Kerrey's effort has one thing in common with the
SAFE Act: It calls for the creation of an Information
Security Board. The board proposal caused some
privacy watchdogs to pull their endorsements of
SAFE because it wouldn't have to comply with
federal open-meeting act.
Since a common hand has presumably been at work in both bills,
this looks like good cop / bad cop to me.
The good cop says, "I am your friend"
He is not your friend.
Create a federal board, and it will exercise power.
