Summary: High minded lawmakers who do not understand the domain name system or how domain names work, want to chase terrorists to any country but the US where they are harder to monitor and police. This is the old "Make your competitors stronger and isolate yourself" play from touchdown’s Sunday football playbook. It unwittingly lends support to those folks that want to move ICANN to Switzerland or transfer Internet control and oversight to the UN. At best this is a symbolic "good idea gone bad". At worst this is a waste of taxpayer resources and the creation of a hollow law that sends the wrong message to friends and allies.
