Taken to its logical conclusion
Well if all governments insisted that their IT is entirely trustworthy, they'd all insist on using software and hardware that is either designed and fabricated within their own borders or entirely open source. So Europe is going to have to build some fabs and just about everyone is going to have to start using a flavour of 'nix. (Even the US can't trust Windows as long as there are closed source device drivers and admin-level software involved.)
But try telling that to a typical politician and they just come up with a half-hearted response like this. She should grow a back-bone and insist on a fully trusted platform.
(I'd add a penguin icon, but I don't want to offend the BSD fans.)
