Newt may be more receptive to encryption now
by Scottauge＠aol.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Given his troubles with this "hay seed" scanner recording democrats, ol' Newt may be more receptive to encryption. Our privacy certainly is getting trashed by this presidency and I am hoping an impeachment is coming down the line. Since the congress is who makes the laws, maybe we all can focus some snail mail to these guys. Perhaps EFF could even draft some laws for our protection (what a joke - just to keep busy body beaurocrats outta our business). What does it matter anyhow, these guys dont read their own 300 - 5000 page laws anyhow.... Hopeless....

Response to my post about Karn case and Judge Ginsberg

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 16 Jan 1997 08:39:22 -0800 (PST) From: Declan McCullagh <declan(a)well.com> To: fight-censorship(a)vorlon.mit.edu Subject: Response to my post about Karn case and Judge Ginsberg [In a post earlier this week announcing that a partial Karn transcript was in Netly's Afterword section, I said that Ginsberg had libertarian leanings. Attached is a response. --Declan] ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 15 Jan 1997 10:48:46 From: [Name deleted -DBM] To: Declan McCullagh <declan(a)well.com> Subject: Re: Karn case challenging crypto rules -- oral arguments online I don't know if you're aware of this case, but Judge Ginsberg wrote the most disturbing dissenting opinion on a national security issue that I can think of in recent years. It was a lawsuit involving old FBI COINTELPRO activity from the late 1950s. The widow of a prominent Communist sued the FBI for ruining her husband's career. It seems the FBI planted falsified documents implying that he was an FBI spy where his fellow communists would find them. To prove the case, the plaintiff needed FBI records requested under FOIA. The FBI refused, citing "national security". Two of the judges reviewing the case sensibly noted that dirty tricks on American citizens during the 1950s are hardly a national security issue today. Ginsberg, however, wrote a chilling dissent. He *censored* the key parts of his dissent, because they were based on classified information. The plaintiff was not permitted to see the heart of Ginsberg's justification. That's as close to a secret court as I've ever heard of in the US. The case was settled out of court after the FBI lost the suit, but to this day, I think Ginsberg is the worst judge in the Federal courts. I remember this story from the NY Times, but I'm sure you can find the details yourself if you're interested. At any rate, I would consider Ginsberg highly susceptable to "national security" arguments by the Federal govt.

Well, I can't speak for R.H., but in my own case, my KILLfile entries typically look like /toto/f:=:j which displays the subject lines as it junks the articles. Sometimes I'll see one go by which interests me, so I'll go back and read it anyway. Similarly, people who've been plonked are often quoted in somebody else's message, so I see it anyway.

Re: Newt's phone calls

After following this thread for some time, I have to question whether Americans realise how far behind the rest of the world they are in cellphone technology. Most of the world has been using GSM digital technology for some years now, with automatic international roaming, unless you travel to the USA. No one in their right mind uses an analogue mobile phone any more if they are concerned about eavesdropping. The Newt incident simply could not happen with GSM. Of course in most countries the government controls the federal police, not the other way round. Greg Brisbane Australia
