"What does the Federal Intelligence Community Fear" #1. President Bush in a little notice move during the height of the Iraq war had a ceratin statute in the vast body of (un)LAW that compromise the National Security Act. It became a violation of that same act to publish a photo or information about a federal intelligence community member. Thus all their actions are effectively hidden from view. With anonymous posting and forwarding mechanisms it becomes easily for whistle-bloweres and Political activists to circumvent that antithesis to the 1st amendment of the constitution and expose all of the hidden plots of a vastly overbearing federal bueracracy The Federal Government knows this fact as their actions regarding cryptography for the past 40 years shows it. Cryptography has a very REAL world effect in exposing corruption while preventing or inviting retribution from those selfsame federal lawbreakers Truly anonymous posting/forwarding networks being totally beyond their ability to coerce/interdict or penetrate scare the living hell out of them. Imagine a SUNDEVIL type federal operation(witchhunt) where ALL of the defendents email/posting are either encrypted or anonymized :) it would pose some very hard problems for the investigators(witchunters) what are your thoughts? cheers kelly p.s. Imagine an federal investigation where the investigators became the investigated with the help of anonymous networks digitized video clips and photos and easily obtainable/ publicly available investigative Databases oops is this forbidden speech also??? better watch what I say the Godamn US ARMY may be listening!!
