An NBC News story this evening on the threat of CB terrorism full-screened a closeup of Jim Bell's mug shot, the same as the lead photo in US News last week. The story presented much the same line and Internet sources of frightening information but did not balance it with a sidebar on burgeoning anti-terrorist opportunism as did US News.

I guess the good news is, we've finally figured out why they've been holding him so long before sentencing--to make sure he doesn't miss any of his scheduled media events. Or perhaps, given the nature of the coverage, to make sure he *does* miss them all. We need a good posterboy for one of the Four Horsemen, to ensure the passage of next year's Guaranteeing Freedom through Imposition of a Benevolent Police State Act of 1999, and the following year's appointment of first lady Tipper Gore as Internet Czar. --John Kelsey, Counterpane Systems, kelsey@counterpane.com PGP 2.6 fingerprint = 4FE2 F421 100F BB0A 03D1 FE06 A435 7E36 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBNHYfO0Hx57Ag8goBAQFQgAQA6blKyFsP+k79lTdq5NWJXV5HQGk6l2LR cl4xQGZuYsDcZNOlWnAVsxvS7dVN+lU6wAgYJkUhsuNvOSFnC9Op32scmrPg8pQ+ XTS5EsdaGMi1o+AefVnnoOvcLZxOoprkk1bIk6/gbD9fjGvS8zapgtvL22oXmQJt a2C0GvDa2/w= =Vmm6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --John Kelsey, Counterpane Systems, kelsey@counterpane.com PGP 2.6 fingerprint = 4FE2 F421 100F BB0A 03D1 FE06 A435 7E36
