“The National Security Agency and Cyber Command are on the front lines of defending the United States against cyberthreats. We must stop demonizing these quiet intelligence professionals and start giving them the tools they need.”

Words today from Presidential candidate Jeb Bush, whose positions on cybersecurity and privacy are detailed in a WIRED analysis of his Cybersecurity Plan, released Monday. Pretty depressing stuff. Luckily for those of us who think he’d be terrible for the internet as America’s president, Donald Trump seems to be trolling him so effectively that he seems to have little chance of winning much.

OH NOES it’s this tired old design trope again in the Cybersecurity Report release on Jeb Bush’s campaign website.
