NYT: O'Connor Foresees Limits on Freedom

O'Connor Foresees Limits on Freedom By LINDA GREENHOUSE Describing herself as "still tearful" after viewing the World Trade Center site, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor told a law school audience in Manhattan yesterday that as part of the country's response to terrorism, "we're likely to experience more restrictions on our personal freedom than has ever been the case in our country." Lawyers have a special duty to work to maintain the rule of law in the face of terrorism, Justice O'Connor said, adding in a quotation from Margaret Thatcher, the former British prime minister: "Where law ends, tyranny begins." Justice O'Connor, who was on an official visit to India when the terrorist attacks took place on Sept. 11, was the first Supreme Court justice to speak publicly about the events and their possible legal consequences. She was the main speaker at the groundbreaking for a law school building at New York University in Greenwich Village. Her brief remarks emphasized the need to proceed with care in the aftermath of a national trauma that she said "will cause us to re-examine some of our laws pertaining to criminal surveillance, wiretapping, immigration and so on." Lawyers would play an important role in striking the right balance, she said, adding, "Lawyers and academics will help define how to maintain a fair and a just society with a strong rule of law at a time when many are more concerned with safety and a measure of vengeance." Justice O'Connor did not offer an analysis of any particular proposal, instead observing that "no single response is appropriate for every situation." Referring to the prospect that military deployments overseas rather than domestic prosecutions will be a principal means of bringing terrorists to justice, she said: "It is possible, if not likely, that we will rely more on international rules of war than on our cherished constitutional standards for criminal prosecutions in responding to threats to our national security." Justice O'Connor posed a series of questions at the ceremony: "First, can a society that prides itself on equality before the law treat terrorists differently than ordinary criminals? And where do we draw the line between them? Second, at what point does the cost to civil liberties from legislation designed to prevent terrorism outweigh the added security that that legislation provides?" Without answering the questions herself, she concluded: "These are tough questions, and they're going to require a great deal of study, goodwill and expertise to resolve them. And in the years to come, it will become clear that the need for lawyers does not diminish in times of crisis; it only increases." Justice O'Connor, who grew up in Arizona, said her visit to New York and the trade center site had changed her image of a city she and her husband, John, had considered "harsh, brash, brassy, tough." Now, she said, "there is a new spirit here and it's one of warmth, solidarity, humanity and determination that we have not witnessed before." She added: "It's very noticeable and very moving."

Public safety agencies urge quick rollout of wireless location services
by Steve Schear 29 Sep '01

29 Sep '01

[Two approaches have been approved by the FCC: cell station based and subscriber unit based. The subscriber solution (e.g., GPS or triangulation from synchronized broadcast TV color-burst) is much preferred as it places control of the handset and therefore, possibly, the end user. If the end user does get control it would enable interesting applications (e.g., location escrow authenticated by an imbedded tamper-proof smart chip which could be encrypted to a user key within the phone).] Public safety agencies urge quick rollout of wireless location services By BOB BREWIN (September 27, 2001) With a Monday deadline looming, three national public safety organizations want the Federal Communications Commission to stop granting waivers and extensions to cellular communications companies that would allow them to miss the long-mandated start date for E911 wireless location services. The agencies said the FCC should hit carriers that miss the deadline with "serious penalties" for noncompliance. The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the U.S. -- and the heavy use of cellular networks by the public and rescue workers, including jury-rigged automatic location systems in New York -- make it difficult for the FCC to grant new waivers for a system that it first envisioned in 1996, said Jim Goerke, wireless implementation director at the National Emergency Number Association in Columbus, Ohio. The Sept. 11 attacks have helped focus attention on the importance of wireless emergency contact information, Goerke said, adding, "[The cellular carriers] have had a lot of time to get this together." While the FCC hasn't indicated how it will act, analysts expect it to take a strong stand. The chances of continued leniency by the commission "are about equal to everyone being a winner in Las Vegas," said Alan Reiter, an analyst at Wireless Internet & Mobile Computing in Chevy Chase, Md. The technology isn't perfect, but it does exist, said Reiter. The cellular industry has been engaged in "legal stalling," a tactic that won't work in the postattack world, he said.

Bruce conveyed that a congressman was very instrumental in helping restore flight waivers for rocketry. Bruce also mentioned that individuals at the highest levels of military warned that if ANY rockets are launched inside the continental U.S. without proper waivers the FAA restrictions on rocket flying will be reinstated. Both Tripoli and Rocketry Online STRONGLY encourages all rocket fliers to abide very closely to FAA requirements for all rocket flights.

Reuters fuckwits: US ... Ready to Give Up Civil Rights
by citizenq＠hushmail.com 29 Sep '01

29 Sep '01

http://reuters.com/news_article.jhtml?type=topnews&StoryID=253351 "The survey showed that between 69 percent and 95 percent of respondents favored granting police additional powers to tap telephones or intercept voice mail or e-mail, as well as to hold foreign terrorist suspects indefinitely. 'One sacrifice Americans said they are willing to make is in their civil liberties,' the newspaper said." NO NO NO ---- 69% to 95% (what the fuck does that mean? Junior-high school students couldn't get away with that kind of 'statistics' nonsense) of Americans are ready to give up OTHER people's civil liberties, since they themselves have nothing in their brains that anyone could possible be interested in. They obviously have no concerns about wiretapping, or holding "foreign terror suspects" because all they do is sit around and watch AOL and Disney-TV.

Canada's justice minister preparing bill to limit encryption
by Declan McCullagh 29 Sep '01

29 Sep '01

[This article no longer appears to be online, but I've verified that the below excerpt is accurate. --DBM] ******** Montreal Gazette September 25, 2001 Tuesday Page 14 Ottawa to try to freeze terrorist funds: Tougher rules and changes to criminal code expected to make it easier to track monies By ELIZABETH THOMPSON OTTAWA -- Canada will move to follow the American lead and shut down funding for terrorists, Secretary of State for International Financial Institutions Jim Peterson said yesterday. [...] Peterson said the government plans to adopt tough new weapons to combat the financing of terrorism, possibly through an omnibus bill. Among the possible measures is extending the system that combats money-laundering to tracking terrorist funds, he said. While Peterson said the new rules are almost ready and should be introduced soon, neither he nor Justice Minister Anne McLellan could pinpoint a date. [...] McLellan said the legislation she is preparing will also deal with such issues as lawful access, encryption, decryption and electronic surveillance. [...] McLellan said she will meet with a number of European counterparts today and U.S counterparts next week to try to co-ordinate Canada's legislation with theirs. [...]

Soldi in maniera legale con il condono.
by ANSTAV - agenzia stampa 29 Sep '01

29 Sep '01

Commento di Ulderico Pervertin all'ANSTAV. Caro cypherpunks(a)toad.com ANCHE TU PUOI DIVENTARE MILIARDARIO Mi sono messo a pensare come fare a diventare ricco restando tutti uguali di fronte alla legge. L'unica soluzione che ho trovato è quella di telefonare subito al commercialista e ORDINARGLI: "FALSIFICAMI IL BILANCIO DELLA AZIENDA SUBITO!!!!!!" fra poche ore infatti, i ladri che hanno falsificato i bilanci aziendali, ladri che hanno evaso le tasse truffando il fisco e facendo pagare le tasse agli altri cittadini onesti, e anche coloro che hanno corrotto poi giudici e poliziotti che indagavano, per rallentare i processi, ora SI AUTOASSOLVONO: FRA POCHE ORE SARANNO CANCELLATI I REATI DAL PARLAMENTO !!!!!! Il Condono partirà dal momento della pubblicazione della legge (domani?). cypherpunks(a)toad.com ANCHE TU PUOI DIVENTARE MILIARDARIO SE CHIAMI SUBITO IL TUO COMMERCIALISTA E GLI ORDINI DI FARE UN REATO FISCALE DI FALSO IN BILANCIO PER TE, POTRESTI ESSERE SUBITO CONDONATO. Per stare sicuro, il commercialista può falsificare i registri indietro nel tempo, è un falso in bilancio di allora e nessuno lo saprebbe. Questa è l'unica uguaglianza di fronte alla legge che si può avere in italia: fare come i ladri che si AUTOASSOLVONO? SVEGLIATI! In italia è impossibile arrestare i ladri ed i mafiosi,essi sono al governo, e falsificano anche le elezioni per andarci (credi ancora alla balla che siamo una nazione democratica? HA! HA! ). Questo stato è nato da una associazione massonica: perché dovrebbe cambiare? SVEGLIAA!!! Secondo il libro "la repubblica delle banane" di P.Gomez, Berlusconi è un ladro, che ricicla denaro, ha corrotto giudici e finanzieri, evaso le tasse, falsificato i bilanci delle proprie società con l'apporto di molte centinaia di persone. Sono le sentenze dei giudici che lo dicono, ma TUTTO è andato in prescrizione. E ladrate simili hanno fatto Prodi, D'Alema, Bossi ecc CE N'E' PER TUTTI ora questi sono al governo (e parlamento) e fanno le stesse cose cancellando le prove dei reati che fecero. FRA POCHE ORE CANCELLATI I REATI DAL PARLAMENTO !!!!!! anche con l'aiuto di ALLEANZA NAZIONALE e RIFONDAZIONE COMUNISTA. Ora che i ladri sono al governo e la mafia controlla lo stato ed anche i servizi segreti (ma quanti siciliani ci sono nello stato?), per diventare tutti uguali alla legge non resta che rubare tutti insieme. SE CHIAMI SUBITO IL TUO COMMERCIALISTA E GLI ORDINI DI FARE UN REATO FISCALE DI FALSO IN BILANCIO PER TE, SARAI SUBITO CONDONATO. Con i molti miliardi che si possono recuperare con un piccolo falso in bilancio, si può smettere di lavorare, ritirarsi in qualche isola pacifica (o atlantica) piena di sole e libertà. Se proprio vuoi, chiedi ad una azienda estera di fare tutto per te, cerca in internet con le parole "OFFSHORE BANKING OFF-SHORE COMPANY INCORPORATION ASSET PROTECTION DISCRETIONARY TRUSTS TAX HAVENS " cypherpunks(a)toad.com SII COERENTE E NON ESSERE PECORONE COME GLI ALTRI!! Che tu faccia o meno il falso in bilancio, fra poche ore sarai "pulito" in ogni caso, sarai Santo come i ladri. Se non vuoi fare il falso in bilancio come tutti quei potenti d'Italia, che lo hanno fatto e tante volte, almeno rifiuta questa omologazione di santi e ladri, e scrivi a CIAMPI AZZELIO perché, questa volta, NON SALVI BERLUSCONI, COME LO SALVO' DAL CRACK FINANZIARIO NEL 1996 mistero principale per cui Ciampi è chiamato presidente CIAMPI RESPINGA LA LEGGE PERCHE' CONTRARIA AL DIRITTO DI UGUAGLIANZA DI FRONTE ALLA LEGGE E CONTRO I DIRITTI UMANI DI GIUSTIZIA Se non lo farà dimostrerà di essere un cospiratore contro la nazione, e tutti i discorsi nazionalisti che fa saranno la dimostrazione che egli ci inganna ed è parte di quelle trame come ai tempi dell'Omicidio AMBROSOLI. Se ti va scrivi a CIAMPI AZZELIO <presidenza.repubblica(a)quirinale.it> Oppure invia un fax al 0646993125 (POPOLO DEI FAX..marameo!!) o scrivi a Ciampi Azzelio c/o Presidenza Della Repubblica Italiana P. Del Quirinale, 41 - 00187 Roma (RM) Oppure telefona e parlagli(HA! HA!) TEL: 0646991 ( 10 linee) Sii parte della civiltà superiore che punisce le ingiustizie e rispetta i giusti. Mi raccomando pace agli uomini di buona volontà! (vangelo) Ti ho scritto come era giusto, perché ci spero ancora, ma non ci credo più. Quindi ora telefono al mio consulente fiscale, come faranno solo i realisti che ricevono questa lettera. Domani sarò più ricco, e CONDONATO, ma quei soldi li spenderò per fare altro bene, invece di darli ai mafiosi al governo, piuttosto li regalo ai più bisognosi che conosco, direttamente. E che vada in crack lo stato, me ne sbatto, tanto è pieno di ladri ed io non li voglio finanziare più. Mettiti in pace con il bene: spedisci fax e email per 1 ora, e poi chiama un consulente fiscale, magari in svizzera. E non pagare più il male! PS: queste notizie servono anche a chi falsifica i bilanci di enti pubblici U.P. 1001733202
