If this summary is any indication of the content, the author of this
paper likely has no idea about how information and knowledge is
developed in modern society.   Will read over the weekend.    -- rick

"An SAIC analyst has written a paper [PDF] calling for the
'stigmatization' of the 'unattractive' types who tend to discuss
government secrets in public. The plan, described in the Naval
Postgraduate School Homeland Security Affairs journal, is to promote
self-censorship as a 'civic duty'. Who needs to censor themselves?
Amateur enthusiasts who describe satellite orbits, scientists who
describe threats to the food supply, graduate students mapping the
internet, the Government Accountability Office, which publishes
failure reports on the TSA, the US Geologic Survey, which publishes
surface water information, newspapers (the New York Times), TV shows,
journalism websites, anti-secrecy websites, and even security author
Bruce Schneier, to name a few."
