Ally Warned Bush on Keeping Spying From Congress
posted by coderman at 2006-07-10 21:06

coderman: SETEC ASTRONOMY
coderman: "In a sharply worded letter to President Bush in May, an important Congressional ally charged that the administration might have violated the law by failing to inform Congress of some secret intelligence programs and risked losing Republican support on national security matters."
coderman: "The letter from Representative Peter Hoekstra of Michigan, the Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, did not specify the intelligence activities that he believed had been hidden from Congress."
coderman: "But Mr. Hoekstra, who was briefed on and supported the National Security Agency's domestic surveillance program and the Treasury Department's tracking of international banking transactions, clearly was referring to programs that have not been publicly revealed."
coderman: I WONDER WHAT THEY ARE?
coderman: related to special collections, perhaps?
coderman: gives a little more context to the hayden nomination?
coderman: He added: "The U.S. Congress simply should not have to play Twenty Questions to get the information that it deserves under our Constitution."
Ash: KABOOM
coderman: "Mr. Hoekstra also expressed concern about the intelligence reorganization under John D. Negroponte, the first director of national intelligence, who he said was creating "a large, bureaucratic and hierarchical structure that will be less flexible and agile than our adversaries." -- smells like juicy fascism

coderman: "Platypus is a Firefox extension which lets you modify a Web page from your browser -- "What You See Is What You Get" -- and then save those changes as a Greasemonkey script so that they'll be repeated the next time you visit the page."

While it is also a non-scientific statement, this history of "unbreakable" cryptography is checkered

anomie: Other unbreakable things include Oracle, and your small child's new glasses.

on crypto systems from CTO PGP
posted by coderman at 2006-07-10 19:04

coderman: "Modern cryptographic systems are essentially unbreakable"
cryptomail: "The state of computer operational security is such that it makes much more sense to invest time, money, and effort into rootkits than into cryptanalysis."
coderman: until you boot from a little mini dvd-r read only and in your pocket every time you boot on trusted hardware. (that is, no public kiosks :)

WAS 9/11 A BLACK SWAN?

Terrifying explosion in New York blamed on suicide attempt

seti: Larry King: "I was on the 15th floor and I heard an explosion which I had never heard before. I thought of "9/11" and I saw people running. The only sound I've heard like this is in movies. It sounded like the bombing in London during World War II." I see the five years of incessant government fearmongering are still paying off

POLL - is modern crypto unbreakable via brute force or exotic factoring?
posted by coderman at 2006-07-10 17:28

coderman: the qubits are still small, which means humans still the preferred exploit vector
coderman: "As for quantum computing, a classmate of mine has endowed a center for quantum computing at Waterloo, using his RIM money. I asked him ecently how many q-bits they could do"
coderman: "he told me they had classified the answer."
coderman: "That could mean they are being overly paranoid in their classifications (quite likely) or that they have classified it because they wonder if the future answer will be military level"
coderman: SUB-POLL: will factoring breakthrough beat large qubit computers?

recruiting pressure brings neo-nazis into US military

est: "Ever since my youth -- when I watched WWII footage and saw how well-disciplined and sharply dressed the German forces were -- I have wanted to be a soldier," Fain said in a Winter 2004 interview with the National Alliance magazine Resistance. "Joining the American military was as close as I could get."
est: "Join only for the training, and to better defend yourself, our people, and our culture," Fain said. "We must have people to open doors from the inside when the time comes."
