The point, hardhead, is to keep communications public. Private stuff can be leveraged into a subpoena. Not your own private stuff, somebody else's. Like your CDR rat. I handed my subpoenaed material (public messages to cpunks and the HTML subpoena on Cryptome) to the grand jury foreman after being told by London that it was an informal procedure to give subpoenaed material to him or Capt. Jeff Gordon, the "case's lead investigator." Robb didn't know what was in the package during his questioning, nor did the grand jury. I referred to the material several times to buttress my testimony, and only near the end did Robb say, "are you saying you only provided public information?" That's right, I answered. And I told him and Jeff beforehand I wanted to publish my testimony, and told the jury I intended to report on the process: To help the public understand how government works, especially the secret part. One juror said, you're not going to publish our names are you? Robb hastened to testify, no way. Anyway, this could be a pack of lies, and more filthy secrets about how government works, and how you get snared by artful bargains for personal protection and national security, on the jury and off, by folks who preach that faith. Which comes back to the CDR forehead mark. And how you get pariahed by contact with the feds no matter what you do obey their commands or to wash away the dirt. They're addicted to that secret sadistic pleasure, and aim to addict juries.
