Secret Copyright Treaty? Seriously?

The internet chapter of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, a secret copyright treaty whose text Obama’s administration refused to disclose due to “national security” concerns, has leaked.

Is this for real?? This link looks a little more credible.

How ironic that Obama is doing a better job at secretive policy making than Bush. Except that he is putting it in treaties so that it can never be repealed.

Ok, that sounds like biased political rhetoric. So, I digress. Is it disturbing that the president that is supposed to be about transparency in governance is secretly outlawing the social media that got him elected.? Pitiful.
