Salting Leaks and Releases by FOIA and Court
Suspend full belief in orchestrated leaks and releases by FOIA and courts of "classifed" material, lipsticked with redactions and withholdings. Gotten kind of stupid with hoo-hawing headlines about stuff no way to double-check. Pretense of redacting and withholding to protect sources and identities is formulaic. A swell deception operation is the openness about testing crypto, a boon to those who relish the free exposure, praise contributors, tut-tut concealing, never emphasizing long-standing practice of implanting backdoors, weaknesses and backstabbing comsec, infosec, above all natsec. Fair amount of that has been a characteristic of cypherpunks since its beginning, perhaps due to the Internet and Web design to do just that, SM and searches, porn and illursory anonymity, take your pick of belief and salting a con.
