-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I think that the Government is trying to make an example of Mr. Bell. I think that much of the charges reported in the news are flase. Here is why... 1) They claim that Jim was actively trying to disrupt 911 service and poison the Bull Run water supply. These are non-political targets. Jim only thinks in political targets. (I remember trying to get him to come to grips with the idea that such a system as AP would not be used just for government types. That is would be used against anyone who had enemies. Could not even make a dent...) 2) The warrent is sealed, yet the media is reporting all sorts of things about the case. Where is the information coming from? Sounds like planted information to keep people from complaining too much when they send him up the river for a few years... (Whether he survives long in custody is another story. I would be willing to bet that if he does not "cooperate" that he will have some sort of "accident" while in government hands.) 3) The suspected crimes list keeps changing. How many times has the "official" story changed? Each time it gets more and more lurid. (And many of the crimes are ones that get used against damn near every case the government tries against someone who threatens the security of the state. Belief starts to wear a bit thin after a while...) Of course, i do not expect anything like the truth from standing in the way of a conviction... "Paranoia strikes deep... Into your soul it will creep... It starts when you're always afraid... Step out of line, the man come, and take you away..." -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 5.0 beta Charset: noconv iQEVAwUBM4J5L+QCP3v30CeZAQGzywf9HoiiBqO3vbuYDtHreTk7IPKP6ZUIZX4c 5Wn54ip08cJ3pRKi+xWFhuniVve5GaenMoMbWMvVH2AQ8jVl+xGpnjGyACr0dnFK icJkwXX59/v+whYyu9R7lWba9qjqCq6XAUkyZog28F23mVGqKYz+QRPqYQF2C9AE KN7WCXd1C38m6q1YtpqgaZZ7i3+9wDjkYTm+2J4wogKzxnhSWZchhslI0V0QoySe 0zf83U8nHWQtE0d4c8nzmdRV+wTBB3Aj5Q9WVOYFSukRfn9n1pBC00aZ3Pec8BLC AeRkbbG6pKprTOfxWzd+s5T5KlWZZXo9667n7xfi/wH9LNtKNGHfEg== =vP8r -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --- | "Bill Clinton - Bringing back the sixties one Nixon at a time." | |"The moral PGP Diffie taught Zimmermann unites all| Disclaimer: | | mankind free in one-key-steganography-privacy!" | Ignore the man | |`finger -l alano@teleport.com` for PGP 2.6.2 key | behind the keyboard.| | http://www.ctrl-alt-del.com/~alan/ |alan@ctrl-alt-del.com|
