I have been so "bullied" but I fight back djf Begin forwarded message: From: Jordan Pollack <pollack () cs brandeis edu> Date: December 31, 2005 3:01:12 PM EST To: mary.shaw () cs cmu edu Cc: dave () farber net Subject: ip lurker bullies Hi Mary,Sorry to see you bullied. I've seen this exact kind of off-list email mind-control bullying repeatedly over several years on Jewish mailing lists and bulletin boards. If you spoke up against any israeli policy, say, the murder of Rachel Corrie, or the assassination of Sheik Yassin, the illegal expropriation of land, the destruction of olive groves and construction of a illegal border wall, etc., you became subject to a barrage of hateful email from angry and anonymous ultra-right-wing jews suggesting that you are a towel-head lover, that you should invite al quada terrorists into your house to rape your daughter. you could even get added to the self-hating-jew hit list http://www.masada2000.org/shit-list.html
Its good that you exposed this, but I wonder how many other people on IP are getting bullied by lurking trolls and not exposing it. Dave, it may be worth asking people if they have received similar nastygrams for items posted.

Probing Domestic Spying Leak Joe,You appear to be saying that it's treasonous to expose illegal acts by the government if those acts are carried out under the cloak of protecting usfrom our enemies.There seems to be something fundamentally broken about your model -- it has no way to curtail illegal activities by the government. The checks and balances provided for in the Constitution can't operate in this atmosphere, and the Constitution is what the government is supposed to be defending.The argument that the ends justify the means has long been suspect.

Probing Domestic Spying Leak You ask why Mary?? How about treason! Traitors who have disclosed information about an effective means with which to capture and destroy enemies of the US.Mary, in case you didn't know, Muslims are out there who want to kill you. I know it's hard for Liberals to accept this basis truth, but if you don't accept the fact that we are at war and that the NY Times and WashingtonPostare more interested in protecting the rights of our enemies than your lifeyoubetter order your burka outfit as you may soon be required to wear one.And yes Mary, the NYT and WP are traitorous.

Probing Domestic Spying Leak Dave, Why is the Justice Dept probing the leak rather than the domestic spying program itself? Or did I miss the announcement of the latter? Excerpted from http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=514&u=/ap/ 20051230/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/domestic_spying_probe_6 Mary ============================ Justice Dept. Probing Domestic Spying Leak By TONI LOCY, Associated Press Writer The Justice Department has opened an investigation into the leak of classified information about President Bush's secret domestic spying program, Justice officials said Friday. The officials, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the probe, said the inquiry will focus on disclosures to The New York Times about warrantless surveillance conducted by the National Security Agency since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. [[[snip]]] Revelation of the secret spying program unleashed a firestorm of criticism of the administration. Some critics accused the president of breaking the law by authorizing intercepts of conversations without prior court approval or oversight of people inside the United States and abroad who had suspected ties to al-Qaida or its affiliates.
