            <description>By Benjamin H. FriedmanThe Wall Street Journal reports that the Pentagon will soon release a policy document explaining what cyberattacks it will consider acts of war meriting military response. Christoper Preble and I warn against this policy in an op-ed up at Reuters.com:
The policy threatens to repeat the overreaction and needless conflict that plagued American foreign policy in the past decade. It builds on national hysteria about threats to cybersecurity, the latest bogeyman to justify our bloated national security state. A wiser approach would put the threat in context to calm public fears and avoid threats that diminish future flexibility.
Reuters headlined our piece: “A military response to cyberattacks is preposterous.” Actually, our claim is not that we should never use milit...</description>

            <title>Wikileaks: Galvanizing ‘Cyber-Conservatism’?</title>

            <description>By Jim HarperMercatus Center senior research fellow (and Cato alum) Jerry Brito has an interesting Wikileaks post on Tech Liberation Front.
The most vocal and strident reaction against Wikileaks has come from folks we can identify as neocons. Aside from demanding that the U.S. hunt down Julian Assange, Charles Krauthammer wrote, “Putting U.S. secrets on the Internet, a medium of universal dissemination new in human history, requires a reconceptualization of sabotage and espionage — and the laws to punish and prevent them.” Meanwhile Marc Thiessen, ignoring the distributed nature of WikiLeaks, called for the U.S. to “rally a coalition of the willing to defeat WikiLeaks by shutting down its servers and cutting off its finances.” And William Kristol, for his part, asked rhetorically...</description>

            <title>Shopping Under Pressure: Cyber Monday Psychology</title>

If your shopping budget wasn&amp;#8217;t completely sapped by Black Friday sales, it&amp;#8217;s now Cyber Monday, and instead of catching up on work emails, you&amp;#8217;re probably sifting through enticing online sales and contemplating whether you should go for those boots that are on sale an com with free shipping. Am I right? But according to Psychology Today&amp;#8217;s blog, you&amp;#8217;re probably making shopping decisions differently than you normally would – and you might end up with the wrong stuff in your closet because of it.
We&amp;#8217;ve all been there: Standing around in a crowded store, clutching the last set of pink mixing bowls that&amp;#8217;s marked down 30%, trying to decide whether to seize the deal and keep our nonrefundable purchase, or leave it to some other shop...</description>

            <title>Planning a Cybersecurity Auto-Immune Reaction</title>

            <description>By Jim HarperA Senate plan to give the president authority to seize control of the Internet in the event of emergency is security malpractice of the highest order. As I told C|Net&amp;#8217;s Declan McCullagh, this is a plan for an auto-immune reaction. When something goes wrong with the Internet, the government will attack that infrastructure and make society weaker.
The Internet is the medium over which we communicate and self-organize. It&amp;#8217;s where emergency response happens&amp;#8212;where individuals learn what is happening, communicate it to others, compare notes with friends and loved ones, and determine appropriate responses. (Our appreciation for &amp;#8220;first responders&amp;#8221; should not be diminshed by noting that they are typically second responders, taking over for private citizens...</description>

            <description>By Jim HarperWired News reports on another bill proposing to create government authority to take over the Internet&amp;#8212;this time, because of &amp;#8220;cyberattacks.&amp;#8221;
Most revealing is the part of the report exposing how Senate staff must fish around for reasons why the authority would be exercised, never mind to what effect:
In order for the President to declare such an emergency, there would have to be knowledge both of a massive network flaw — and information that someone was about to leverage that hole to do massive harm. For example, the recent “Aurora” hack to steal source code from Google, Adobe and other companies wouldn’t have qualified, one Senate staffer noted: “It’d have to be Aurora 2, plus the intel that country X is going to take us down using that vulnerabil...</description>

            <title>Is the Threat of Cyberattack Growing?</title>

            <description>By Jim HarperThe New York Times dutifully reports that the Director of National Intelligence says it is. But it&amp;#8217;s hard to know what that means. The word &amp;#8220;cyberattack&amp;#8221; has no usefully fixed definition.
And the important questions&amp;#8212;plural&amp;#8212;include: 1) whether cyberattacks&amp;#8212;plural&amp;#8212;are growing in number and sophistication more quickly than the capability of infrastructure owners to fend them off and recover from them; 2) which, if any, owners lack incentives to secure their infrastructure and what security externalities they might create; and 3) what levers&amp;#8212;such as contract liability, tort liability, or regulation&amp;#8212;might correct any such market failures.
Some lines in Director Blair&amp;#8217;s statement are quite telling. Compare this:

            <description>By Jim HarperThe headline strikes fear: &amp;#8220;House Takes Steps to Boost Cybersecurity,&amp;#8221; says the Washington Post.
What boondoggle are they embarking on now?
Cybersecurity is hundreds of different problems that should be handled by thousands of different actors. The federal government is in no position to &amp;#8220;fix&amp;#8221; cybersecurity, as I testified in the House Science Committee earlier this year.
But this is a good news story. Realizing that its own cybersecurity practices are not up to snuff, the House of Representatives will be ramping up training for its staff.
Better awareness of the ins and outs of securing computers, data, and networks will disincline Congress to undertake a rash, sweeping &amp;#8220;overhaul&amp;#8221; of the systems and incentives that produce and advance cyber...</description>

            <description>These hands once strong and busy
Now seem so inhumane,
Compared to applying bandages
Or searching for a vein.
To wipe emerging newborns
Who are screaming their first breath,
To hold worn, experienced hands
Of those embracing death.
Nursing felt so worthwhile
With its many healing arts,
My hands touched many bodies
As well as aching hearts.
Some days I feel the burden,
Of your pain and my own.
Its descending heaviness
Like lead within my bone.
Were I Mrs. God Almighty
So many things I’d change
Beginning with your life and mine,
So much I’d rearrange.
I’d start with all the injured
From war and accidents,
All the fine young men and women
Dealt life’s cruelest incidents.
Courage has new meaning
When I witness what they do
Returning into battle, wounded,
Much like me and you.
We slog a...</description>

            <description>The AP and other sources have been reporting on a &amp;#8220;cyberattack&amp;#8221; affecting South Korea and U.S. government Web sites, including the White House, Secret Service and Treasury Department.
Allegedly mounted by North Korea, this attack puts various &amp;#8220;cyber&amp;#8221; threats in perspective. Most Americans will probably not know about it, and the ones who do will learn of it by reading about it. Only a tiny percentage of people will notice the absence of the Web sites attacked. (An update to the story linked above notes that several agencies and entities &amp;#8220;blunted&amp;#8221; the attacks, as well-run Web sites will do.)
This is the face of &amp;#8220;cyberwar,&amp;#8221; which has little strategic value and little capacity to do real damage. This episode also underscores the fact that &amp;#8220...</description>

            <description>Last week, I had the opportunity to testify before the House Science Committee&amp;#8217;s Subcommittee on Technology and Innovation on the topic of “cybersecurity.” I have been reluctant to opine on it because of its complexity, but I did issue a short piece a few months ago arguing against government-run cybersecurity. That piece was cited prominently in the White House&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;Cyberspace Policy Review&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8212; blamo! &amp;#8212; I&amp;#8217;m a cybersecurity expert.
Not really &amp;#8212; but I have been forming some opinions at a high level of generality that are worth making available. They can be found in my testimony, but I&amp;#8217;ll summarize them briefly here.
First, “cybersecurity” is a term so broad as to be meaningless. Yes, we are constructing a new “space” analogo...</description>

            <description>I&amp;#8217;m no information security expert, but you don&amp;#8217;t have to be to realize that an outbreak of cyber-alarmism afflicts American pundits and reporters.
As Jim Harper and Tim Lee have repeatedly argued (with a little help from me), while the internet created new opportunities for crime, spying, vandalism and military attack, the evidence that the web opens a huge American national security vulnerability comes not from events but from improbable what-ifs. That idea is, in other words, still a theory. Few pundits bother to point out that hackers don&amp;#8217;t kill, that cyberspies don&amp;#8217;t seem to have stolen many (or any?) important American secrets, and that our most critical infrastructure is not run on the public internet and thus is relatively invulnerable to cyberwhatever.

            <description>National Journal&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;Expert Blog&amp;#8221; on National Security asked me late last week to comment on the question, &amp;#8220;How Can Cyberspace Be Defended?&amp;#8221; My comment and others went up yesterday.
My response was a fun jaunt through issues on which there are no experts. But the highlight is the response I drew out of Michael Jackson, the former #2 man at the Department of Homeland Security.
It does little to promote serious discourse about the truly grave topic of cyber security threats to begin by ridiculing DHS and DOD as &amp;#8220;grasping for power&amp;#8221; or to suggest that President Obama has somehow been duped into basing his sensible cyber strategy on &amp;#8220;a lame and corny threat model called &amp;#8216;weapons of mass disruption.&amp;#8217;&amp;#8221; It shows ignorance of the fac...</description>

            <description>There are two parts to securing a country: making the country secure and making the country feel secure.
The head of U.S. Strategic Command, General Kevin Chilton, failed at the latter when he talked about security in a way that produced the following headline: U.S. General Reserves Right to Use Force, Even Nuclear, in Response to Cyber Attack.
As a theoretical matter, every element of military power should be on the table to respond to attacks. But the chance of responding to any &amp;#8220;cyber attack&amp;#8221; with military force is vanishingly small. To talk about responding with nuclear weapons simply helps spin our country into a security tizzy.
Politicians and military leaders should stop inflating the risk of cyber attack. (Source: Cato-at-liberty)</description>

            <description>In 1961, President John F. Kennedy stood before a joint session  of Congress and declared:&quot;It is time for a great new American  enterprise -- time for this nation to take a clearly leading  role in space achievement, which in many ways may hold the key  to our future on earth ... First, I believe that this nation should  commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out,  of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the  earth. No single space project in this period will be more impressive  to mankind, or more important for the long-range exploration  of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish.&quot;In setting such an ambitious goal, the President was primarily putting at risk a handful of volunteer astronauts, several of whom actually did perish...</description>

            <description>One hopes not. But the White House&amp;#8217;s 60-day review of cyber security, ongoing now, could set the stage for it.
In a TechKnowledge piece out today, I argue against federal responsibility for private cyber security. A common law liability regime is the best route to discovering and patching security flaws in all the implements of our information economy and society.
The smarties at the Center for Information Technology Policy at Princeton recently sat down to discuss these issues too. (Source: Cato-at-liberty)</description>

            <description>Did Thanksgiving and now full speed ahead into December with all of its festivities, plus a few extras. Today is &amp;#8220;Black Friday&amp;#8221; here in the US, formerly known as &amp;#8220;the day after Thanksgiving when people line up at 5am to charge the stores to get super-special-deal-discounts on holiday purchases&amp;#8221;&amp;#8212;as you probably guessed, we didn&amp;#8217;t hit any malls with Charlie in tow. He has a general aversion to shopping for clothes, electronics, and anything in the closed confines of the modern mall. Once upon a time, we went to malls with pretty much the sole intent of walking around for exercise on a cold winter day, with the promise of escalator and elevator rides. Charlie&amp;#8217;s interest&amp;#8212;desire&amp;#8212;to ride the likes of those has waned (and, too, some rather pai...</description>

            <description>Super Shopping
 To aid you in preparing for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, we at the b5 Lifestyles and Health/Wellness channels have compiled shopping lists and suggestions.  The lists also are usable beyond these two shopping days.  You can get ideas here for your gift giving.
I have lists (in the Pages sections of my blogs) posted at:  One Book Two Book, Quilting and Patchwork, and Alzheimer&amp;#8217;s Notes. 
One Book Two Book:
2008 Holiday Gift Guide (Mary Emma)
Quilting &amp; Patchwork:
2008 Holiday Gift Guide for Quilters &amp; Fabric Artists
Alzheimer&amp;#8217;s Notes:
Holiday Shopping for Alzheimer&amp;#8217;s Caregivers
Did you find one list more helpful than another?  If so, which one?
Enjoy!

            <description>Last week I was in Olympia, Washington to do some group lobbying. There is a bill due out of committee which will exempt durable mobility equipment (scooters, wheelchairs, walkers and the like) from state sales tax. It’s a good bill; a compromise from a much bigger bill that got stuck in committee last year. No one seemed to be against the concept but in a tight budget year, some good bills don’t make it into the budget.
I ran into an old friend with multiple sclerosis at the hotel where representatives of three chapters of the National MS Society were gathering to strategize. He told me something that made me very happy – happy for all of us. His news also concerned me a little bit and I want to address it today.
Seems he was at one of those MS seminars recently, you know the ones s...</description>

            <description>To announce some new stuff:
My game blog is up!  It&amp;#8217;s a blog dedicated to my new journey as an online gaming newbie.  Currently, I&amp;#8217;m playing Perfect World.  And my character&amp;#8217;s name is Friamar.  Please do visit!

Also, our barkada&amp;#8217;s first mini-movie is up too!  I didn&amp;#8217;t post it in youtube because it really is our first time to do it, so it&amp;#8217;s a bit crappy.  But we had so much fun doing it!
So, just visit Cyber Sabeerday, our barkada&amp;#8217;s blog, to see the movie! (Source: Prudence and Madness)</description>

            <description>After being dormant for a while, I&amp;#8217;ve decided to resurrect the barkada blog in order to kindle their interest in blogging. I&amp;#8217;ve chosen to just get a free blog because I thought it may be easier for the newbies (two of us in the barkada are already blogging) to learn.
Please visit our barkada blog, Cyber Sabeerday! Don&amp;#8217;t forget to read the history of our barkada! It&amp;#8217;s still a tad bare, but eventually we&amp;#8217;ll put some more improvements. (Source: Prudence and Madness)</description>

            <description>As we continue to turn toward an increasingly digital existence to do business, to connect to people, to learn; so to will criminals and other unsavory characters turn to the virtual world to conduct their business.  These persons will continue to devise new methods of manipulating us through technology. It appears however, that our judicial systems are not evolving at an equitable pace. This was especially true in the Megan Meier case, where the myspace page owner that was leaving nasty, threatening remarks which led to Megan’s suicide, was not found to be guilty of harassment or any other charge. 
	I work with a group of close-knit, young females and it is a rare day that I don’t hear about some kind of myspace drama happenings. However, these theatrics seldom get any more harassing ...</description>
