In reviewing this, I find it amazing that Laura Callahan (the former senior deputy director at DHS who resigned in 2004 after an investigation found out that she had received three degrees from a diploma mill in Evanston, Wyoming) is now working again for US Cyber Command as a GS-14 employee as of May 2011. If you google her name, you'll find the entire story of what her lack of qualifications did to several government agencies and the white house (clinton e-mail scandal). My question is that how did someone with a history of misleading investigators get hired for this type of position (which no doubt involves access to classified information ala NIPR/SIPRnet, JWICS, etc) given her previous 'fraudulent' degrees. A check of OPM regulations shows that lying or misleading investigators in the course of a background investigation, including prior bad acts, and falsification of academic credentials is grounds for termination, or being marked ineligible for hiring. I would suggest if the military wants to keep losing ground, all it needs to do is to continue to hire persons like Ms. Callahan and watch the damage unfold. As for the part of outsourcing, you might want to ask Booz Allen Hamilton and IRC federal about their recent break in by Anonymous and the loss of sensitive information and PII.

The lawyers for Righthaven are first class jerks who haven't been laid in 30 years. As a resident of Las Vegas, these hacks are nothing more than copyright trolls who don't understand the concept of 'fair use' and have already been b***h slapped by a few judges (rock on!), but I hope someone turns around and sues their a**es (don't get mad, get even) :)
