Ent. CIA -johtaja: Yhdysvaltain presidentille lupa sulkea internet?

 Ihmettelen vain ettei kyseistä "lupaa" vielä ole?
 No, sulkeminenhan sinänsä on ymmerrettävää, jos siihen vain on oikeat ja todelliset syyt. Mikään pikkujuttuhan se ei ole sillä voi vain kuvitella miten koko yhteiskunta toimisi sulkemisen jälkeen...

"U.S. should be able to shut Internet, former CIA chief says

SAN ANTONIO (Reuters) - Cyberterrorism is such a threat that the U.S. president should have the authority to shut down the Internet in the event of an attack, Former CIA Director Michael Hayden said.

Hayden made the comments during a visit to San Antonio where he was meeting with military and civilian officials to discuss cyber security. The U.S. military has a new Cyber Command which is to begin operations on October 1.

Hayden said the president currently does not have the authority to shut down the Internet in an emergency .
 "My personal view is that it is probably wise to legislate some authority to the President, to take emergency measures for limited periods of time, with clear reporting to Congress, when he feels as if he has to take these measures," he said in an interview on the weekend."
