Passing new laws does nothing but give the US government something else they can abuse. Given that they already the have extra-judicial means to pressure corporations, individuals and law enforcement domestic and foreign, what happens when you hand all these tools and new regulations to an administration thats does not want to be found doing something horribly wrong or illegal?
Examples of dirty administration incidents: watergate, Iran contra affair, pentagon papers, etc.

I have no doubt this is what will unfold with the Wikileaks scandal (if you want to call it that).
Everything the U.S. media hypes results in a power grab by big business and big governemnt, all under the guise of "safety" or "security".....
It seems like the political establishment in America really wants to have strict control of the internet, especially if you listen to guys like Joe Lieberman and Jay Rockefeller...
