yeah, but they can't actually do it. they're no more capable of shutting down the internet than they are of shutting down the sun. they can't even shut down wikileaks, and they think they're going to be capable of shutting down the whole internet? really the most they could do is cut themselves (the u.s. government) off from the rest of the world while everyone else in the country would find ways to connect, like the wifi connection i've got set up across the border to canada.
