Justice Dept. dropped investigation of Phil Zimmermann, declines to prosecute. They put out a press rel. about it, already got a journo call regarding this. More when I find it.
what i'd really like to hear/see is something from the prosecutor or grand jury in this case. i'd like to know what they really thought was going to come of this, how much of the investigation was pushed by TLA types, and exactly what made them think they actually had a case in the first place. i would hope that after persecuting this man for years they would offer some reasonable explanations about their (real) motivations and why they decided to drop the case. - -pjf - -- patrick finerty = zinc@zifi.genetics.utah.edu = pfinerty@nyx.cs.du.edu U of Utah biochem grad student in the Bass lab - zinc fingers + dsRNA! ** FINGER zinc-pgp@zifi.genetics.utah.edu for pgp public key - CRYPTO! zifi runs LINUX 1.3.56 -=-=-=WEB=-=-=-> http://zifi.genetics.utah.edu -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 Comment: Processed by mkpgp1.6, a Pine/PGP interface. iQCVAwUBMPV1FE3Qo/lG0AH5AQGRewQAgphy7tN+eG+XV+Wthr3U8+m24KfogKr3 G4amKgBITIn6gdk6teOzR3nGsauUytfg6k3LA+jdBTnyVQX9Ol30HNcnqKc+poAP lvSjokMX/a/FWkxuFkUkMDc3dBDCzx732L107uDlJaXeUjwIxhWWyKJPUqGjDi4V O1X3jV0DC5A= =ywnX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
