A recent denial-of-service attack on government and private sector computer systems in Estonia
has spurred renewed interest in cybersecurity.
The Bush Administration
is preparing to unveil a major "Cyber Initiative" designed to thwart
malicious acts by states or transnational threats. Congress is pressing
for details and consultation on the plan, and the House Homeland
Security Committee recently announced the creation of a commission to
study the government's proposals.
As these efforts get underway,
Congress and the Administration need to ensure that their initiatives
meet all of the nation's priorities: enhancing security, promoting
economic growth, and preserving the liberty and privacy of American
citizens and respecting those of our friends and allies.
