I don't understand how your last graf connects to your first.

Start here: packet captures and netflow traces from operational military networks are a textbook definition of something that reasonably should default to "classified".

So then the fact that CISPA preempts classification is the mechanism by which it crafts the exception allowing that stuff to be published. The law says "you can keep classifying secops data on military networks, but when you come across material that would be valuable to the public if sent to a clearinghouse, CISPA preempts classification".

How is that not a sensible measure? And in context, isn't it clear that preempting things like classified disclosure laws is just a pragmatic measure, since reforming all of classification is a huge can of worms, and not some sinister attempt to create a backdoor wiretapping mechanism?
