Translation: Don't deny us this tool or you'll be blamed for us not catching terrorists." See also an Infoworld article. We have several previous stories on the Scarfo case.

Yeah, and this is supposed to be a Word Processor, a jewel in the crown of OSS. Hello People! Remove heads from asses!
And so. Have you ever conducted any criminal activity or spoken out in favor of a revolution against the United States Government? You think they really care about your concerns?
