Aimee, that's high praise, you know. :)

I believe that as a matter of principle, there is no difference between
what I do in my articles and what John Young does on cryptome.org. Both
of us *should* be treated by the law as professional journalists.

However, I also recognize that the law will likely not see things that
way, at least not yet.
