Sen. McCain wants NSA monitoring the global Internet

http://j.mp/xWPxUV  (Wired)

   "McCain and his colleagues oppose the current bill on the grounds that
    it would give the Department of Homeland Security regulatory authority
    over private businesses that own and operate critical infrastructure
    systems and that it doesn't grant the National Security Agency, a
    branch of the Defense Department, any authority to monitor networks in
    real-time to thwart cyberattacks."

Rumor is that McCain's competing legislation will be entitled: 

"Spooks A-Poppin'"
