This upcoming week (4/23-4/27) has been dubbed cybersecurity week.  That's because CISPA is going to makes its way to the floor of the House.  Expect a lot more coverage of the bill, with about 500 more articles poorly explaining how it eviscerates your privacy rights.

If you're looking for a quick overview of the debate, Richard Lardner and Donna Cassata wrote one for the Huffington Post: 

What does each side want?

Republicans fear strict cybersecurity standards for businesses.

Democrats (including the Obama administration) want cybersecurity standards for critical infrastructure.

Both sides want some form of information-sharing.

Civil liberties groups hate the information-sharing provisions because they feel they are too broad and may allow private companies to hand over your e-mails to the NSA.
