[Commentary] Ten years after 9/11, the United States has yet to get serious about cybersecurity. That is a sad, sad reality. The Obama administration laid out plans this week to make the Internet more secure and ensure that people around the world have the freedom to express themselves online. To which we can only say: Better late than never. Osama bin Laden is dead, but the threats of 2001 persist, and the potential for Internet attacks has grown. The international community must put a higher priority on reducing the risk of cyberattacks. At least President Barack Obama is thinking in those terms.
