book idea: info terrorism/espionage etc.
hey, I understand a sequel to Puzzle Palace by Bamford and someone else is due to be published soon. is this correct? when is the due date? has anyone heard about this? I've been seeing a lot of early lead articles from other reporters, such as a GNN article awhile ago, and an assertion that the NSA is working with the GCHQ to monitor American citizens. I was just thinking what an interesting book this could be. if it doesn't cover the ideas of "information terrorism" that are hinted in e.g. Strassman's remailer paper, it seems this is a vacuum that could be filled with a very significant/interesting tome by someone. I hope Levy's cryptography book covers some of these areas too. I would like to just see one entire chapter dedicated to the way the spooks seem to be doing a "bait and switch" now that the cold war is over, with economic espionage and all that. easily an entire book could be dedicated to this subject. I've seen a lot of editorials on reforming the spook apparatus, and it seems now is the prime moment for some very influential books to come out to influence future policy ideas.

Been addressed. See e.g., Winn Schwartau, "Defense in Depth for Information Systems Survival" 8 International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence 2, 229. Mr. Schwartau is the Exec. director of Inter.Pact, Inc., a Florida information security firm and has written what is considered, in some circles, the seminal work on the subject "Informational Warfare: Chaos on the Electronic Superhighway.

Apparently you're not as well read as you think, Lance. :) --- My prefered and soon to be permanent e-mail address: unicorn@schloss.li "In fact, had Bancroft not existed, potestas scientiae in usu est Franklin might have had to invent him." in nihilum nil posse reverti 00B9289C28DC0E55 E16D5378B81E1C96 - Finger for Current Key Information
