I would disagree with you here jim. Perhaps you have a selective memory, but representatives from all the organizations attended the Clipper II hearings at NIST in Maryland and gave the pro-GAK folks a good drubbing. (with NIST's microphone too. They're such good sports...)
Person after person got up at the first of those (and subsequent ones) and grilled representatives from the FBI, NSA, NIST, and the White House. The ACLU, EPIC, EFF, CDT, and VTW were all there and pitched in. Somehow
Okay, I should remember "never say never." However, wasn't Clipper II about a year ago? They're a little gun shy if they haven't arranged something since then. I guess that's progress. In any case, a gentle reminder: I think you should withdraw the official position you originally publicized concerning the Leahy encryption bill. Fair enough? Jim Bell jimbell@pacifier.com
