They don't even try to hide it anymore

It's like magic. Just as the Bush administration is about to propose a new "cyber warfare center," suddenly we get leak after leak showing the risk.

ABC's Brian Ross tells me the Chinese are preparing for a cyber attack and the AP suddenly gets a leaked government video showing a terrorist collapsing the power grid.

Look, I don't have a problem with the idea of a cyber defense center, experts like Richard Clarke have been hollering about it for 5 years. It's the cheap exploitation to sell it that gets to me.

  • Amazing, isn't it?

    I'm always a bit galled when reporters protect anonymity for those who conduct these types of "authorized" leaks.

    It's pro-government propaganda.
