We Now Have a National ID Card So Why Not This?

Just got this from the Washington Times:
Former CIA Director George J. Tenet yesterday called for new security measures to guard against attacks on the United States that use the Internet, which he called "a potential Achilles' heel."
"I know that these actions will be controversial in this age when we still think the Internet is a free and open society with no control or accountability," he told an information-technology security conference in Washington, "but ultimately the Wild West must give way to governance and control."
Gee, what could he be talking about?
He said known adversaries, including "intelligence services, military organizations and non-state actors," are researching information attacks against the United States.
Oh, now I know! He means the American people themselves are a threat to the state. This is starting to sound an awful lot like those paranoid Chinese communists I read about in Chinese editions of MSN Spaces censor political terms.
