NY Times editors decline to comment on publication delay
by Steven M. Bellovin 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

As we've all read by now, the NY Times delayed publishing its article on domestic eavesdropping for a year. The Public Editor of the Times -- nominally responsible to the readers -- tried to investigate the reasons for the delay, and in particular wehther or not the article should have been published before the election. He reports in today's paper (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/01/opinion/01publiceditor.html) that the executive and editor and the publisher of the Times have decline to provide any explanation whatsoever for the delay: "there is really no way to have a full discussion of the back story without talking about when and how we knew what we knew, and we can't do that." --Steven M.

They're out of the chain of command. PMCs have already made the US notorious overseas because of their antics. They're able to negotiate their way around many of the laws and regulations that apply to us ("Laws for thee but not for me.") They aren't held to codes of conduct or oversight that police forces are. No accountability, either. > These guys are there to make a profit, *not* to look out for the > public interest.

Entities that are incredibly rich and well connected made it so, and there isn't anything anybody else can do about it. I hate to frob the pessimist bit this morning, but that's pretty much what it boils down to.

The library I like most is HIT - http://www.znz.freesurf.fr; it's not free though. You could also find a good one at http://ace.ulyssis.org/~triade/GInt/index.htm - it's the one recommended by the writer of DCPCrypt (Dave Barton). [See www.scramdisk.clara.net ] Mark
