pathology
by Secret Squirrel 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

This was taken from the Alameda County District Attorney's Office publication "The Point of View": In a murder trial, the defense attorney was cross examining a pathologist. Here's what happened: ATTORNEY: Before you signed the death certificate, had you taken the pulse? CORONER: No. ATTORNEY: Did you listen to the heart? CORONER: No. ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing? CORONER: No. ATTORNEY: So, when you signed the death certificate, you weren't sure the man was dead, were you? CORONER: Well, let me put it this way. The man's brain was sitting in a jar on my desk. But I guess it's possible he could be out there practicing law somewhere.

Thanks to Greg Broiles's FOIA effort and Lucky Green, we offer the first US public release of: The Wassenaar Arrangement - List of Dual Use-Goods and Technologies and Munitions List, July 1996 http://jya.com/wa/watoc.htm This is the 200-page document Greg previously announced here which lists in minute detail the wide range of goods and technologies to be restricted by arms and trade export controls. The Wassenaar Arrangement succeeds COCOM as the arms control regime signed by 33 nations. Cryptography is covered in Category 5 - Part 2: http://jya.com/wa/wacat52.htm Which may be compared to the Australian version: http://jya.com/aucat_5.htm

No Shit. Hmmm. :-) I guess the spook angle is to ensure that those are <cringe>well targetted</cringe> wiretaps - targetting based on intelligence, which is probably not the same as legal intercept...

Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) - Background on Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) - How to participate in the Online Town Hall Meeting - Upcoming Events - About democracy.net ___________________________________________________________________________ JOIN REP. BOB GOODLATTE (R-VA) LIVE ONLINE TUESDAY JUNE 3, 8:30 PM ET Who is Congressman Bob Goodlatte? Depending on your point of view, the Republican Congressman from Virginia is either a steadfast champion of online privacy, or a supporter of censorship in cyberspace. This year, Rep. Goodlatte has been leading a successful charge to overturn the Clinton administration's encryption control policies. Goodlatte is the principal author of H.R. 695, "The Security and Freedom through Encryption (SAFE) Act." -- a bill designed to promote privacy and security on the Internet by encouraging the widespread availability of encryption technology. Goodlatte's efforts to protect privacy and prohibit the government from imposing "key-escrow" and "key-recovery" domestically have won him praise from Internet users. The SAFE bill was recently approved by the House Judiciary Committee (the first time an encryption reform bill has ever cleared a major Congressional committee), and is now headed to the House International Relations Committee where a tougher fight is expected. But in 1995, Rep. Goodlatte was a leading supporter of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) -- a law which for the first time imposed broad content regulations on the Internet. The CDA is currently being reviewed by the Supreme Court and a decision is expected before the end of June. Join Congressman Goodlatte for a live, Virtual Town Hall meeting and find out what makes him tick. You can submit questions in advance by visiting http://www.democracy.net. The discussion will be moderated by Todd Lappin, Section Editor at Wired Magazine. ____________________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND ON REP. BOB GOODLATTE (R-VA) [This information is taken verbatim from Rep. Goodlatte's World Wide Web page at http://www.house.gov/goodlatte/] Bob Goodlatte, age 44, was elected to serve as the Sixth District's Congressman in November of 1992. He was re-elected to his second term without opposition in 1994. He is a graduate of Washington and Lee University School of Law, and his undergraduate degree in Government was earned at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine. Before being elected to Congress, Bob served as former Congressman Caldwell Butler's District Office Manager from 1977 to 1979, where he was responsible for helping folks across the Sixth District. In 1979, he founded his own private law practice in Roanoke. He is a former partner in the law firm of Bird, Kinder and Huffman, working there from 1981 until taking office. Bob has long been active in his community, serving as President of the Civitan Club of Roanoke, and he's been active with the Parent Teachers Association at his children's public school and with the United Way of the Roanoke Valley. Bob serves on the Judiciary Committee and the Agriculture Committee. His subcommittee assignments on Judiciary are: the Constitution Subcommittee and the Courts & Intellectual Property Subcommittee. His subcommittee assignments on Agriculture are: the Livestock Subcommittee and the Department Operations and Nutrition Program Subcommittee where he serves as the Chairman. After Republicans won the majority, Whip Tom DeLay (R-Texas) selected Bob to serve as an Assistant Whip. Bob and Maryellen, his wife of 22 years, live in Roanoke with their two children, Jenny and Bobby. ____________________________________________________________________________ INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO PARTICIPATE * Interactive Town Hall Meeting with Rep.
