I'm not holding my breath. On the one hand, the party in power generally prioritizes the things it wants to get done over the things it would like to see punished. On the other hand, if you dig too deeply into anything in Washington, you're going to find wrongdoing on both sides. And on the other other hand, presidents don't generally act to limit their own power.
There may actually be an opportunity here to break the back of the Repbulican party, but it's not clear that that would benefit the Democrats. The timesharing arrangement they've got going now seems to work out pretty well for them. How much do you think they want to face a wave of conservative activists energized to build a new party?
Submission + - Chinese Cyber Attacks on DOD Networks
Anonymous Coward writes: "As seen in: SANS NewsBites Vol. 9 Num. 14
The Naval Network Warfare Command says Chinese hackers are relentlessly
targeting Defense Department networks with cyber attacks. The "volume,
proficiency and sophistication" of the attacks supports the theory that
the attacks are government supported. The "motives [of the attacks
emanating from China] ... include technology theft, intelligence
gathering, exfiltration, research on DOD operations and the creation of
dormant presences in DOD network for future action."
