A Struggle Over US Cybersecurity
by possibly noteworthy at 7:56 am EDT, Mar 10, 2009

The resignation of the federal government's cybersecurity coordinator highlights a power struggle underway over how best to defend the government's civilian computer networks against digital attacks.

Rod A. Beckstrom resigned the post Friday after less than a year on the job, citing a lack of funding and the National Security Agency's tightening grip on government cybersecurity matters.

"He brought a completely different perspective, which in one way could have been his undoing," said a senior member of the intelligence community.

From the documentation:

MemeStreams has a reputation system, which takes your perspective into account.

From Decius, in 2007:

Always the classic:
