Tapped points me to this bit in the NYTimes:
The administration has proposed that information that companies voluntarily turn over to the government about the vulnerabilities of critical infrastructure not be subject to public disclosure. It also wants corporate officers to be able to serve as advisers to the department and not be subject to the same screening as permanent government employees. .
Mr. Leahy complained that the department would be able to set up private advisory committees that could operate in secrecy and be "staffed by outside corporate officers with financial interests in the outcome giving recommendations to the new department."
is it okay to say "creeping fascism" now?
