Amit Yoran, the cybercop for America

Does anyone else find it ironic that most of the brownies including some of us self-proclaimed un-NRIs are hassled (including full cavity body searches) and then the Bushies appoint a brownie, Amit Yoran, as the “nation’s new cybersecurity chief to lead government efforts to combat online hackers and terrorists.” Amit is by the way a VP at Symantec.

Yoran, vice president for managed security services at Symantec in Cupertino, will also be chief coordinator of the U.S. government’s international efforts to protect global computer networks. [ San Jose Mercury News ]

  1. Ah. Get your facts right dude. Amit Yoran is the son of Israeli immigrants, making him definitely not a “brownie”. Furthermore, he is definitely not a bushie.. try doing some research. (ie: Google.com, give it a whirl)

  2. Listen up, sir. When and if you are able to graduate from Public school and then get a high school leaving certificate, I’m sure a University will consider you for a program leading to a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Computer Science. And maybe, the Bushies may consider you for a job similar to the one Mr. Yoran currently holds.Until then, why not go back to driving your septic tank truck.
