Bush signs directive to monitor internet
 Bush Order Expands Network Monitoring

President Bush signed a directive this month that expands the intelligence community's role in monitoring Internet traffic to protect against a rising number of attacks on federal agencies' computer systems.

The classified joint directive, signed Jan. 8 and called the National Security Presidential Directive 54/Homeland Security Presidential Directive 23, has not been previously disclosed. Plans to expand the NSA's role in cyber-security were reported in the Baltimore Sun in September.

The directive, whose content is classified, authorizes the intelligence agencies, in particular the National Security Agency, to monitor the computer networks of all federal agencies -- including ones they have not previously monitored.

Until now, the government's efforts to protect itself from cyber-attacks -- which run the gamut from hackers to organized crime to foreign governments trying to steal sensitive data -- have been piecemeal. Under the new initiative, a task force headed by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) will coordinate efforts to identify the source of cyber-attacks against government computer systems. As part of that effort, the Department of Homeland Security will work to protect the systems and the Pentagon will devise strategies for counterattacks against the intruders.
...

The NSA has particular expertise in monitoring a vast, complex array of communications systems -- traditionally overseas. The prospect of aiming that power at domestic networks is raising concerns, just as the NSA's role in the government's warrantless domestic-surveillance program has been controversial.

Washington Post

How long has the Internet been around? And, 'we' just noticed cyber-attacks?

Do they even read what they post.............or is it just they see Bush/monitor/internet??

20. They have themselves a rather huge data processing capacity.
 And they are not interested so much in the content of your email etc. as in who you talk to.

18. If gore had been president
 this would have already been done. But it would not be a shadow attempt to spy on the entire internet.Ha! this just shows that they have no idea the resources that would take. Especially when every stupid remark made by a basement dweller is to be looked at and investigated. They have no idea what they are getting into.

19. Bringing the NSA inside the borders to snarf the domestic internets
 is what this is about. Just another nail in the coffin.


Yes another nail in the coffin to those who wish to cyber attack governmental assets.

Let's see the Pentagon has to fend off thousands of cyber attacks and attempts to hack it's e-mail and data bases DAILY...we know that al-Qaeda and other terrorist networks use internet chatrooms to plot future ops...yet these self important pricks can only come up with some CT crap that this kind of bill is all about them?

Let me see if I read it correctly and comprehend what it said:

The new measure takes what is already happening to protect our government computers and makes it more efficient and preventive.  It is a plan to help our nation better deal in the future with our enemies.  This has nothing to do with basement dwelling moonbats who want to post "I hate B*sh" on DemocratUnderground.com.  We, as Americans, should be praising these innovations.

This has been a test.

Just another thread that illustrates in glaring detail all the free speech rights they've lost since Bush became president and had Blackwater blow up the twin towers so he could be king for life.

How telling.

That hate Bush, presumably, because this makes him a fascist dictator.

But if he were a real fascist dictator such comments would land you a life sentence in front of a firing squad (think Cuba, Venezuala, Iran...Iraq before "Bush's War"). Obviously this--and the other similarly situated DUmmies--know full well this is not the case because they lack the stones to challenge real dictators. All they are doing is displaying their cowardice with acts of feigned bravado.
