NRO spoof and deception
by paul＠hawksbill.sprintmrn.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Front page story in the Washington Post, as expected, entitled, "Spy Unit's Spending Stuns Hill," and subtitled, "$310 Million Facility Secretly Sprouts Up Near Dulles Airport." Gee, I wondered what that building was. ,-) A couple of select quotes from the article: "The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence yesterday charged that the clandestine agency that manages the nation's spy satellites has concealed from Congress the mushrooming cost of a $310 million compund it has been secretly building near Dulles International Airport. "President Clinton declassified the existence of the proposed headquarters for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) yesterday after several senators protested to him privately that they had been kept in the dark about the cost and scope of the project. At 1 million square feet, it is nearly one-fourth the size of the Pentagon. "The NRO, whose very existence was until two years ago an officially classified secret, is jointly overseen by the CIA and the Department of Defense. Until yesterday, the headquarters project had been publicly described as an office complex for Rockwell International Corp., the Los Angeles-based defense contractor." "DeConcini critized the Pentagon and the CIA for not providing Congress adequate information. The intelligence community is a culture that 'believes we don't have to account like everybody else in government,' he said." --------- - paul

Well, if Inman goes down I suppose I will do some rejoicing. However, this is also kind of depressing. Something as important as a Cabinet nomination can be wiped out by something that is really irrelevant (have you ever looked into just how *hard* it is to employ a nanny on the books?); while we all acknowledge that our really serious concerns will have no effect. Anybody who is concerned about freedom in this country should ought to be pretty scared when decisions this important are made in this way. Not that this example is anything particularly new...

Jill Sixpack wants to know?

Is the cracking of Netscape SSL the equivalant of lockpicking, as opposed to the keycracking stuff we did (making a key). And further, we can do it rather fast, like in minutes?

A little ditty about PGP (I especially like the part about prayin' Phil"ain't dead"!)

Note: Despite the copyright, the author permits distribution of her work with proper acknowledgement. ------------------------- Hi, glad you liked my stuff. Just for the yell of it, here's my latest atrocity, based on a hackers' in-joke (would you believe, my very first computer filk?). P.G.P. words: L. Fish (c)12/18/93 tune: ditto The G-men all are cryin' And tearin' out their hair, 'Cause there's a new cryptography That's shown up everywhere. Nobody can break it, However good they be. Everybody's PC got the PGP. It guarantees who's callin' And just who gets the call. If you ain't got your code-word, You can't get in at all. Oh, there ain't nothin' like it To keep your privacy. Half the world's computers got the PGP. There's not a way to crack it, Not in a hundred years. All the spooks & wiretappers Are cryin' in their beers. They can't spy on E-mail Here or oversea When every home computer's got the PGP. Bless the man who made it, And pray that he ain't dead. He could've made a million If he'd sold it to the feds, But he was hot for freedom; He gave it out for free. Now every common citizen's got PGP. So go say what you want to, Of love or war or hate, Kinky sex, or dirty words, Or overthrow the state. Nobody can stop you. Speech is really free When everybody's PC got the PGP. Whee!
