The U.S. Congress is considering legislation entitled Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act of 2010. There is a version in the House and Senate. The Senates is moving along, sponsored by Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and is cosponsored by Republican Susan Collins (R-ME). This proposed bill is intended to protect U.S. citizens from cyber attacks, but I argue that is intended to partially scare citizens and is littered with flaws.
Largely, I find Jeffrey Carrs summary of Forbes.com to be accurate. The bill creates the White House Office for Cyberspace Policy and a National Center for Cyber-security and Communications. These agencies would be dedicated to protect the Internet in the United States. Do we really need a dedicated government office for this?

They may say “protecting cyberspace” but it’s really about putting a federal tax on transactions and fining and jailing people who criticize congressjerks for their stupid actions.
