Boehner: White House Wants to Create Cybersecurity 'Monster'
Source: Broadcasting and Cable
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Thursday that the White House wants to create a cybersecurity "monster" to run roughshod over the Internet.
Asked at a press conference to respond to the White House veto threat of the Republican (and cable operator) backed Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), Boehner said: "The White House believes the government ought to control the Internet."
