US gov't secrecy wastes money, erodes
security, and locks up nonsensitive info
08/27/2004 01:45 PM
Cory Doctorow:
The OpenTheGovernment.org report on US government secrecy has just
been published, and boy are its conclusions harsh: the US government
is $6.5 billion/year keeping stuff secret (not counting the CIA
budget, which is another secret), 90% of those documents don't contain
anything particularily secret, and the result is that government
agenciies and the public have their effective operations hamstrung
because critical parts of the information needed to get by have been
classified.
Compounding the problems is the fact that the government can't seem to
let go of secrets that just aren't valuable any more. It took the CIA
20 years to declassify the fact that Augusto Pinochet, Chile's
dictator, had a taste for distilled wine. Overall CIA budgets from
decades back are still kept under wraps. And the pace of
declassification has slowed since 9/11: 43 million pages in fiscal
year 2003, as opposed to 100 million in 2001, according to the ISOO.
Not surprisingly, the amount of money spent on releasing information
has also slipped, from $231 million in 2001 to $54 million last year.
At the same time, the public thirst for government information seems
to have risen. More than 3.2 million requests for federal documents
were made under the Freedom of Information Act last year. That's about
1 million more than in 2001.
The cost of keeping secrets, according to OpenTheGovernment
coordinator Rick Blum, comes largely from maintaining the patchwork of
databases and networks that hold the government's sensitive
information. Physical security of classified information has also been
a major cost -- and a major concern. The repeated misplacement of
secret disks at Los Alamos National Laboratory has shut down the
nuclear weapons center for the last six weeks. That means a big chunk
of the lab's annual budget of $2.2 billion has been devoted to the
security lapses, so far. Those figures weren't included in the
OpenTheGovernment report card.

Chief Security Officer Howard Schmidt
only
lasted a few months as the White House IT security advisor. Now,
he's moved on and created the
Global Council of Chief Security Officers as a sort of
"think tank for chief security officers". At first, this sounds like
a publicity stunt designed to drum up business for consulting
purposes, but you have to admit he's put together a fairly impressive
list of participants, including Whit Diffie and Vint Cerf.

Is The Contact Info You Provide Someone

Is The Contact Info You Provide Someone
Public Or Private Info?
02/10/2004 05:32 PMI've complained in the past about the
annoyanc
e of Plaxo spam. Lately, the more I've been thinking about Plaxo,
the more it annoys me. Though I've never had anything to do with the
company, and have never responded to a single spam, they now have a
database with my contact info that others gave it. Bambi Francisco
over at CBS Marketwatch has
noticed the same thing with Spoke Software, which she
finds disconcerting. However, I'm wondering about the bigger legal
issues: is the personal info you've given to individuals for business
or personal reasons shareable? Some say that all Spoke is doing is
collecting
public information. However, if the info was given to an
individual, is there a reasonable expectation that the information is
not public at all, but for private use only? I'm not sure what the
answer is, but I wonder how long until there's a lawsuit around this
issue. Personally, like so many other things, I don't think it's
something you can get "back in the box," but these systems do reveal
to me who is freely giving away personal information about me, which
could make me less willing to do business with them in the future.
