Let's face facts: the CIAO has not been able to fully communicate their assigned gospel, and not all that many have responded as had been hoped for, either in resulting action or urgency.

Critics fear proposed changes to the way the government protects the nation's technology backbone from terrorism could bog down the process and remove the accountability of having a single person in charge. A draft executive order from President Bush, obtained by The Associated Press, would abolish the high-profile post of security chief in favor of a board of about 21 officials from all major federal agencies. http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,45337,00.html ------------------ http://all.net/ Your use of Yahoo!
