Reported months back by infowars and it is only just filtering through to other channels.

They're not much happier about a revised version that aides to Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, have spent months drafting behind closed doors. CNET News has obtained a copy of the 55-page draft of S.773 (<A href="http://www.politechbot.com/docs/rockefeller.revised.cybersecurity.draft.082709.pdf">excerpt</A>), which still appears to permit the president to seize temporary control of private-sector networks during a so-called cybersecurity emergency.
