02/10/2004 02:51 AMJane Black at Businessweek Online reports that more than half of the
states that signed up for the MATRIX law-enforcement database have
quit it. The Multistate Anti-Terrorism Information Exchange lets the
police draw on multiple databases to create instant dossiers on, well,
anyone they want. Here are Jane's conclusions: There's no doubt that
MATRIX raises privacy red flags, though after an extensive briefing by
the Florida Law Enforcement Dept., which is spearheading the project,
I believe that it's little more than an efficient way to query
multiple databases. The real furor over MATRIX demonstrates something
much more important — and...

To implement this exit strategy, we will have to practice
running quickly. It is further recommended that, while running, the
eyes be cast down, to avoid witnessing any last-minute people trying
to kill us. We will have to establish excellent communications so that
the moment that final person begins dying, we can all begin running
quickly at the same time, eyes cast down, quickly, to our vehicles, to
get to the airport and get out of the country.

Of course the Iraqis, or more precisely, the Iraqi Arabs would be none
too keen on it, but there is a good chance they will already be too
involved in civil war by then to have much energy for re-taking a
well-defended Kurdistan.

Exit Interviews by Gallup
Exit Interviews by Gallup
03/13/2003 10:14 AMMarybeth is skeptical
about a call she got from Gallup, ostensibly to conduct an exit
interview about her leaving MSFT. It could very well be
legitimate. I blogged about
this two years ago, and I still think it's a good idea; especially
in cases like Marybeth's, where the employee is otherwise hesitant to
be candid.
On the other hand, just because someone has your phone number and
claims to be from Gallup doesn't necessarily mean that they are
legitimate. Not everyone who cold calls me at home is a criminal
running a scam, but I don't feel like I've missed out on anything
special by acting as if they are.
~
Marybeth's story and some of the responses in blogland have spurred
me to collect my thoughts on the topic of "difficult work
situations". I've written about the subject here in the past,
but would like to post something more comprehensive. Hopefully
soon...

05/04/2004 09:00 PMVietnam and Farewell
Vietnam and Farewell
12/19/2004 03:40 PMThanks, again, for all the terrific comments on the O'Reilly show.
I've learned a lot from them. I may write an op-ed about the
experience. But for now, a few words about Vietnam.
By the time we got to 1968, it was no longer possible to imagine a
criminal prosecution of Gene McCarthy for opposing the war.
Constitutional law and American culture had progressed to the point
that it would have been unthinkable for the Johnson or Nixon
administration to have treated antiwar leaders the way we once treated
people like Matthew Lyon, Clement Vallandigham and Eugene Debs. But
this doesn't mean the government couldn't find other ways to attack
dissent. Prosecutions for draft-card burning, flag burning, and the
public use of offensive language were frequently directed against
antiwar protestors, not because the "crimes" were worth punishing, but
because it was a way of "getting" those who offended government
officials.
More important, the government initiated an aggressive series of
undercover programs -- COINTELPRO ("counterintelligence programs)
designed to "expose, disrupt, and neutralize" the antiwar movement.
FBI agents and confidential informants infiltrated antiwar
organizations at every level to gather the names of those who opposed
the nation's policy. When all was said and done, the government had
compiled dossiers on half-a-million Americans. But the goal was not
just to create files. It was to act against those who had the temerity
to challenge the government.
The Nixon administration launched IRS audits of those who contributed
to antiwar organizations, the FBI sent letters to the landlords of
antiwar activists informing them that their tenant was a "Communist,"
it sent anonymous letters to colleges and universities accusing
antiwar activists of drug violations, it encouraged local police
agencies to arrest war opponents for traffic and other offenses, and
so on. The FBI also sent anonymous letters to members of antiwar
organizations accusing other members of embezzling the organization's
fund, sleeping with the partners of other members, and even being FBI
agents. The goal was to confuse, demoralize, distract, and discredit
those who opposed the war, without doing anything that could be seen.
None of this was known to the public until 1972.
Finally, a word about the Supreme Court. As we saw, in World War I,
the Court upheld the convictions of antiwar protestors under the
Espionage and Sedition Act. During World War II, the Court upheld the
Japanese internment in Korematsu v. United States. During the Cold
War, the Court in Dennis v. United States, decided in 1951, upheld the
convictions of the leaders of the Communist Party of the United States
on a charge that they had "conspired to advocate" the violent
overthrow of government. As Justice Douglas put the point at the time,
the Court had decided to "run with the wolves."
This is not a very happy record. Indeed, the conventional wisdom is
that the Supreme Court will never resist the executive branch in
wartime. This is overstated. During World War II, the Court held
unconstitutional the efforts of the Roosevelt administration to deport
American fascists; during the second half of the Cold War the Court
took a strong stand against McCarthyism; during the Vietnam War, the
Court rejected the Nixon administration's effort to enjoin the
publication of the Pentagon Papers and rejected its claim that it had
a constitutional power to engage in national security wiretaps without
a warrant. Most recently, the Court rejected the extreme claims of the
Bush administration with respect to the rights of the Guantanamo Bay
detainees and the rights of American citizens held as "enemy
combatants" by the United States military. We should not expect too
little of the Supreme Court.
Ultimately, though, the protection of civil liberties depends on an
informed, determined, and courageous public. As Louis Brandeis once
observed, "courage is the secret of liberty." May you all have the
courage of your convictions.
As Larry said when he introduced me, this is my virgin blog. It was
great fun for me, and I hope he'll invite me back again sometime. I
wish you all a happy and healthy New Year.
