As reported by the BBC, "
Cyber attack on Pentagon e-mail"...
A hacker has managed to penetrate one of the Pentagon's e-mail systems, leading officials to take up to 1,500 accounts offline.
...
Asked if his own e-mail account was affected, Mr Gates said: "I don't do e-mail. I'm a low-tech person."
Is it just that US Defense Secretary Robert Gates has an overdose of bravado, or does it simply prove how irrelevant he is in today's world?
How does he exist as US Defense Secretary without utilizing e-mail to communicate?
It's one more symptom of an American defense establishment woefully out of touch.
