Cypherpunks is a _highly_ political newsgroup, it's just focussed on enabling technology and not too worried about political agreement. In this case, there are folks in Burma using PGP, and the cypherpunks goals of creating the ability to have private communications make it relevant to discuss societies where you can be busted for simply possessing communications technology even if the Thugs can't tell what you're saying on it.
