Link sought between Garrido and series of killings

Law enforcement officials are looking for a link between Phillip Craig Garrido, accused of abducting Jaycee Lee Dugard in 1991 and holding her for 18 years, and series of prostitute killings in the early 1990s.

"Pittsburg police this morning have sealed off the house in Antioch to investigate potential connection between a series of murders of prostitutes in the Bay Area in the early 1990," Contra Costa County Sheriff's Capt. Daniel Terry told The Sacramento Bee.

Several bodies were found in an industrial location where Phillip Garrido supposedly worked, Terry said.

Just peeking in to say hi! 

           

 

    Hi QM.         Trimm, I saw that about the internet. I am overwhelmed with everything.

Craziness.That's all I can say.I told hubby something bad is gonna happen if things don't slow down.

I'm shell shocked with everything. Like I just said on Jaycee's thread, I hope her family sues this da_n state for all their blunders. And Arnie wants to release all these prisoners, maybe he can release them in his own neck of the woods, not mine.

Cute.   You always made me smile with your animations and pictures and such.   When you found my avi for me - well, I was so pissed that day and you posted that cat getting a bath by a monkey -  and all I could do was laugh.   (IIRC, I was pissed at Dolce - that is when she implied I was narrow-minded because I thought GA's suicide attempt was bogus from the go-get).  LOL.

You should hang out with us more often QM.        Northern Rose posts some really cool pictures, too.  CC and Tevye keep us laughing.     We have cool DJs posting music.   JSM is our hostess.     Its a party in here all the time. 

[trimmonthelake]

Now there are men gathering in my yard.I think it's the "pre-prayer meeting"as they call it.  They need to move on down to the big shop.   

[Sassycat]

I'm warming up now.   

And Trimm has cool pictures, too.    And she's keeps us updated on the latest news!

Senate Bill Would Give President Emergency Control of Internet
Details of a revamped version of the Cybersecurity Act of 2009 show the Senate bill could give the president a "kill switch" on the Internet and allow him to shut out private networks from online access.

Friday, August 28, 2009
A Senate bill would offer President Obama emergency control of the Internet and may give him a "kill switch" to shut down online traffic by seizing private networks -- a move cybersecurity experts worry will choke off industry and civil liberties.

Details of a revamped version of the Cybersecurity Act of 2009 emerged late Thursday, months after an initial version authored by Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.V., was blasted in Silicon Valley as dangerous government intrusion.

"In the original bill they empowered the president to essentially turn off the Internet in the case of a 'cyber-emergency,' which they didn't define," said Larry Clinton, president of the Internet Security Alliance, which represents the telecommunications industry.

"We think it's a very bad idea ... to put in legislation," he told FOXNews.com.

Clinton said the new version of the bill that surfaced this week is improved from its first draft, but troubling language that was removed was replaced by vague language that could still offer the same powers to the president in case of an emergency.
"The current language is so unclear that we can't be confident that the changes have actually been made," he said.

The new legislation allows the president to "declare a cybersecurity emergency" relating to "non-governmental" computer networks and make a plan to respond to the danger, according to an excerpt published online -- a broad license that rights experts worry would give the president "amorphous powers" over private users.

"As soon as you're saying that the federal government is going to be exercising this kind of power over private networks, it's going to be a really big issue," Lee Tien, a senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told CNET News.

A Senate source familiar with the bill likened the new power to take control of portions of the Internet to what President Bush did when he grounded all aircraft on Sept. 11, 2001, CNET News reported.

Spokesmen for Senator Rockefeller and the Commerce Committee did not return calls seeking comment before this article was published.
But Rockefeller, who introduced the bill in April with bipartisan support, said the legislation was critical to protecting everything from water and electricity to banking, traffic lights and electronic health records.

"I know the threats we face," Rockefeller said in a prepared statement when the legislation was introduced. "Our enemies are real. They are sophisticated, they are determined and they will not rest."

The bill would also let the government create a detailed set of standards for licensing "cybersecurity professionals" who would oversee a single standard for security measures.

But many in the technology sector believe it's a job the government is ill-equipped to handle, said Franck Journoud, a policy analyst with the Business Software Alliance.

"Simply put, who has the expertise?" he told FOXNews.com in April. "It's the industry, not the government. We have a responsibility to increase and improve security. That responsibility cannot be captured in a government standard."

Clinton, of the Internet Security Alliance, praised President Obama's May science policy review, which he said would take cybersecurity in the right direction by promoting incentives to get the private industry to improve its own security measures.

But he faulted the Senate bill, which he said would centralize regulations for an industry that is too varied to fall under the control of a single set of rules without endangering the economy and security.

"We think a lot of things need to be done to enhance cybersecurity," he told FOXNews.com, but this bill is "not something that we could support."

I have often noticed when the government wants to slip something by us, they cause a big HU-HA over something else to distract us. We are about to lose it all folks. Couple that with the "Fairness Doctrine" the beltway boys want to impose, freedom of speech is right down the drain. I feel the pinch already.

  Aww, thanks Sassy! I'm glad you like the monkey-cat bath avi! I've actually been hanging here more often, just don't have it in me to spend alot of time in the Caylee thread, though I posted today there for the first time in a long time. It seems fun and just more relaxed here. I like not worrying about whether I'm off topic, which often times I am! Atleast I know I won't get myself in trouble over here. I think?
Anyways, Monkeys are fun!!!
