Fears of a Security Brain Drain
Annalee Newitz , SecurityFocus 2002-04-10

Some computer security professionals are already feeling the pinch from a new Defense Department policy discouraging contractors from hiring non-citizens. The Pentagon says it's about loyalty; visa holders call it classic xenophobia.

The United States of America.

A land of freedom, opportunities. A true american? A true american is an apache indian, an siouxie indian, or so.

Remember, my friends of America, the United States needed the World once, and it was the land of opportunity.

Every "non-citizen" from Italy, Ireland or Germany now constitute your country. Your country was built on the hard work of these people, of their sweat and their blood.

Dont turn your back to the World that helped you to build this land of freedom and opportunities. Even the Statue of Liberty is not american, and soon, you'll need the World again.

This redneck from Texas and the stupid clown from Saudi Arabia turned your country into a place of hate and you're even losing your freedom. Remember "the Carnivore". Remember the "Millenniun Act". Remember every law and every system created to be the true Big Brother over your country and even other countries in the World.

Dont be so close minded over the "aliens" or "non-citizens". Jesus, you're losing your common-sense to paranoia! We ARE NOT the enemy.

About the US being a sanctuary of IT workers, fine.

I agree. But, the Indians, the Brazilians or Russians and other "non-citizens" are used to deal with a wider range of situations that you don't deal with and require a lot of creativity to solve, and that's the difference. Non Academic situations. I'm not saying we are better, i'm saying that we have this difference and we do.

And, by the way, where is your so called freedom, again? Now you don't have the freedom to hire foreigners, even if they are not enemies and having nothing against them. Sorry, anywhere in the world, this is *censorship*.

Tomorrow, you cannot travel to India because the redneck says India is an "evil" country.

Next week you wont be able to send e-mails without having them checked by a DoD employee (Hello Again, Carnivore).

Next year, you can ellect Usama Bin Laden Jr. as your President, because your country in nothing but a rich version of the Afghanistan and the Taleban.

Wake up, America! Don't trash the freedom the world admires.
