White House CyberSecurity - Jobs, Research, and Rhetoric, but Few Results
Richard Forno, 2001-12-12

The commitment by the federal government to further computer security research may be laudable, but it fails to address the root cause of most security issues: bad software.

NSA SELinux is not a product that "big brother"provides.
It is a project direction suggestion, a challenge to
the Linux OS to become better... and since it is
open source all can review it's code and say yea or nea!

We would really have to worry if NSA proposed SEWindows (because then we would only have marketing to deal with and we would never be able to examine the code to see for ourselves if the security claims made were true or not).
There would be no way to test it!
