"Another idea that's already been rejected that I think we should look at
again is the idea of a closed internet," [Richard] Clarke said. "Why should
the part of the internet that's connected to the power grid be open? Why
should that part of the internet that runs nuclear laboratories be open?
Why shouldn't there be a closed internet? There are already relatively
closed internets - and now we need to think seriously about expanding
them."

Several years ago, when Clarke suggested the idea to Vint Cerf, the
internet founding father had a fit. "[He] implied he was putting together a
firing squad to take me out," Clarke said.
