First, Defense Secretary Robert Gates admits that he's a "very low-tech person." Now, President Bush acknowledges that he has a thing or two to learn about computer security. Here he is speaking about his meeting with Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves at the White House Monday:
"We also talked about an interesting subject, and one that I can learn a lot about, and that is the cyber attack that makes us all vulnerable. Estonia recently went through a wave of cyber attacks. And this President, one, understands the issue well; two, has got some ideas, including a NATO center of excellence in Estonia to deal with this issue."
