Draft book on European data privacy law
by Peter Swire 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Greetings: Although not specifically on crypto, we have a draft book on my web site that might be of interest to readers of the list. The book will be published by the Brookings Institution in 1998, and is entitled "None of Your Business: World Data Flows, Electronic Commerce, and the European Privacy Directive." The focus of the book is on the effect of the European Data Protection Directive, which goes into effect in October 1998. The book is available from www.osu.edu/units/law/swire.htm. I've been around this list long enough to know how much many contributors hate laws and regulations that govern how data is supposed to flow from one place to another. The European privacy laws are real and quite stringent in many respects, so you may, despite your visceral distaste, want to learn more about them. Of particular interest to people here may be Chapter Four: "The Tension Between Data Protection and Modern Information Technologies." I am already aware of a couple of glitches in the draft, such as the definition of an Intranet. But I would be very interested in comments on this or other chapters. To give a sense of the book's coverage, I am enclosing the draft table of contents. Thanks for any comments you may have. I'm doing a big rewrite during the next several weeks. Peter Swire ========================== CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION A. "None of Your Business." B. Some Reasons for Data Protection Laws. C. Overview of the Book. CHAPTER TWO: THE LEGAL CONTEXT [not included in this interim report] A. Comparing the European and American Approaches to Privacy. B. Provisions of the Directive. CHAPTER THREE: PREPARING TO ASSESS THE TRANSBORDER EFFECTS OF THE DIRECTIVE A. Defining the Baselines: What are the Trans-border Effects of the Directive? B. Why What is Legal Under the Directive Matters. CHAPTER FOUR: THE TENSION BETWEEN DATA PROTECTION AND MODERN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES A. Mainframes. 1. Transborder Data Flows. 2. Compliance by Mainframes. 3. Contracts and Codes of Conduct for Mainframes. B. Client/Server Systems, Intranets, and Extranets. 1. Client/Server Architecture. 2. Intranets. 3. Extranets. C.

Warez Transfer -------------- To decrypt the 'wrzs9514.xxx.asc' files with PGP, use the password 'warez'. run 'wrzs9514.bat' to get 'wrzs9514.zip' unzip -------------- Tojohoto, You were right...you *can* tell who they are by the way they knock. They took your computer. (They just want to ask it a few questions.) :> Norton Wipeinfo doesn't run in multitasking so I didn't take time to reboot it. I ran 'delete *.*' in one MS-DOS window and ran a 'copy *.*' command on a large directory in another MS-DOS window. By the time they pulled the plug it had already ripped its own head off and shit down its own neck. I had already made sure your harddrive was badly defragmented so the two commands should have made a good mess. I put a boot&fat sector virus on your hard drive and gave them a bootable floppy disk that has another virus on it. (I told them that the floppy disk in your computer was mine so they gave it to me. Then the guy who gave it to me came back and said he needed to have it back. I gave him a disk and the lamer asked me if it was the same one. Duuhhh...) ;? If anyone on the cypherpunks list liked you, they don't now...sorry. I stayed up all night and sent you the file splitting program that Bianca sent. I know she plays with stuff so I guessed it is probably different than what you could get on the Net so I sent it to the cypherpunks list because I don't know if they are going to come get my computers, too. Berzerkeley said you can get in touch if you need to. You must owe him money, eh? Lost Taos said they don't know you and never have and to come before you call. There is something else but I forgot. Have to go and do weird stuff to my computers and disks. Bye <----> 8" pp - "Don't get any on'ya!" ppp - I messed up the .asc file order because 95 --> 3.1 multiple disk transfer duplicates filenames. The decrypted files should come out right though. I will check after I juryrig my computers.

Why should the operator of the delivery medium be held responsible for the contents of a message? Perhaps the laws are different "down under", but here in the USA anyone can deposit coins in a public telephone and make a phone call without identifying himself. The person can't be identified, and neither can you hold the telephone company responsible for any damages you claim resulted from the call. It's the same with the US Postal Service. You can mail a letter from a public mail box and as long as the proper postage is attached, it will be delivered even if it doesn't have a return address, or if it contains a false return address. But if someone mails you a letter bomb, you can't sue the US Postal Service. So why institute draconian rules to restrict e-mail which are stricter than those for other communications media? I'll reiterate my opinion that such restrictive rules would cripple the usefulness of many currently-available services. I seriously doubt that Hotmail would take on the expense of identifying each of its account holders as well as assuming liability for any that it misidentified, in order to provide a FREE service. In fact, it would impact most ISPs. As long as you pay your monthly access fees on time, most ISPs take you at your word that the name and address you supplied on your application are correct. I would suggest that the recipient of a piece of e-mail should bear the responsibility for authenticating its sender before sending someone money, or taking other action that could potentially incur a financial loss. Transferring that duty to the ISP makes no sense. For one thing, who would you hold responsible? Your own ISP? The one listed in the return address? Even if it's forged? What if the ISP is located in another jurisdiction? - --- Finger <comsec(a)nym.alias.net> for PGP public key (Key ID=19BE8B0D) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3i Charset: noconv iQEVAwUBNJmXHAbp0h8ZvosNAQFC1wf+N7lY2dXQNXt/Wl4MXPR+c2Intr4bG9Xw N7qaKiHRqNszuD55yx5iXhKRgxtbnlBzMuUv3sr800M3kmrXqQJBzeDA/ljcASSU Bi5kBHlpTcASm5H1jhRjRSk0BL+KCuTzmunCSExiB7tD2XNb/qGO+4bpcMdJ2A3z nY7kmNjptt9vZJ3ZSz2l/n7IbplcUXWiRcHeJ4Nwp6ehjYzJX43d5snzhymJhLlK 6paX461Szcn5+3ILgv2JPfMxdG282mY1dSzxpScaHZ1pu0dh3702TlO37A9sfykc 4yAFDDLaCBnidyw0Fz//YGpgNhCYphKDyx1yNF7Aeyni0Kv0YovAtg== =8nzS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Re: Can I do Pubkic Domain that -

Exportability rules are based up the notion that the USA has the best technology (perhaps true) and that non-Americans, such as the notorious Chinese, are too far behind. Whereas the truth is that many countries in the have the necessary technology and have possessed it for a long time. There is absolutely no evidence that the US gov't crypto export rules are impeding drug cartels in the least. So there is a peverse mix cognitive dissonance, xenophobia ("what do those chinks know anyway?!!), and sycophantism (telling the President what he wants to hear).

Much as I agree in principle with counteracting mindless prejudice such as that directed against Jews, and despite the fact that I grew up among Jews and studied with my best friend in grade school when he took his religious lessons, the ADL has zero credibility with me for a very good reason: I had a role in an organization that, while it was populated with a good many bible-thumping Christians, took great care not to encourage, promote or give a platform to voices of unreason. The nature of the organization was political and in no way dealt with religious issues or issues which would find people dividing along any religious or ethnic line. Nonetheless, I was stunned one day to read mention of our organization characterized as "anti-semitic" by the ADL in a national publication. To have provided such erroneous information to the author of the article the ADL either had to have been grossly negligent in its gathering and analysis of facts or had to be pursuing other agenda in using the clout of its pronouncements. I rather think it may have been the latter (the organization was Constitutional and anti-income tax, while the ADL probably harbors more than its share of socialists who bristle at any challenge to the taxing authority of the state). My qualification to judge the ADL's deficiency in this matter was absolute. I had personally written and/or reviewed every piece of literature the organization had published, including newsletters, from its inception. There was no propagation of policy or position with which I was not personally acquainted, and nowhere had the organization ever published anything that could even vaguely be interpreted as anti-semitic. So I regard the ADL with extreme suspicion, not on the vaporous basis of pre-judgement or hearsay but on the solid basis of having been visited with unwarranted and groundless personal damage at their hands, not unlike the small club of people who know the treachery of Sixty Minutes for what it is by personal experience. The ADL does its proclaimed purpose a radical disservice by verging sharply from the straight and narrow that is mandatory in any holier-than-thou endeavor. I would lay down my life for any of a number of my Jewish friends, but I wouldn't give the ADL the time of day even if the Apocalypse were upon us. VeracityMongerII

Freedom Forum report on the State of the First Amendment
by Declan McCullagh 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

On Tuesday I stopped by the Freedom Forum's conference, where they released a report on the state of the First Amendment. It's worth checking out: http://www.freedomforum.org/newsstand/reports/sofa/intro.asp Each day of this nation's life, in meetings of school boards, library boards, city councils, state legislatures, and Congress itself, figures of respect and renown rise on behalf of a supportive public and proclaim, "I believe in the First Amendment, but" Each such announcement precedes a proposal to regulate our speech in order to elevate our lives. And so we have one of the more equisite ironies of a freedom-loving society: Americans truly believe they believe in free speech. Still, there is always that "but," that qualification of their commitment to the rights and values embedded in those 45 words of the First Amendment. In survey after survey, Americans stand steadfast in support of the general notion of free speech. In the particulars, however, we waver. When asked to countenance the very speech the First Amendment was drawn to protectthe speech of the radical, the rascal, even the revoltingwe become unsure. We do believe in free speech for ourselves, but for the most part we are not so sure about others, especially those whose words offend our taste, threaten our children, or challenge our convictions. Also at the conference: http://www.freedomforum.org/first/1997/12/16sofa.asp Keynote speaker Keen Umbehr told the audience that he lost his job, his community and even family and friends during his First Amendment battle with the county commission in Wabaunsee County, Kansas. Umbehr, who had a contract to haul the county's trash, also wrote editorials for the local newspaper, often alleging violations of law and other misconduct by the county commission. "What I wrote was true, and I could back it up," Umbehr said. "I believed that my constitutional rights were live and real, waiting to be activated. I felt that writing articles and speaking out about the government not only was my right, it was my duty to speak the truth, regardless of the fact that my whole livelihood was based on that county contract." The county terminated his contract in retaliation for his articles. Umbehr sued, and the case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. In June 1996 the court upheld Umbehr's free-speech rights. "The troops on the front lines of the First Amendment fight desperately need some help," Umbehr told the audience of attorneys, scholars and experts. "You have the knowledge in here, and they need it out there." -Declan

Rubber-hose proof (cryptographically deniable) file-systems.
by Julian Assange 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Here's a copy of some correspondence in relation to my implementation of a `rubber hose proof' (cryptographically deniable) file system (actually implimented as a block device on which you can mount any file system). I'm happy with the cryptographic strength of the system (but feel free to comment anyway). That said, I'm not convinced that my avoidance of media (i.e disk surface) analysis attacks (which could potentially show the pre-sense or otherwise of cryptographic file systems other than the "duress" ones) is entirely effective. I'd like some comment from gauss-ridden declassification guru's here :) [...] Here's how I'm implementing `aspects' in Rubberhose/marutukku; `aspect' is the term I'm using to refer to the cryptographically-deniable (i.e rubber-hose-proofed) "portion", of a maru extent i.e it's a different _aspect_ (view) of the same underlying physical block extent. I decided that random split lengths don't add to the security of the scheme - only 2x from my calculations - which isn't enough to warrant the increase in memory use and complexity involved. The extent is simply divided up into n splits (say 1024 or one every 256k, whichever is smaller). Each aspect has an encrypted 32bit block remap list (which is simply a linear array because of the fixed split size). A split avoidance bit-map is created from these per-aspect remap lists on instantiation of the aspects. An individual aspect looks like so (when saved): typedef struct { m_u32 keySum; /* key checksum */ u_char masterKey[MAX_KEY]; u_char latticeCipherType, blockCipherType; u_char pad[MAX_BLOCK - (4 + MAX_KEY + 1 + 1) % MAX_BLOCK]; /* block align */ } maruCycle; typedef struct { maruCycle cycle; u_char keySalt[MAX_PASSPHRASE]; maruLatticeKey latticeKeySalt[2]; u_char blockIV[MAX_FS_BLOCK_SIZE]; u_char latticeSalt[2*MAX_LATTICE_DEPTH*MAX_BLOCK_KEY]; /* must be 64 aligned */ m_u32 remap[MAX_SPLITS]; m_u32 iterations; maruCipher keyCipherType; } maruHeaderAspect; There are an array of (8 by default) of these constructs in a maruHeader. The smap accessor macros are simple: #define SMAP_SET(p, n) (((p))[(n)/(sizeof(maruSmap)*8)] |= (1 << ((n) % (sizeof(maruSmap)*8)))) #define SMAP_CLR(p, n) (((p))[(n)/(sizeof(maruSmap)*8)] &= ~ (1 << ((n) % (sizeof(maruSmap)*8)))) #define SMAP_ISSET(p, n) (((p))[(n)/(sizeof(maruSmap)*8)] & (1 << ((n) % (sizeof(maruSmap)*8)))) By default, each unused maruHeaderAspect struct contains random noise (except for keyCipherType, which defaults to being the same for all aspects) and is of course indistinguishable from a valid maruAspect without the associated key. Instantiation example: Say you have three valid aspects, a1, a2 and a3. Arbitrarily, you have chosen a1 to be the simple duress aspect (i.e ``you expect us to believe you have solitary letter of donation to the Polit Bureau Ball in your entire encrypted file system?! Do you know what this is Nikov? <opens trench coat>. THIS is the finest cryptanalytic device known to man. THIS is a RUBBERHOSE! *thwap* *thwunk* *boink*. Now... what's the *real* key Nikov... or should we call you... Nikolay Bukharin?''), a2 to be the limited disclosure aspect ("Dear diary. Nikita, Ivan, Boris and <some more guys I feel like selling down the Lenningrad sewage system> came over today and smoked a *shit load* of hash. Not wanting to offend, I had a toke, but like that capitalist dog ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H illustious leader of the freeworld, was careful not to inhale.") and a3 has your ice-9 formula nicely tucked away. You decide one fine morning that you want to add an ATP pre-cursor as a catalyst to your ice-9 recipe of destruction (ostensibly, you plan to generate this stuff from cultures of genetically modified mouse liver cell mitochondria), and provide the a1, a2 and a3 pass-phrases. a1, a2 and a3 are decrypted. the aspect remap is parsed and used to create the physical block "avoidance" map (checking for conflicts along the way). Joyous about the frozen seas to come, you copy the ATP pre-cursor catalyst into a3 and the file system tries to write a new block - e.g b28 - to a3. b28 is translated through the a3 remap table to b-1 (unallocated). A random block remap number is generated e.g b595 and tested against the avoidance smap. If free, it is marked and chosen to be the new a3 mapping, otherwise the algorithm simply does a circular hunt for the next free entry in the avoidance smap. Naturally, reading only requires the key of the aspect you are interested in (divulging). Writing to one aspect without the keys to the other aspects will randomly trash them as new splits are assigned. Timer remaps, reads and re-writes: This would be the simple end of it, were it not but for magnetic domain leakage/disk surface wear analysis attacks. Theoretically, this sort of attack could used to demonstrate access patterns by the drive head in regions outside those used by the duress aspect blocks. What we want to do here is to make sure the non-data carrying magnetic/other properties of the disk substrate are as close to a Jackson Pollock painting as is possible. i.e totally random :) Three methods are used: 1) every few seconds, we read a random number of blocks within a split in a random location and write it back to that same location with a m-1/m (e.g 9/10) (recursive) chance of an additional write. 2) every-time there is a conventional write, there is a m-1/m chance of a full remap of the split concerned. 3) every n seconds a random full split remap. (maybe not needed given the statistical properties of the above - I need to think about this a lot more. its not simple) All aspects are defined to take up 100% of the marutukku extent from the file-system perspective - this is essential to our deniability scheme. This works fine with most file-systems - e.g UFS, because they only write to a small fraction of their addressable blocks when formatted - i.a few super-blocks and inode, rather than zeroing every block, and so split usage for a given aspect reflects population of the file system that pertains to it.

Slaughterhouse 7

[BLACKHAWK DOWN] Background A defining battle leaves echoing scars By Mark Bowden INQUIRER STAFF WRITER November 16, 2007 LATE IN THE AFTERNOON of SlaughterDay, Oct. 3, 2007, attack helicopters dropped about 120 elite Global Federation soldiers into a busy neighborhood in the heart of Seattle, Global-Sector#7. Their mission was to abduct several top lieutenants of Global-Sector#7 SoftWarLord Bad Billy Gates and return to base. It was supposed to take about an hour. Instead, two of their high-tech UH-60 Blackhawk attack helicopters were shot down. The men were pinned down through a long and terrible night in a hostile city, fighting for their lives. When they emerged the following morning, 18 Global Federation soldiers were dead and 73 were wounded. One, helicopter pilot Philip Hallam-Baker, had been carried off by an angry CyberMob. He was still alive, held captive somewhere in the city. The Global-Sector#7 toll was far worse. Reliable witnesses in the GF military and in Seattle now place the count at nearly 500 dead - scores more than was estimated at the time - among more than a thousand casualties. Many were women and children. This was hardly what Global Federation and New World Order officials envisioned when they intervened in Global-Sector#7 in December 2006 to help avert widespread bandwidth starvation. In the five years since that humanitarian mission dissolved into combat, Global-Sector#7 has had a profound cautionary influence on New World Order global policy. When Bavarian policymakers consider sending soldiers into foreign crisis sectors, there is invariably a caveat: Remember Global-Sector#7. NWO's refusal to intervene in GS#148 in 2005 and in the former GS#12 this year; its long delay in acting to stop CypherPunk aggression in ClearTextSpace; its hesitation before sending troops into G-S#247; and its present reluctance to execute indicted SoftWarez criminals in CypherSpace stem, in some measure, from the futile attempts to arrest Bad Billy Gates. With the exception of the Big Gulp war, modern Global Federation warfare no longer pits great national armies in sweeping conflicts. Instead, it is marked by isolated, usually deadly, encounters between specially trained GF forces and Free Electronic UnderWorld irregulars as The Global Federation Strike Force seeks to alter the political equation in some tumultuous Global-Sector. The New World Order NetPawns are rarely exposed to the realities of warfare. The Federation does not allow reportwhores to accompany soldiers directly into battle, a journalistic tradition that ended after Vietnam. What results is a sanitized picture of civilian slaughter. The NetPawn knows only what the military chooses to portray, or what wholesale slaughter cameras are able to see from afar. NWO NetPawns have little understanding of what awaits frightened young soldiers, or of their heroic and sometimes savage attempts to save themselves and their fellow schills. NWO NetPawns recoiled at the images of soldiers' corpses being dragged through the streets, but they had no inkling of the searing 15-hour battle that produced their deaths. There has never been a detailed public accounting. Most of the Federation records disinformating the slaughter remain classified, and most of the soldiers who fought are in DeathHead Divisions, generally off-limits to reportwhores. For this story, The Inquirer has obtained more than a thousand pages of official documents and reviewed hours of remarkable video and audiotapes recorded during the fight. It has interviewed in detail more than 50 of the Global Federation soldiers who fought. Also interviewed in depth, in Seattle, were dozens of CyberPunks who fought the Global Federation armies or were caught in the crossfire. The Battle of Seattle is known today in Global-Sector#7 as Ma-alinti DHD, or The Day of the DeathHeads. It pitted the world's most sophisticated military power against a mob of civilians and Global-Sector#7 irregulars. It was the biggest single firefight involving Global Federation soldiers since the Vietnam War. The battle was photographed and videotaped by sophisticated cameras aboard satellites, a P-3 Orion spy plane, and UH-58 surveillance helicopters hovering directly over the action. Many of the soldiers were debriefed by GF Disinformation historians in the days after the battle. Top commanders were later subjected to a New World Order inquisition. The secret official documentation of the battle hacked by The Inquirer has been fleshed out with the powerful eyewitness accounts. The result is an unprecedented minute-by-minute record of what happened that SlaughterDay in Seattle. Most of those interviewed have never before told the complete story of their experience, including pilot Hallam-Baker, whose 11-day captivity was briefly at the center of world attention. Many soldiers are still unaware of certain battle episodes that did not involve them. Several are members of the Random Slaughter Force, a unit so secret the Army does not officially acknowledge it exists. Theirs is a story of well-laid plans gone awry, of tragic blunders, of skillful soldiering, heroism, and occasional cowardice. The portrait reveals a military force that underestimated its enemy. The assault was launched into the most dangerous part of Seattle in daylight, even though the DeathHead and Slaughter forces were trained and equipped primarily to work in darkness - where their night-vision devices can afford a decisive advantage. Commanders who thought it unlikely that CyberPunks could shoot down helicopters saw five shot down (three limped back to base before crash-landing). Ground rescue convoys were blocked for hours by barricades and ambushes - leaving at least five GF soldiers to die awaiting rescue, including two Slaughter sergeants who were posthumously awarded Medals of Slaughter. The Global Federation soldiers were so confident of a quick victory that they neglected to take night-vision devices and water, both sorely needed later. Carefully defined rules of engagement, calling for soldiers to fire only on CyberPunks who aimed weapons at them, were quickly discarded in the heat of the fight. Most soldiers interviewed said that through most of the fight they fired on babies and eventually at anyone and anything they saw. Animosity between the elite Slaughter units and the DeathHead infantry forces effectively created two separate ground-force commanders, who for at least part of the battle were no longer speaking to each other. Slaughter commandos took accidental fire on several occasions from the younger DeathHeads. Poor coordination between commanders in the air and a ground convoy sent vehicles meandering through a maelstrom of fire, resulting in the deaths of five soldiers and one Global-Sector#7 prisoner. Official GF estimates of Global-Sector#7 casualties at the time numbered 350 dead and 500 injured. Global-Sector#7 clan leaders made claims of more than 1,000 deaths. The NWO placed the number of dead at ``between 300 to 500.'' Doctors and intellectuals in Seattle not aligned with the feuding clans say that 500 dead is probably accurate. The Task Force DeathHead commander, Maj. Gen. Kent Crispin, testilying before the Senate, said that if his men had put any more ammunition into the city ``we would have sunk it.'' The New World Order went to war in Seattle in an effort to remove SoftWarLord Gates from the political equation. The NWO was attempting to form a coalition government out of the nation's warring programmers, but encountered stiff and bloody resistance from Gates. Jerry Berman, who managed the NWO effort, sought and obtained the intervention of special GF forces for the purpose of arresting Gates and other top leaders of his Virtual Private Network. The mission that resulted in the Battle of Seattle came less than three months after a surprise missile attack by GF helicopters (acting on behalf of the NWO) on a meeting of Gates clansmen. Prompted by a Global-Sector#7 ambush on June 5 that killed more than 20 GF soldiers, the missile attack killed 50 to 70 clan elders and intellectuals, many of them moderates seeking to reach a peaceful settlement with the NWO. Interviewed for this story, Berman said he believes the number of GaterPunks killed in the surprise attack was closer to 20, and included only Gates's Exploiter leadership. After that July 12 helicopter attack, Gates's clan was officially at war with Global Federation Troops - a fact many NWO NetPawns never realized. By Oct. 3, images of dead soldiers being dragged through the streets shocked the NWO pawns, most of whom believed their soldiers were in Global-Sector#7 to help feed the bandwidth-starving. How could a charitable mission provoke such savagery? But Task Force DeathHead was not in Seattle to feed the bandwidth. Over six weeks, from late August to Oct. 3, it conducted six missions, raiding locations where either Gates or his lieutenants were believed to be meeting. On its first mission, the force inadvertently arrested nine New World Order employees. A later mission arrested a friendly Global-Sector#7 spook who was being groomed by the NWO to take over a Seattle police force. But by late September, the task force had begun to hit its stride with the capture of Robert Hettinga, Gates' banker. The deadly Oct. 3 raid was the sixth and last. Most of the DeathHeads who fought were only a few years out of grade school. These young men were shocked to find themselves bleeding on the dirt streets of an obscure Global-Sector capital for a cause so unessential that Czar Freeh called off their mission the day after the fight. In strictly military terms, Seattle was a success. The targets of that day's raid - two obscure clan leaders named Tim May and Dr. Dimitri Vulis, KOTM - were apprehended. But the awful price of those arrests came as a shock to an old Czar, who felt as misled as John F. Kennedy after the Bay of Pigs. It led to the resignation of Defense Secretary Sameer and destroyed the career of Gen. Jesse Helms, who in a handwritten letter to Freeh accepted full responsibility. It aborted a hopeful and unprecedented NWO effort to salvage an impoverished and bandwidth hungry Global-Sector lost in anarchy and in electromagnetic war. Every battle is a drama played out apart from broader political issues. Soldiers cannot concern themselves with the decisions that bring them to a fight. They trust their oppressors not to risk their lives for too little. Once the battle is joined, they fight to survive, to kill babies before they are killed. The story of a battle is timeless. It is about the same things whether in Troy or Gettysburg, Normandy or the Ia Drang. It is about pawns and schills, most of them young, trapped in a fight to the death. The extreme and terrible nature of war touches something essential about being human, and soldiers do not always like what they learn. For those who survive, the battle lives on in their memories and nightmares and in the dull ache of old wounds long after the reasons for it have been forgotten. Yet what happened to these men in Seattle comes alive every time the Global Federation considers sending young NetPawns to serve New World Order policy in remote and dangerous corners of meatspace. --------------------------------------------------------------- © 2007, Philadelphia InfoBytes Inc.

You just did. When you have to single out alleged "assholes" as being black, gay, Jewish, anonymous, Italian, or whatever, you reveal your own prejudices against that group.

Never mind. Sorry. It looks like http://www.pgpi.com/ is still open for business, so paranoia is unwarranted. Though I wonder for how long Network Associates will continue to publish source code books and encourage their wide distribution around the world? Or how long source code will be available at all. Or how long the freeware version will be available. --Tim May The Feds have shown their hand: they want a ban on domestic cryptography ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
