Since when did anyone trust the government (almost *any* national government) to do early detection for non-military events? It is just unrealistic. As a few folks on the NANOG thread point out, a government might be useful in helping step up prevention, but they also might do more harm than good by saying "you should prevent using these mechanisms" and set the bar too low.
Oh, and what does this have to do with ICANN?...

Fair question. The ICANN connection - in my mind, at least - is that just after 9/11, ICANN waved the bloody shirt of security in order to derail discussions that were brewing about its failings. ICANN staff have been known to try to get US government types to enlist it as part of US Internet security efforts, as part of their efforts to entrench ICANN's role.
