Am I the only one that's struck by the similarity between the propaganda
about the Waco massacre and the propaganda preceding the Persion Gulf
massacre?
[For those who don't know, a good deal of the stories about Iraqi
attrocities were totally manufactured. Read "Second Front" (author
last name "Truman", I believe) for an account from a reporter's
perspective of how the Pentagon manipluated stories and therefore
public opionion]

[Not obviously C'punk related, but it really is: we must understand the
propaganda machine that the US government has working for it if we
hope to oppose them successfully on crypto issues]
