The Middle East is set aflame by war, genocide, and unspeakable atrocities. Millions of refugees are making their arduous way to the north and the west in the hope for safety. Hordes of them have found safe haven in Europe.
Meanwhile, many Americans are succumbing to hysteria, demanding we seal the borders lest a terrorist sneak in, posing as a refugee. Politicians, instead of providing the calming solace of true leaders, encourage such hysteria, and a number of governors have rejected the idea of welcoming refugees to their states altogether.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A proposed law meant to encourage companies to share information about cyberthreats with the U.S. government includes measures that could significantly limit what details, if any, the public can review about the program through federal and state public records laws.
The legislation — already passed in both houses of Congress but not yet finalized — would keep secret any information a company hands over to the Obama administration under a new cybersecurity agreement, including specifics the firms decide themselves shouldn't be disclosed. It's not clear whether that secrecy would extend to learning whether particular companies are even participating.
