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'"
