It further states that,"...Energy Secretary Bill Richardson, whose department oversees the U.S.nuclear-weapons program, admitted that the administration has not been able to control the email that scientists at Los Alamos send to their foreign counterparts-a suspected source of some leaks..."<sigh> The implication seems to be that email is somehow the cause of the leaks -- rather than the DOE's loose-lipped nuclear-weapons scientists. Anyone want to bet that this won't be used as yet another lame guv'ment excuse to police, surveil and control net content in this, the former "Land of the free and home of the brave"? --jim, Jim Warren, jwarren () well com, GovAccess list-owner/editor/janitor 345 Swett Rd, Woodside CA 94062; 650-851-7075; fax-for-the-quaint/650-851-2814 - To add or drop GovAccess, email to Majordomo () well com ('Subject' ignored) with message: [un]subscribe GovAccess YourEmailAddress (insert your eaddr) For brief description of GovAccess, send MajorDomo the msg: info GovAccess
