POGO and partners say cybersecurity bill is flawed

The Cybersecurity Act of 2012, being rushed through Congress (some say to avoid another SOPA/PIPA social media uprising),  includes “unnecessary, overbroad and unwise limitations to access of information, including broad exemptions to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)” and “jeopardize the rights of whistleblowers.”

Project on Government Oversight, American Society of News Editors and others have protested in a letter to Senate leadership.

JAMES WRIGHT FOLEY
1973-2014

"We have never been prouder of our son Jim. He gave his life trying to expose the world to the suffering of the Syrian people. . . .We thank Jim for all the joy he gave us. He was an extraordinary son, brother, journalist and person."
      -- Jim's mother, Diane Foley, on Aug. 19, 2014

"Our Medill family is shocked and deeply saddened by the news of the murder of Jim Foley. He was a courageous reporter who risked his life repeatedly to seek the truth around the world. Jim endures for us as a beacon reminding us of the risks implicit in shedding light where inhumanity can take hold."
      -- Medill Dean Brad Hamm (Foley was a Medill graduate)
