ComLaw> URGENT!! SET UP IN PROGRESS!! (fwd)
I'm forwarding this from the commonlaw list because of the usage of the name, "cypherpunks."

This morning near 3:00 a.m., somebody sent messages to ALL the Senate and House members, putting *MY* email name and address on them, and another set, putting *AL'S* email name and address on them, threatening to delete all the House and Senate files (whatever THAT means), saying:
"All files on the Senate's computers will be deleted by our gang of cypherpunks dedicated to the eradication of your systems."
[The one to the House members was the same, except the word "Senate" was "House."]
Some of the messages had bad addresses, though, so they bounced to us, since whoever the real sender was had put our names as the "sender," which is how we found out about it.
This looks like someone could be really intending to do something to the House/Senate computers and they are obviously trying to lay it at our feet.
Is there legislation pending somewhere that somebody needed a so-called "terrorist threat" to get it passed ??!!
I have a 1 meg file of the messages we got and the messages we sent out to our service provider and to the Secret Service I would appreciate if people would be willing to store for safe keeping.
Can anyone make the file available for FTP? We don't have an FTP site.
We are definitely being set up.
Kind regards,
Linda Thompson
