An interesting article, with some information on the people
who'll probably be appointed to run the Department of Homelands Security's
division of Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection.

But somebody has to make the bad pun, because otherwise it's just sitting there -
we fought Clipper a few years ago, so now I guess we'll have to fight Clapper....

Actually, according to the article, Retired General Clapper
has been a Beltway Bandit and currently runs the National Imagery and
Mapping Agency (satellite photo analysis), and Stewart Baker thinks
highly of his management abilities. There's also discussion of
various people who might be working under him, including
Nuala O'Connor Kelly, formerly DoubleClick's deputy privacy offer.

One senior intelligence officer said Clapper faces a "monstrous" task.

"Everything else looks easy in comparison," he said. "Either part of his
bifurcated title is tough enough. Put them both together, and it's mission
impossible ... If it's not mission impossible, it's mission in need of a
miracle."
