what a load of bullshit... that 9/11 thing seems to be the execuse for everything now ?
it was an terrorist act yet usa starts to invade any country that "could" be the home of those terrorist guys.
well its bad what happened and i dont support it at all, but its not the fault of some countries that 9/11 happened.
if bush keeps messing around like that, the whole world will hate him, but he doesnt care since he just invades any
country that seems to be trouble for him by making up false execuses. i think iran is next. look at those camps 
everywhere,
where people get locked up even if they are innocent. it reminds me of what my country did in ww2 ..really disgusting.
the sad thing is, that noone can do anything about it. everywhere around the world people are uppset about the u.s gov,
but non of them wants to step up. ah fuck it ..this has been discussed already a dozen times and no need to bring that 
in to the FD
list.
i just dont get what 9/11 has to do with the original topic, but as i said it seems to be the execuse for anything 
nowdays....
btw our company name has nothing to do with 911 :-P i wonder how many echelon sensors start to monitor this thread haha.

This is very nice, but obviously you were not standing in the dust of the WTC Sept 11.  I don't care if we NUKE them, 
let alone
hurting a few feelings state side. You are from Missouri so Show me the proof that any citizens' rights were violated 
other than the
liberal press stirring the soup again, or please keep your political paranoia to yourself.

BTW: Al Gore lost twice get over it.

the logistics and planning side of large criminal enterprise?

  A small editorial from your moderator. I rarely use this list to
  express a strong political opinion -- you will forgive me in this
  instance.

  This mailing list is putatively about cryptography and cryptography
  politics, though we do tend to stray quite a bit into security issues
  of all sorts, and sometimes into the activities of the agency with the
  biggest crypto and sigint budget in the world, the NSA.

  As you may all be aware, the New York Times has reported, and the
  administration has admitted, that President of the United States
  apparently ordered the NSA to conduct surveillance operations against
  US citizens without prior permission of the secret court known as the
  Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (the "FISC"). This is in clear
  contravention of 50 USC 1801 - 50 USC 1811, a portion of the US code
  that provides for clear criminal penalties for violations. See:

  http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode50/usc_sup_01_50_10_36_20_I.html

  The President claims he has the prerogative to order such
  surveillance. The law unambiguously disagrees with him.

  There are minor exceptions in the law, but they clearly do not apply
  in this case. They cover only the 15 days after a declaration of war
  by congress, a period of 72 hours prior to seeking court authorization
  (which was never sought), and similar exceptions that clearly are not
  germane.

  There is no room for doubt or question about whether the President has
  the prerogative to order surveillance without asking the FISC -- even if
  the FISC is a toothless organization that never turns down requests,
  it is a federal crime, punishable by up to five years imprisonment, to
  conduct electronic surveillance against US citizens without court
  authorization.

  The FISC may be worthless at defending civil liberties, but in its
  arrogant disregard for even the fig leaf of the FISC, the
  administration has actually crossed the line into a crystal clear
  felony. The government could have legally conducted such wiretaps
  at any time, but the President chose not to do it legally.

  Ours is a government of laws, not of men. That means if the President
  disagrees with a law or feels that it is insufficient, he still must
  obey it. Ignoring the law is illegal, even for the President. The
  President may ask Congress to change the law, but meanwhile he must
  follow it.

  Our President has chosen to declare himself above the law, a dangerous
  precedent that could do great harm to our country.  However, without
  substantial effort on the part of you, and I mean you, every person
  reading this, nothing much is going to happen.  The rule of law will
  continue to decay in our country. Future Presidents will claim even
  greater extralegal authority, and our nation will fall into
  despotism. I mean that sincerely. For the sake of yourself, your
  children and your children's children, you cannot allow this to stand.

  Call your Senators and your Congressman.  Demand a full investigation,
  both by Congress and by a special prosecutor, of the actions of the
  Administration and the NSA. Say that the rule of law is all that
  stands between us and barbarism. Say that we live in a democracy, not
  a kingdom, and that our elected officials are not above the law. The
  President is not a King. Even the President cannot participate in a
  felony and get away with it. Demand that even the President must obey
  the law.

  Tell your friends to do the same. Tell them to tell their friends to
  do the same. Then, call back next week and the week after and the week
  after that until something happens. Mark it in your calendar so you
  don't forget about it. Politicians have short memories, and Congress
  is about to recess for Christmas, so you must not allow this to be
  forgotten. Keep at them until something happens.


  Perry
