Mr. Brown –
Sorry to bother you again.
Would it be possible for you to provide us with a
headshot of yourself that we could use next to your comment?
If not, that’s fine.
Thanks,

Paul-
The president should move to reform the demonstrably
unethical and ineffective manner by which the various federal intelligence agencies
collaborate with contracting firms such as HBGary and Palantir, whose
employees have been revealed via an ongoing investigation by Anonymous to have
engaged in a degenerate campaign against Wikileaks, Glenn Greenwald, and our
own movement, among other parties. That our own all-volunteer, emergent
committee of IT specialists and tacticians were able to infiltrate HBGary's
servers and distribute the very "information" that they hoped to sell
to the FBI should be of concern to everyone who hopes to see our
government protect the nation from the real threats that stem from Chinese and
Russian hackers - threats which have nonetheless expanded even as the feds turn
more resources over to investigating our liberty-oriented collective.

Mr.
Brown,
Amid
all the budget discussions in Washington, D.C., we’re doing articles across several
of our TechMediaNetwork Web sites (including LiveScience, SPACE.com and
TechNewsDaily) that will offer up the thoughts and advice of experts in many
fields.
We
hoped you could participate by offering a very brief reply by 2 p.m. Eastern
time Friday, to post on SecurityNewsDaily.
Here’s
the question we’re asking each participant: If you could ask President Obama
and Congress to do one thing that would be for the good of cybersecurity, what
would it be and why?
Please
provide a bit of explanation and reasoning, but be brief -- 2-4 sentences is
all we're looking for, and anything more will be edited down.
Your
response will be compiled with several other experts in the field, to be
published next week. We’ll let you know when it goes live.
Thanks
very much,
Paul
Wagenseil
