“The resignation was announced Aug 3 or 4, and will take place at end of month.

The flag program was a way of creating an explanation for David Axelrod’s emails going out to persons who never contacted the White House—for months, the White House has been collecting data on opponents of health care from members of Congress—meaning TWO branches of government colluded against the citizenry to do this!!! The flag program was an almost silly contrivance, clearly, so that people would think their names had been “reported” — when the White House HAD ACTIVELY COLLECTED THEIR EMAIL ADDRESSES FROM CONGRESSCRITTERS.

Ms. Hathaway had initially been considered a leading contender to fill the cyber post permanently. She lost favor with the president’s economic team after she said it should consider options for regulating some private-sector entities to ensure they secure their networks, said cybersecurity specialists familiar with the discussions. Being a holdover from the Bush administration didn’t help either, they said.
In February, the White House tapped Ms. Hathaway, a senior intelligence official who had launched President George W. Bush’s cybersecurity initiative, to lead a 60-day cybersecurity policy review. Ms. Hathaway completed her review in April, but the White House spent another 60 days debating the wording of her report and how to structure the White House cyber post. National Economic Adviser Larry Summers argued forcefully that his team should have a say in the work of the new cyber official.
