Our POW/MIA Flag
Without you, Sirs, who would raise
Our Old Glory at Iwo Jima
The American flag, red like the victorious sun
White like the clouds that lift your wings
Blue as the deep, infinite skies.
Without you, Sirs, who would protect our country,
Safekeeping America's air, lands, and seas;
It'9s our land of the free and home of the brave.
Let man forget not
You are the heart of this country
Past, Present, and Future
You are the heartbeats
That keep the soul of our Old Glory alive.
You are the POW/MIA flag...

A report issued by the General Accounting Office details how armed
investigators breached security at several government installations
using phony IDs and credentials purchased off the Internet. At the
Pentagon, CIA, Justice Department, FBI, State Department and 14 other
agencies investigators where able to gain access to the buildings
without being searched and often times being waived past security
checkpoints.

"I think any time you expose vulnerabilities it's a good thing," said
Attorney General Janet Reno. Her comment was directed to investigators
who posed as false security agents to gain access to supposedly secure
government buildings. How does 'exposing vulnerabilities' go from good
in the real world to bad in the cyber world?

A single charge of using the internet to send extortion threats has been
filed against Rob Holcomb. Via his e-mails to Audible Inc., a New Jersey
based company
which sells on line books, the 36 year old graduate student of Colorado
State University claimed to have found a way to download the books for
free
and would not reveal the system's weakness except in exchange for money,
a car and unlimited free download of the company's content. Audible
contacted the police who traced the alleged perpetrator after he gave
the company a mailing address and phone number at the school. Holcomb
could face up to two years in prison and a $100,000 fine.

Judge Kaplan has ruled that the law firm Frankfurt, Garbus, Klein & Selz
can continue to represent 2600 in their battle against Time Warner and
the other plaintiffs over the posting of the DeCSS code. The plaintiffs
had argued that due to the firms representation of Time Warner in other
matters it would be a conflict of interest to represent 2600. The Judge
disagreed.
