Central Intelligence Agency director Leon Panetta would make an excellent secretary of defense in part due to his appreciation for the urgency of protecting the nation's computer networks, according to a House Democrat vocal on cybersecurity issues. Rep Jim Langevin (D-RI) praised President Obama's plans to nominate Panetta to lead the Pentagon and Gen. David Petraeus to succeed him at the CIA. Rep Langevin introduced a comprehensive cybersecurity bill in the House last month as Senate Democrats promised to reopen the debate in the coming months.
