So what else is new?

Security Experts: CISPA Not Needed, Would Do More Harm than Good (http://www.zerohedge.com/contributed/2012-17-24/security-experts-cispa-not-needed-would-do-more-harm-good)


Torture doesn’t provide any actionable intelligence - it actually reduces the chance that the witness will tell you anything – and yet the government insisted on using it.

Security experts (conservative hawks and liberal doves alike) agree that waging war in the Middle East weakens national security and increases terrorism – see this, this, this, this, this, this and this – but the government insisted on doing it.

For years, many high-level economists and financial experts have said that bailing out the giant banks will make a true economic recovery impossible … but the government keeps bailing them out.

The government tried to pass SOPA – even though security experts said it would harm Internet security.

Now – after the defeat of SOPA – boneheads in Congress are doing it again … trying to ram through the CISPA bill which would do nothing useful, and would more or less destroy all privacy in the U.S.*
[...]
* The government is destroying our privacy anyway. But CISPA would codify it in law.

There aren't enough threads about CISPA. Someone needs to flood the forum.

Not just the Forum, the entire internet. And the phone lines from calls from concerned people to their representatives.
