He's *supposed to* raise eyebrows and push taste limits. That White House spokespeople would respond to the Bill Maher show as if it were Front Line or All Things Considered says a lot to me about how knee-jerk, hyperactive and irrational things are getting inside the Beltway due to recent events and concomitant pressures. Several deep breaths are in order, methinks. -- Stanton McCandlish mech () eff org http://www.eff.org/~mech Technical Director/Webmaster Electronic Frontier Foundation voice: +1 415 436 9333 x105 fax: +1 415 436 9993 EFF, 454 Shotwell St. San Francisco CA 94110 USA
