How could they possibly not have enough evidence to prove their case? Every Monday and Thursday nights the boys and girls of CSI* have done so much more, with much less. "Hmmm, this is either the remnants of a Bavarian Dung Beetle, or we've had an encounter with the heretofor theoretical quark matter. Quick, back to the lab!"
Since Bush has been in office, funding meetings for these labs with the DOE (Dept. of Energy) in Washington have turned up dry.
Maybe it's just the timing here. What if Gore had been in office when 9/11 happened? Well, besides the fact that we would have still been talking about doing something, as opposed to actually doing it I mean. Perhaps the funding has dried up simply because the funds have been redirected to other areas, such as defense. Priorities have to be made, and someone has to suffer a lack of resources. If it's Lawrence Livermore they work for, then maybe if they stopped losing $1 million plus worth of equipment, they could get budget for an airplane trip to DC.;-)
..was the "I can't reveal his address, but here's how to get it" line. Nice touch.
Seriously, when are we going to get some legislation to help fight spammers? We have an operations team of about 10 people. At any given time, at least one of them is cleaning out the mail relays, blocking spammers, etc. Over the course of a year, these resources dedicated to fighting spam (say that in a real deep voice and you can sound like a spam fighting superhero!) add up to some insane number of dollars that we have to spend, just to keep afloat. I don't care what software yo u have to help you out, "SpamAssasin" etc, there has to be human intervention at some level.
I say we get a senator, teach him how to muck with sendmail, and sit him in front of a mail relay console for a week fighting spam, then see how they feel about spam.

"Stealth Spam", also known as the "net send" command. True genius.
