FC: Out to 2/28; Freeh warns of encryption; ISPs turn sleuths

[Declan McCullagh <declan () well com>]

I will be in San Diego this weekend to speak at a convention and in 
Anguilla next week for the financial cryptography conference. I probably 
won't be checking email very frequently during that time.

Also, if Canadian politechnials are especially alert today (Thursday), I'll 
be on Canada AM live at 6:45 am.

Something I wrote Monday about the way network providers turned sleuths 
last week:

John Young was kind enough to put the list of participants in Tuesday's 
White House summit online:

And when he and Janet Reno showed up in a Senate hearing Wednesday, Louis 
Freeh used the DoS attacks as way to warn of encryption's dangers and say 
police need access to plaintext:
