Barney Frank: Superhero of US online poker? 

According to Reuters News Service, House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank will introduce a bill today to lift a ban on online gambling.

Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat, said he will introduce the legislation on Thursday. Internet gambling in the United States was effectively banned last October when President George W. Bush signed legislation outlawing gaming financial transactions.
