Would be useful to google some info on George Tenet. http://www.google.com/search?q=George+Tenet&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

Particularly, this gem: http://www.disinfopedia.org/wiki.phtml?title=George_J._Tenet

There is little evidence to support Mr. Tenet's claim that further government regulation will increase the stability or the security of the Internet.

Just how do you envision "the federal government needs to play an enduring technical role in ensuring the stability and security of the internet"?

This also does not consider that other parts of the world (Japan, Korea, India, UK, Brazil, etc) use the Internet and it's not just the private reserve of the US Federal Government anymore.

A flawed assumption from Mr. Tenet, compounded by flawed analysis above.
