In fact, some of the protests occuring Monday are taking place at DoJ buildings. On Friday, a cypherpunk and a 2600 member crashed Ashcroft's press conference at Versign, and put copies of the EFF's letter to Ashcroft into the hands of nearly all of the reporters present. The DoJ is not being ignored. As for the organized mass rallies, Adobe is first on the protest list, however, since it is clear that they are behind the FBI and DoJ's actions. And, if Adobe were to withdraw its complaint, it is likely that charges would be dropped and Dmitry freed. If Adobe withdraws its complaint and Dmitry is not returned to his family, we will turn our attention full-force toward the DoJ. "There is perhaps nothing quite as distressing as the unintended consequences of well-intentioned government." --Ashcroft.

G8, issues, and familiarity
by Jim Choate 21 Jul '01

21 Jul '01

CNN's poll is asking "Are you familiar with the issues behind the G8 summit". 58% said "No". Perhaps the protesting will help motivate more to educate themselves. -- ____________________________________________________________________ Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night: God said, "Let Tesla be", and all was light.

Re: Kirkland police files, Jim Bell, cryptome, etc. Basically a lawyer gives the addresses of two police witnesses and gets off scott free. Well, a lil' fine from his guild. Are lawyers special objects now? http://latimes.com/news/local/la-000059505jul21.story LOS ANGELES Judge Dismisses Charges Against Olson Attorney By ANNA GORMAN, TIMES STAFF WRITER A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge dismissed criminal charges Friday against Tony Serra, a defense attorney in the bomb conspiracy trial of alleged Symbionese Liberation Army member Sara Jane Olson. Serra had faced trial on misdemeanor charges that he disclosed the addresses and phone numbers of two police witnesses in a court document for Olson's upcoming case. He was scheduled to be tried July 30. The Los Angeles city attorney's office moved to drop the case after Serra agreed to pay $5,000 to the Police Memorial Foundation, <snip>

M.E. is too conservative. Our psych-history-simulations reveal that you'will make a point by using the specific term "kidnapping", as in, Adobe Kidnapped Dmitri or Adobe Kidnaps Fair Use. .......
