US Judge Rules Defendant Can Be Forced To Decrypt Hard Drive

A Commentor writes "Perhaps to balance the good news with the Supreme Court ruling on GPS, a judge in Colorado has ordered a defendant to decrypt her hard drive. The government doesn't have the capability to break the PGP encryption, and 'the Fifth Amendment is not implicated by requiring production of the unencrypted contents' of the defendant's computer."

    Pay no attention to the Koch behind the curtain...

    At least the Koch brothers aren't former unapologetic Nazi collaborators and haven't played a key role in 6 past and ongoing international financial/currency collapses and 8 regime collapses like the Liberal/Progressive Democrat contributor George Soros who funds and/or controls dozens of groups on the left.

    This Koch brothers hysteria is nothing but those on the left attempting to find someone...anyone...on the right that's anywhere near the "rich evil genius" equal of the left's George Soros. In terms of harm done and general evilness, Soros makes Bernie Madoff look like a piker. The Koch brothers don't even show up on the radar at Soros' level of evil.
