Today's Cyber Security Announcement
The 60-day review that Melissa Hathaway completed on April 17th contained a recommendation for a cross-agency oversight of network and host security. Today President Obama announced that he's going to accept her recommendation and "appoint an adviser to oversee the security of government and business computer networks in response to widespread attacks and information theft."

Since Ira Magaziner shorted the first Clinton administration on public policy in the post-ARPA network, there's been nothing, so this is a significant speech. Still, he didn't say "reports to me" or other indica that the appointee will start with real responsibility and authority, or just muddle along his or her way via jaw power.
