EDIT: Please disregard. It showed up again with a slightly different title and I can see it.

This article showed up in my feed reader but when went to sott.net to read the whole thing it says "Article not found". I'm notifying in case there is some glitch. Or maybe it was retracted?

Internet companies and civil liberties groups were alarmed this spring when a U.S. Senate bill proposed handing the White House the power to disconnect private-sector computers from the Internet. 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 (excerpt), which still appears to permit the president to seize temporary control of private-sector networks during a so-called cybersecurity emergency.
