I don't understand these posts.
If some enemy country, or organized group, starts causing major shit over the internet (ie takes control of our military computers, nuclear plants, banking system, etc.) we may very well need to shut shit down briefly, to sort stuff out, for our own good. Granted, it is an extreme move, but if this safeguard mechanism is sensible, and restricted only for huge and verified worst-case scenarios, why all the paranoia?
Why is everyone acting like Bush just passed a multi-hundred page patriotic act of some sort, that was instantly approved, even though almost none of our elected officials bothered to read it before signing it?
Go figure...
