Former CIA Director George J. Tenet yesterday called for new security measures to guard against attacks on the United States that use the Internet, which he called "a potential Achilles' heel."

"I know that these actions will be controversial in this age when we still think the Internet is a free and open society with no control or accountability," he told an information-technology security conference in Washington, "but ultimately the Wild West must give way to governance and control."

I saw this also. At first I thought it was Woolsey, until I read more carefully.

I was thinking just the other day, "I feel entirely too free to communicate peer-to-peer without government oversight." Governance and control ... CIA style ... yeah, that's the ticket.
