Call me stupid, but what is the implicit comment?

I'm not sure, and I do not wish to speculate just now, with so many people on this list who are so much better qualified to speculate on the NSA's motivations than I am. Perhaps my word "implicit" was poorly chosen. Anyway, going from silence to non-silence counts for _something_, and I doubt this kind of step was taken without high level thought or consul- tation or infighting, considering the NSA's former near-monopoly on strong cryptograpy capabilities. <snip> PS I doubt *anyone* on this list is stupid, though all of us probably do stupid things from time to time... ;-) JMR - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 Comment: Freedom isn't Freeh iQCVAwUBMCFYTm1lp8bpvW01AQGWYgP+NRdp4rfJ2PhFdiKQkOH1W9mV74l1Z7c9 hiPCLKbdkl8uq3lc53cS57wibF6XsuF2+cfcImsT2I0/C3jvijOgVOD917XJJrul CbD9yEUuYL0DTeCc+pUSvdNiAsaKzXgaZE99d0tyHgo6Y3VTUMkP911kpyHrSCHF aOWAJFTu+CM= =XSiz - -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Regards, Jim Ray "The people will again respect the law when the law again respects the will of the people."
