Cyber security bill promotes sharing of threat data
Washington (CNN) - Legislation introduced in the House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday is designed to knock down the barriers that interfere with the federal government and the private sector sharing critical information about cybersecurity threats.
The bill would enable the intelligence community to share classified information with the private sector while at the same time addressing the concerns private companies have with providing information about attacks on their systems to the government.

Is this the Protect IP bill that censors the internet?
Wasn't this type of legislation (allowing unclassified people access to classified data) responsible for that whole "wikileaks" episode?
Of course, the MSM, ever enamored with the creeping fascism instigated by the Dubya mis-adminitration, is ignoring the real story here: a bill that just passd the Senate and would allow indefinite detention OF AMERICAN CITIZENS. Obama is threatening to veto it. Orwell was only off by about a quarter century.

Ok Sniffit, you always want others to post facts, now it's your turn. Furthermore, explain how that deals with sharing critical information about cyber security threats?
@ Rudy,
So what do you propose they should do then? Just not share any information at all and hope that nothing bad happens? This information needs to be shared, although it certainly needs to be done in a way where there is no room for error.
