U.S. Senator: Cyber security bill unlikely to pass this year

article published on 30 October, 2010

United States Senators have said it is unlikely that Cyber security legislation will pass this year as the 111th Congress comes to an end. Recognizing that critical infrastructure of the United States depends on computer and network systems, legislators are debating what powers should be given to the U.S. President to respond to, and handle situations such as cyber attacks.

Any delays would be a wonderful thing..."security" is the excuse that they use every time they steal our rights.

The proof is in the bill itself...the president has neither the skills nor the intel to use it for security...only for censorship.

KillerBug... Come on man shut up and drink the Kool-aid, you won't care any longer :) But seriously, i agree with you and possibly i'm alone (i doubt it) but echos of George Oswell's 1984 starts coming to mind, sure we don't stand screaming a screen during hate time... But the government is working away out our rights and privacy... While I think currently it isn't the government per sa that are in control but large corporations telling legislators what they want... I think eventually power will fully transition from governments to the corporations...

Since the beginning of time. In US history, land speculators got hawks promoted into positions of power so that we were more likely to go to war with the native Americans. They made fortunes selling 'Indian' land to the public.

The Surgeon General was removed from office at about the time of the CW. He had run tests on medicine containing mercury the army was using. The testes showed a patient was 5 times more likely to DIE if given the proscribed medicine than if no medicine was administered. He had the Army stop buying and using the medicine. That was the end of him. They used that medicine all through the CW. I suspect the US is less corrupt than the rest of the world but not by much.

Yes, something like that. I must have hit 2 keys and didn't notice it.
