Zimmermann, Encrypted VoIP, and Uncle Sam

An anonymous reader noted that Phillip Zimmermann and his VoIP encryption software are the subject of a NY Times article today. The article touches on the FCC, privacy, and related issues. Given all the suspicious behavior of the Bush Administration relating to wiretaps and phone records, this sort of thing is all the more important to be very aware of.

    But but but... Clinton had consensual sex with Monica Lewinsky and then lied about it.

    All Bush has done is lie about his reasons for invading Iraq and a bunch of other stuff, given huge amounts of public money to his friends and campaign contributors, put complete idiots into positions of great responsibility, ignored the sage advice of experts, and hailed proven incompetents as heroes.

    It's about time the Democrats learned about Values and Morality.

    "why should I pay any attention to these demands for urgency?"

    Why should anyone pay attention to a trolling imbecile like you?
