Feds urge secrecy over network outages
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2004-06-23

Giving the public too many details about significant network service outages could present cyberterrorists with a "virtual road map" to targeting critical infrastructures, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which this month urged regulators to keep such information secret.

Does the Department of Homeland Security believe it is serving the public when a causal level of activity or outages remains undisclosed? What about the economic impact of outages to those affected. What about the poor schmuck that has to tell his or her boss 'I don't know why it's not work!'.

It appears that a number of people at DHS are not concentrating on core issues and are instead engaged in a witch-hunt approach to domestic security practices. What a joke, who pays these guys anyway?
