Ofcoarse hes a good addition. From reading that list of names, he is probably the only one who knows the internet is not actually a "series of tubes."

Go figure the government does have good ideas...too bad it's always late

Maybe the suits will actually learn the technology instead of the typical...What is it, what does it do, I do not understand so it must be bad and we need to contain it and squash it. So here is hoping.

Who cares about HS and their privacy robbing practises?

Then they are going to ask him smart questions like... what is a browser? Do you need to put www. in front of it? Is PC better than Mac? Should we use Norton or McCaffee for our nuclear weapons network? You know... really smart government questions. Unfortunately you got a super smart guy interfacing with morons. They need a dozen like minded Moss's...

cyber security is in a way putting more security and restrictions to us users later on. if they want to be full proof...PENTAGON has zillions of money. why not create a different OS that is not windows based. in that way nobody can get into them. this is all crap from the pentagon and CIA. next thing you know once you start doing something...there will be warnings poping up n your system and probably a bunch of FBI agents breaking your door coz they think your a terrorist.

Throw out the last 2 sentences, please.

The only other two that I agree with are CIA and FBI directors Bill Webster and Louis Freeh. How about putting some actual IT folks on the council instead of people who pay someone to surf the internet for them.
