These days you really have to wonder what evil is being cooked up and/ or being implemented in the name of "homeland security' -- sounds like "please trust us" is being used again to quickly get controversial things enacted w/o public scrutiny. True or not, I wouldn't put anything past anyone these days..........and perhaps some informed paranoia is warranted here given the INSANE levels of security associated with the National Cybersecurity Initiative. .....Now, I can understand secrecy to protect sources and methods, but my gut-check tells me the INSANE levels of hush-hush over this "sweeping cybersecurity initiative" likely is to cover up another suspect and potentially-illegal public-private powergrab in the name of 'security' as done so frequently by this Administration. -- but is there a connection between what I suggest here and Lessig's comments? You be the judge. I hope I'm wrong, but we've been fooled/tricked/cajoled/ scared/lied-to enough in the past to be a bit concerned. -rf < - > http://www.infowars.net/articles/august2008/050808i911.htm Law Professor: Counter Terrorism Czar Told Me There Is Going To Be An i-9/11 And An i-Patriot Act Stanford Law professor Lawrence Lessig details government plans to overhaul and restrict the Internet Steve Watson Infowars.net Tuesday, August 5, 2008 < - > http://www.infowars.net/articles/august2008/050808i911.htm ------------------------------------------- Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
