                     Declan's Capitol Letters
                     All About GOP Sites: Zzzzzzz 
                     Repubs are blasted, porn is
                     discussed with disgust, and some privacy
                     hypocrisy. From the first installment of
                     the bottom of Declan McCullagh's
                     Washington notebook.

                     Not Content With Aussie Law
                     by Stewart Taggart 

                     3:00 a.m.  11.Oct.99.PDT
                     SYDNEY, Australia -- The Australian
                     government's controversial online content
                     law will face twice-yearly reviews as a
                     method to monitor its effectiveness.

                     US Lines Up Y2K Defense
                     by Declan McCullagh 

                     7:50 a.m.  7.Oct.99.PDT
                     No matter whether Y2K turns out to be a
                     disaster of biblical proportions or a virtual
                     hoax, government disaster planners
                     believe they will be ready.

                     The Terror Without (a Clue)
                     by Declan McCullagh 

                     3:00 a.m.  8.Oct.99.PDT
                     TYSONS CORNER, VIRGINIA -- Contrary
                     to what the FBI seems to proclaim each
                     year around budget-approval time,
                     domestic terrorists may not be all that
                     bright or successful at what they do. 

Note:
                     "What makes them more difficult to
                     penetrate is the liberties we have in the
                     west.... These groups are expert at
                     exploiting these loopholes," Emerson said.
