My pal Greg Skilling wrote up a piece at The Examiner on this and passed it along to me. Wow. I'd missed 60 Minutes last night so I didn't see this. Double wow:

Unnerving much?

While the administration of former President George W. Bush and his erstwhile partner former Vice-President Dick Cheney dithered about with two foreign wars, America was under attack. Sunday, on CBS' 60 Minutes, reporter Steve Kroft interviewed Project Director for the Commission on Cybersecurity for the 44th Presidency, Jim Lewis regarding the attacks.

"In 2007 we probably had our electronic Pearl Harbor. It was an espionage Pearl Harbor," Lewis said. "Some unknown foreign power, and honestly, we don't know who it is, broke into the Department of Defense, to the Department of State, the Department of Commerce, probably the Department of Energy, probably NASA. They broke into all of the high tech agencies, all of the military agencies, and downloaded terabytes of information."

Much more here.

The next time a Rushpublic uses that tired, meaningless old talking point about how BushCo kept us safe, refer them back to this. Then remind them that 9/11 happened on their watch.

Mission accomplished.
