Smithtown, NY | Why not turn off even more? TV, telephones and internet.
That would stop anything. |

I also think it's a little ironic: many groups out there siding with Chaney that torture is perfectly fine to defend our nation from terrorists. Yet at the same time, give the president power to TEMPORARILY suspend net access to prevent security threats from the Internet and you get the response: "Takes away my nets? Hellz no!"

He already has that power with FEMA and the War Powers Act. Karl needs to learn some laws.  |

While the original bill had some now-removed scary language, the new version simply acts to do things like provide scholarships for promising security researchers -- and doesn't give the President any power he didn't already have.
Am I missing something? |

Am I missing something? Missing a law class or two. |
