Salon.com: Send in the online spooks?
by Anonymous 15 Sep '01

15 Sep '01

This week, the FBI issued a court order, citing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and demanding specific information concerning selected subscribers to America Online and EarthLink, the country's two largest Internet service providers. On Tuesday, shortly after news of the destruction of the World Trade Center began to spread, the operators of the MagusNet Public Proxy Server, an "anonymous remailer" designed to provide security for Internet e-mail and other online communiqués, voluntarily shut down to prevent the system's being abused by terrorists (or pranksters). Meanwhile, a congressman called for a global ban on all encryption software that failed to include a "backdoor" allowing government surveillance, and a senator tacked an amendment onto an appropriations bill that would make wiretapping considerably easier. Privacy advocates and civil libertarians are perpetually on guard, but after Tuesday's deadly airline hijackings, they are faced with a new and potent enemy -- public fear. Will a Congress desperate to do something in response to the horrifying carnage sweep in a slew of unprecedented restrictions on personal freedoms? The outcry of protest has already begun.

resend: re: Senate votes to permit warrantless Net-wiretaps
by citizenQ 15 Sep '01

15 Sep '01

Reading the discussion I see that the amendment calls for inclusion of 'terrorist activies' into Title III which allows wiretapping under Court order, not anything about warrantless wiretapping. I did not perform all the text substitutions of the amemdment itself though. However in the language of the amendment all references that I read are to activities under court order. Please indicate the wider circumstances, particularly the warrantless circumstances, that this amendment allows cybertapping under, for those of us without your time or acumen in editing the existing Title III language. You also did not quote this: "One of the most effective investigative tools at the disposal of law enforcement agencies is the ability to go to a Federal judge and get wiretapping authority. It is critical in matters such as this. That is the ability to intercept oral or electronic conversations involving the subject of a criminal investigation. The legislative scheme that provides this authority, and at the same time protects the individual liberties of American citizens to be secure against unwarranted government surveillance, is referred to in the criminal code as Title III. Among the many protections inherent in Title III is that only the investigations of certain criminal offenses, those judged to be sufficiently serious to warrant the use of this potent crime-fighting weapon, are eligible for wiretapping orders. The law lays out a number of crimes deemed by Congress to be serious enough to warrant allowing the FBI to intercept electronic and oral communications. Title III currently allows interception of communications in connection with the investigation of such crimes as mail fraud, wire fraud, and the interstate transportation of stolen property. Inexplicably, however, the Federal terrorism statutes are not currently included in Title III. I have been complaining about this for a long time and this is the time to correct it." >>Text of the Hatch-Feinstein "Combating Terrorism Act of 2001": >http://www.politechbot.com/docs/cta.091401.html > >Discussion of the amendment: >http://www.fas.org/sgp/congress/2001/s091301.html > >-Declan >> >******** > >http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,46852,00.html > > Senate OKs FBI Net Spying > By Declan McCullagh (declan(a)wired.com) > 12:55 p.m. Sep. 14, 2001 PDT > > WASHINGTON -- FBI agents soon may be able to spy on Internet users > legally without a court order. > > On Thursday evening, two days after the worst terrorist attack in U.S. >> history, the Senate approved the "Combating Terrorism Act of 2001," > which enhances police wiretap powers and permits monitoring in more > situations. > > The measure, proposed by Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Dianne Feinstein > (D-California), says any U.S. attorney or state attorney general can > order the installation of the FBI's Carnivore surveillance system. > Previously, there were stiffer restrictions on Carnivore and other > Internet surveillance techniques. > > Its bipartisan sponsors argue that such laws are necessary to thwart > terrorism.

Infowar: Muslim Student News list Tampering

David Stern's "News alert" re: Israel and the Terror???? (fwd)
by !Dr. Joe Baptista 14 Sep '01

14 Sep '01

Source: Direct Submission Organizatio: Media Monitors Network (MMN) Email: mckhan(a)ureach.com Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2001 10:45:01 -0400 Title: David Stern's "News alert" TEXT: ----------------------------- >> WITH NO COMMENTS << ----------------------------- Date Thu, 13 Sept 2001 6:59:42am Email: "David Stern" <sternintel(a)hotmail.com> Sent-To: faisal(a)ummah.com, palestine-info(a)palestine-info.net, newsdesk(a)MiddleEastWire.com, irna(a)irna.com, webmaster(a)muslimedia.com, ContactUs(a)MediaMonitors.net Subj: News alert NEWS EMBARGO AFTER ISRAELI LINK LEAK Stern-Intel (Canada). A US military intelligence source revealed details of an internal intelligence memo that points to the Israeli Mossad intelligence service having links to the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks. The intelligence source, who requested his name be withheld, confirmed the internal US intelligence memo circulated four weeks ago described information that pointed to the threat of a covert Israeli operation on US soil to turn mass public opinion against Palestinian Arabs via an apparent terrorist attack on US interests that would give Israel the green light to implement a large scale military onslaught against the Palestinian Arab population. The 11 September attack has been described by experts as being too sophisticated for a lone terrorist group to execute. This attack required a high level of military precision and the resources of an advanced intelligence agency. In addition, the attackers would have needed to be extremely familiar with both air force one flight operations, civil airline flight paths and aerial assault tactics on sensitive US cities like Washington, Stated David Stern an expert on Israeli intelligence operations. The attacks targeted the Pentagon, World Trade Center towers, with the white house and air force also being targets according to the FBI. The attacks have certainly turned US public opinion firmly back in Israel's favor after 11 months of Palestinian uprising, heavy criticism of Israel over war crimes allegations and racism by a UN conference in Durban. The attacks serve no Arab group or nations interests but their timing came in the midst of international condemnation of Israel for its policy of death squad assassination of Palestinian political and police figures, added Stern. If verified, the news of Israels involvement in the US attack will come as no surprise to intelligence experts. The state of Israel has a long history of covert operations against Western targets with attacks on the King David Hotel, USS Liberty, murder of a Scandinavian UN envoy as well as espionage against the US during the Jonathan Pollard case. On Wednesday the US defense department issued a warning to its officials to halt the leak of information on the investigation which it says is happening on a daily basis since the attacks occurred. _______________________________________________ Contentalert mailing list Contentalert(a)mediamonitors.net http://mediamonitors.net/mailman/listinfo/contentalert_mediamonitors.net
