Jim Traficant D-OH) AN AMERICA WITH TWO LEGAL STANDARDS IS AN AMERICA WITH NO LEGAL STANDARDS September 15, 1998 Mr. Speaker, if Joe Q. Citizen lied in a civil trial, he would be sued for every penny. If Joe Q. Citizen lied to a Grand Jury, he would go to jail. Lying is perjury. Perjury is a crime. Now, having said that, what is going on here, Mr. Speaker? Does America now have two legal standards, one for you, one for me; one for he, one for she; one for generals, one for soldiers; one for Presidents, one for residents? Let us tell it like it is. Joe Q. Citizen cannot apologize, Joe Q. Citizen is not censured, Joe Q. Citizen is prosecuted. And let me warn Congress: An America with two legal standards is an America with no legal standards. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of the lives of all of the soldiers that gave their lives fighting to preserve our freedom.

True, but unlike these other guys they haven't been able to de-crypt the data and use it against him, and they have denied him access to retrieve files that supposedly prove his innocence, definitely making the big boys look more than a tad oppressive. Add onto this the physical abuse that is supposed to have occurred and it becomes to be seen as an issue irrespective of his crimes. I would say that in Mitnick's case the use of crypto has worked to his long-term advantage. ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder.

Fun thing to do...... read the Starr Report, then find all the days and times that they did nasty stuff..... then find pix of the President at public engagements, meetings, speeches, etc. just before and just after these sex acts....... set up a Web Site with these pix of him speaking, or shaking hands with an old lady, or talking to a class of kids......put in the HTML Page how many minutes, hours, ect., before or after the pix was taken that he was doing what act!!!!!!!!!!! SOMEBODY DO THIS, IT WILL BE FUNNY HA HA!!!!!! P.S. This is not my original Idea, everbody's talking about it here at work, and I don't know how to get to the right databases to find the pix, so don't ask me.................

Questions for Magaziner?
by Robert Hettinga 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I spoke at the Electronic Payments Forum here in Boston today, and, tomorrow, the keynote for tomorrow's lunch is Ira Magaziner. (BTW, Bill was speaking tonight at the same hotel the conference is in, probably a bilderberger conspiracy thing, and, when I got out, there was about a thousand protesters, about 80/20 against, complete with one guy dressed as a giant cigar, shades of Butt Man?, and a couple of women with big brunette hair and blue dresses on. With pearl necklaces, of course...) Anyway, In light of more recent crypto-shenanigans from Billary, and the fact that this thing's a small crowd, I figured I'd ask if anyone on these lists had a question they wanted me to ask him. One I want to ask, right off the top of my head is, "Given your recent successes in regulating foreign cryptography, what's your timetable for regulating domestic cryptography?" ;-). (To the extent that they already *do*, or not, I'll leave as an exercise for the reader...) Cheers, Bob Hettinga ----------------- Robert A.
