Who the hell co-opted NII for National Security? Every discussion to date (at least on the internet) has shown no link to National Security, which should be the only way NSA is involved.
For A contrast see the July/August issue of INFO SECURITY NEWS there are several articles on security of the NII. The only person appearing to be aware of any implied EES type protection is Rep. Edward Markey, (D-MA) who is quoted in Info Highway Security VIEWPOINTS: --- On securing NII: "We need to conduct a full debate on the Clipper chip and encryption issues so that people can protect their data and their privacy." --- [He is in favor of applying the Bill of Rights to cyberspace] No one else supports Clipper/Capstone as a serious contender, and a good number of interviewees see the role of government in the NII as limited. There are several applicable articles.
