United States Senator John McCain (R-AZ) has called on Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to support the development of a “Temporary Select Committee on Cyber Security and Electronic Intelligence Leaks in the United States Senate” to overcome competing jurisdictions and bureaucracy associated with currently existing committees and groups. In his letter, Senator McCain evoked quoted current US Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta “The next Pearl Harbor we confront could very well be a cyber attack…” McCain’s “Call to Committee” drew a quick response from Senators Joe Lieberman and Susan Collins who called his proposal “… a real mistake and a waste of time…” which would dismantle supposed progress that has been made in recent years by other committees, task forces and other groups.
