It would be fun (perhaps horrible) to see what the NSA does the first time Isreal or France set up their own high capacity long distance to other friendly/unfriendly countries (thus bypassing the US completely). Second, let France or some other country set up major Internet routing clearinghouses which advertise secure routes to other nations (not US).
I hope nobody would believe that either France or Israel would provide secure communications. France has a global reputation for industrial espionage, and Israel almost certainly listens to all the traffic it can. That's probably true of most industrialized nations in today's world. -- -> See: Info-Sec Heaven at URL http://all.net Management Analytics - 216-686-0090 - PO Box 1480, Hudson, OH 44236
