Well isn't that just precious

A “cyber attack” forced the Pentagon recently to disconnect some 1,500 of its computers from the internet, says this report from Time.

When asked if his own e-mail account was affected, Gates revealed, “I don't do e-mail. I'm a very low-tech person.”

So here's this guy, Gates, heading the most high-tech military establishment on the planet - ever - and he's into this cutesy old-timey act? Ain't that sweet? Rummy couldn't have done it any better.

Are these guys really idiots or do they just play idiots on TV?

Of course if he'd said he doesn't do email because all the Pentagon's email systems have been hacked, well, that'd be another matter. “It's actually a fairly serious matter,” some CNN guy says.
