| What?
If they so concerned about security, then just do not allow installing those applications on company's computers. It seems that a lot of universities and colleges can do it but the government can't...
Oh, wait a minute... Is a security concern just a picked up reason to shut P2P down? It seems to me... |

Regulate your own and you won't have anything to share. Sounds like personal interest are getting in the way with work. sound's like a loss of ethics.

I'm not sure but I think it's probably a bad idea for an active duty general to serve on the board of a tech corporation. |

You know... more and more of these people seem to be sponsored by someone. I think that we should just end the facade and make them wear jackets or outfits like Nascar and other sports, with their sponsors on them.
At least it would make it easier to know who supports them, and vis a vers a. |

BUT, Wesley Clark is retired. And has been since May 2, 2000.

The story should mention that he is a retired General. Otherwise, it is misleading.

Re: What a moron
What a moron? I think, in this case, it should be "what a less-on"  The general apparently has less sense than the moron. |

Why change procedures to eliminate a basic problem when you can just throw more money at an ineffective "solution"?
Your government at play work!

| Ban use of the telephone as well
If Gvt employees cannot avoid letting confidential materials out on P2P networks then how can they be trusted to use the telephone as well? I say ban Gvt use of telephones as a matter of urgency!
Seriously is this ex General losing it? A spot of training and a better IT approach would solve most problems. |

2 edits | We don't need no stinking security....
With all of the security features that are out there today - Group Policy, router/firewall ACLs, Network Access Control, etc - the government IT folks have no excuse.
I mean, seriously, my clients have more secure networks than the government it seems. We've got group policy on most systems locked down so boneheaded users can't fuck up their machines. We've already got ACLs on their routers to stop Limewire, Kazaa and others to so that some employee with an MP3 fetish can't saturate their internet links. And the kicker is, most of these clients have less than 100 employees.
Rediculous... The government, with all its resources can't spend the time and money protecting important data like employee records, but they sure as hell can find the money to build bridges to nowhere in Alaska, or even worse, pay raises for do-nothing, know-nothing Senators, Representatives, Presidents and Vice-Presidents...
Edit: Oh yeah, and watch now... Someone on the Hill, politically connected to one of these P2P monitoring/security companies is going to be raking in the cash shortly when their buddies get the contract to provide software/hardware to the government. Just watch.

Why not focus on your own security?.
More importantly why are the system administrators allowing this software to be installed on Government, *cough-secure-cough* computers. Why are no internet filters in place to block such software. This is a failure of LEADERSHIP.
The employee's (government officials) should know full well that its wrong to install p2p software on work computers (and likely against policy) and if they are found to be using such software at work FIRE THEM.
Problem solved.
