What I'd like to know is WHY the US government is using products by the Master Of Shoddy which have proven to be open to attacks for a decade. I'm not a Unix whore, but I think that if years ago the Government had gone at Bill Gates and said that they wouldn't buy his product (millions of copies and untold amounts of $$$$$) UNTIL it passed very stringent security tests. With that kind of incentive MicroSoft WOULD have done alot more to make their OpSys alot more secure -- and We would have had it already and wouldn't be facing the daily threats and have it an avenue for serious terrorist/enemy attacks.

How about closing te Commerce Dept along with te Education Dept., start cutting gov by 5% every yr for 5 yrs & I'll bet we get more efficency & less hacking.
