Microsoft-loving (former) security czar calls for closed internet

'Richard Clarke, the man who served President Bush as a special adviser for cyber security, has a five-point plan for saving the internet. Speaking at a Santa Clara University conference dedicated to "trust online," Clarke called the net "a place of chaos in many ways, a place of crime in many ways," but laid out several means of righting the ship, including biometric IDs, government regulation, and an industry wide standard for secure software.

He even embraces the idea of a closed internet - which seems to have sparked a death threat from net pioneer Vint Cerf.'

scary times, indeed...
