You have my second as well with one large exception.  Some members of
this group understand the problem better that your average FBI type
does, HENCE IT IS incumbent upon us not to let matters worsten.  To
bitch and rank it to do nothing.  If no one with IWAR understanding
does not work to gain political backing and the bucks to protect that
infrastructure, I, for one, will not give the play book away to the bad
guys simply to cop an attitude vis a vis how badly things are being
handled.  Conde Rice and her 21 Deputies from nearly every large agency
will be as useful as dopey, laughy, sneezy  and their pal, brain dead
of the new seven dwarves.

This is no longer a game and it is time to put your money where your
mouth is.  To claim we are the "all knowing" of the IWAR circut and
then to do nothing makes you look just as bad as the AOL lover-Im not
kidding- on Dr. Rice's Committee.  In fact it makes you look worse
because you know better.
Fred, Tony and company, we have to attempt to effectuate change, or at
a min. not allow these fools to damage national security dependent
parts of the cyber infrastructure beyond repair.  It is a real
possibility with the attacks like Code Red, and others from foreign
nationals whose goals are to trash that system we rely on. I hate being
correct in such situations, but it is hard to deny. I did grow up in a
second rate nation and I will do whatever I can to slow down the
adversaries. How about you, folks?  It is gut check time and I hope you
will take the chance at intervention.
