U.S. Government Was Taking Photos of
Soldiers' Coffins

U.S. Government Was Taking Photos of
Soldiers' Coffins 04/23/2004 08:12 AM

There's a lot more to the story of the photos of coffins of the brave men and women who died in Iraq. As the New York Times reports today, the firing of the civilian contractor who gave such a picture to the Seattle Times only underscores government hypocrisy. As the Times article notes:

The firing underscored the strictness with which the Pentagon and the Bush administration have pursued a policy of forbidding news organizations to showing images of the homecomings of the war dead at military bases. They have argued that the policy was put in place during the first war in Iraq, and that it is simply an effort to protect the sensitivities of military families. Executives at news organizations, many of whom have protested the policy, said last night that they had not known that the Defense Department itself was taking photographs of the coffins arriving home, a fact that came to light only when Russ Kick, the operator of The Memory Hole, filed his request.

This just bolsters the claim that the only sensibilities being protected here are those of our political leaders who are willing for the sad images of this war to be public only after they've left office. They're not protecting the families. They're protecting themselves. The other lesson here is the way independent news operations like the Memory Hole are helping to reshape journalism. The little guy, once again, beat the rest of us.

Xeni Jardin: The Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation and is demanding records related to an indymedia.org post which expressed anti-RNC sentiment and listed the names of some 2,200 individual RNC delegates. More on indymedia's site here< /a>, and here's a snip from a related ACLU pre ss release:

In a letter sent today in response to a grand jury subpoena issued by the Secret Service, the American Civil Liberties Union and the New York Civil Liberties Union said they are representing a web hosting service and administrators of an independent media website regarding the anonymous posting of publicly available information about delegates to the Republican National Convention. The groups said the investigation is but the latest example of government agencies using law enforcement powers to chill free speech and intimidate protesters. (...) Beeson added that the posting did not include anything remotely threatening, but involved political speech fully protected by the First Amendment.

Secret Service Using Distributed
Computing to Break Encryption

Secret Service Using Distributed
Computing to Break Encryption 03/29/2005 02:55 PM

The Washington Post has an interesting story about how the Secret Service is using 4,000 of their computers in a Distributed network attack. The attack is to break passwords on encryption keys. We all know that getting software to encrypt our computers is simple and the software is powerful. Breaking into the encryption itself is not simple but the Secret Service has found that the real Achilles Heel of a suspect’s encrypted computer is their passwords. The Secret Service has found that by using all the emails and plain text documents they find on the suspect's computers, they can create a brute force word list that will normally find the password for the encryption in no time at all. Lesson learned? Create strong passwords unrelated to anything on your computer. Here is more from the article…

Hansen said AccessData has learned through feedback with its customers in law enforcement that between 40 and 50 percent of the time investigators can crack an encryption key by creating word lists from content at sites listed in the suspect's Internet browser log or Web site bookmarks. "Most of the time this happens the password is some quirky word related to the suspect's area of interests or hobbies," Hansen said.

Hansen recalled one case several years ago in which police in the United Kingdom used AccessData's technology to crack the encryption key of a suspect who frequently worked with horses. Using custom lists of words associated with all things equine, investigators quickly zeroed in on his password, which Hansen says was some obscure word used to describe one component of a stirrup.

Secret Service interrogate 15-year-old
for making forbidden art 04/27/2004 11:43 AM
A teenager drew some anti-war posters that were critical of Bush's policies, and his art teacher alerted school administrators, who in turn called the police. The cops went to the feds, and the Secret Service questioned the boy about his art.

The drawing that drew the most attention showed a man in what appeared to be Middle Eastern-style clothing, holding a rifle. He also was holding a stick with the oversize head of President Bush on it. The student said the head was enlarged because it was intended to be an effigy, Cravens said. The caption called for an end to the war in Iraq.
