Neither the Government nor the private sector can capably protect their systems and networks without extensive and close cooperation.

What this shows me... is our defense is terrible, and we don't have any consequences.
We need to up that defense. We need to share information so that DHS can do the job that I believe it is there for.
We see this as two roles: defend the Nation and protect our civil liberties and privacy.
Great harm has already been done by opening this up, and the consequence I believe is our security is jeopardized.
Some of these are still going to be classified and should be because if we tell the terrorists every way that we are going to track them, they will get through and Americans will die.
Our country is extremely vulnerable, and those of us who have been briefed in classified settings on both offensive and defensive cyber understand the capability of this tool now.
