The limited purpose of the subpoena is to have you review two of your published articles, acknowledge your authorship, review several of the statements which you attributed to Bell in your articles, and have you verify that he in fact told you those things. That's all. We're only interested in having you testify about statements of his that you published. If your subpoena could have been avoided, it would have been. Unfortunately, the Federal Rules of Evidence do not permit a news article to be admitted into evidence for these purposes unless the person who wrote it can attest to its authorship and the accuracy of its content. This must be done in open court, at trial, and cannot be accomplished by affidavit, unless the defendant is willing to stipulate that your appearance can be avoided and that your articles can be admitted into evidence wit! hout your appearance as a foundation witness. Mr. Bell is not interested in any such stipulations. I regret any inconvenience that a trip to Tacoma may cause. > > I am extremely sensitive to the intrusiveness of any subpoena and the potential negative impact that press subpoenas can have on the news gathering function.

>It was a polite and reasonable post. I think it's cool that he did >that, and what he said makes sense. Now I guess I'm an assistant >attorney apologist apologist.... While the message used polite words, its implications and usage was not polite, especially in the context of threats made to Adam Ciralsky, a 60 Minutes reporter re a subpoena for his notes if the reporter continued to ask questions about the upcoming trial, and especially not in its implications for other cypherpunks who might be interested in talking to the press - or on the list - regarding CJ, JB, or AP. (see <http://cryptome.org/jdb- doj-cbs.htm>) The message is clear - if you monkey around with this stuff, expect to be dragged across the country a few times on short notice, threatened with perjury or other charges, and otherwise intimidated and inconvenienced until you stop thinking and talking about feds who get promotions and publicity by prosecuting an itinerant musician/author living out of his pickup truck and a 40-year old man who still lives with his parents and plays with stink bombs.

SF Bay Area Cypherpunks March 2001 Physical Meeting Announcement General Info: DATE: Saturday 8 March 2001 TIME: 12:00 - 5:30 PM (Pacific Time) PLACE: Alpine Inn (aka Alpine Beer Garden) 3915 Alpine Road, Portola Valley, CA 94028 USA Agenda "Our agenda is a widely-held secret." At Noon, we mill around for a bit: the organized program begins about 1:00 pm. As usual, this is an Open Meeting on US Soil, and everyone's invited. TECHNICAL TRACK .xxx domains and a W-Washington update -- Declan McCullagh Declan will hold forth on his recent work opposing the creation of a .xxx top-level domain. Also, he'll give an update on what 'W' seems to be up to in Washington, vis a vis export, network security, e-commerce, and anything else we can convince him to talk about.

Location Alpine Inn, Portola Valley Just behind Palo Alto toward the ocean. Take the Alpine Road exit off 280 heading away from the flatlands for a few miles until you see Arastradero Rd on your left - and it's right on that corner. For lo these many moons - the flotsam, jetsam, bikers, movers, shakers, VC's and horsemen of the Bay Area have mooted at this historic location. Many a standard (ISO, ANSI, IEEE, RFC, et al) has been hammered out there on the carved up tabletops - lubricated by burgers and beer. We meet at the tables out the back door and to the right. (In case that wasn't clear, it's a BEER GARDEN. Has food too -- burgers, etc.) Location Maps: http://yp9.superpages.com/listings.phtml?SRC=&STYPE=S&PG=L&R=N&C=&N=alpine+… If you have questions, comments or last-minute agenda requests, please contact the meeting organizer/victim: Rodney Thayer rodney(a)tillerman.to +1 408 757 9693
