Wash Post reports today on a NSA intercept of a "secure communication" between two Israeli spooks discussing a top US official spying for Israel.
The FBI opened an investigation in January.
Israel denies the claim.
Crypto is not mentioned, only that the Hebrew conversation was "awkwardly" translated.
The intercept was withdrawn after 12 hours from the distribution list due to FBI's dismay at its spread.
It might be fun to send some remailed messges to addesses within the Israeli embassy (Alta Vista should turn up some valid e-mail addresses), using various keywords like "Mega" (the code name of the highly-placed Israeli spy), the Christopher report, Arafat, Dimona, Operation Jericho, South Africa, and various nuclear-related terms.). A suggested sort of message: "Urgent that Mega exercise Option A and leave Goyland. Encode latest nuke secrets in stego image of Golda Meier at clothing optional beach." --Tim May, who supports "Mega's Law," which requires that the National Security Agency notify the neighbors about any spies resettled to their neighborhoods There's something wrong when I'm a felon under an increasing number of laws. ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
