On Tuesday, the White House declassified cybersecurity somewhat when cybersecurity czar Howard Schmidt pulled back the curtain, at least a bit, on the Bush administration’s secretive plan to defend the nation’s computer networks.
At the RSA Conference, a security industry event, in San Francisco Tuesday, Mr. Schmidt announced that the Obama administration was partially declassifying the 2008 Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative (CNCI) in the name of transparency.
“Transparency is particularly vital in areas, such as the CNCI, where there have been legitimate questions about sensitive topics like the role of the intelligence community in cybersecurity,” said Schmidt in a statement posted on the White House blog.
The declassified portion of the CNCI includes descriptions of 12 broad initiatives of the CNCI, but few details.
According to the Wired Threat Level blog, “the most most controversial part of the declassified plan is a discussion of a need for the government to define its role in protecting private critical infrastructure networks” such as telecoms, the electric grid, Internet providers, and banking networks.

This isn't transparency, you moron. THIS IS TREASON!
Howard Schmidt from Google...one of the idiots who planned to fork over every search queries from Google to DHS. Transparency my ass.
Actually, bHo is just taking over another market ... there is no money in espionage when the government just gives it's secrets away!
Double speak at its most dangerous. Obama and his backers are knowingly bringing down the U.s., all the while lulling Americans with the continual insertion of words like “transparency,” “progressive,” “justice,” “racism,” used by NPR and NYT to keep its listeners in a state of obtundedness about the fact that the America that is the greatest, fairest country ever on the face of the earth is being destroyed in front of their eyes.
Good Lord.
What’s next?
“Obama administration gives list of all CIA operatives in the name of transparency.”
I mean THIS is not ‘transparency’ for God’s sake!
