Comments: Our dependency on our technical infrastructure

It's also a warning about how vulnerable daily business can be with the clipping of a couple key lines and how easy it turned out to be.

I saw this on Maddow tonight, good for her. She intimated that local union disputes may have a part in this story, but I only caught the tail end of the segment. Have you heard anything about that, CA folks?

Most of the comments about the DoD budget have been some sort of distortion of the facts; however, I have heard only one mention on the tube of the increase in funding for cyber warfare identified in Secretary Gates list of new priorities. The USAF has a new Command dedicated this problem, so communications security is probably better than what we have done on port security, railroads, chemical plants, all the weak points identified half dozen years ago.
