I don't think the issue is "telling the truth" or not, telling the truth is the only way to go in this instance if the kind of world that Clipper -- and Bill Casey's top Russian specialist being a spy -- represents is not to self-perpetuate. The backlash to Clipper is a big jab in the eye to the thoroughly self-indulgent and self-righteous "intelligence establishment" of which people like Dorothy Denning are only the willing lapdogs. The American people are squarely on our side on this as long as they are presented with a fair statement of the question: do you want the government to have the right to see or hear every single piece of electronic information written by you, to you or about you? The struggle is not over whether to tell the truth, or whether there is enough time to tell the whole truth. The struggle is to find a message that encapulizes all of our technical and political and personal misgivings with this system *and* the forces driving it forward, make that message accessible to the broad public and make sure that the public hears it and has a chance to make it the real fulcrum of decision.
