediots in charge of ABCNNBC BS and the pulp media is incredible.

Thanks to Fox News and thank you for posting this.

[Grampa Dave]

How is this for more lies on the POS Clarke.

[kcvl]

Well, isn't that interesting! It's CYA time for these people.

From November 1999 to November 2001, Mr. Cressey served as Director for Transnational Threats on the National Security Council staff, where he was responsible for coordination and implementation of U.S. counterterrorism policy. During this period, he managed the U.S. Government's response to the Millennium terror alert, the USS COLE attack and the September 11th attacks.

What would those "responses" be. I think we are all STILL waiting!

Universal Guardian and its subsidiary corporations provide products, systems, and services to mitigate security and terrorist threats worldwide.

SORRY, but I wouldn't hire them!!!

bttt

[Coop]

I respect you both, even though JG and I rarely agree. But John, if you want to get into the credibility issue, in my book you finish a distant second to WM.
