The message was sent from "cypherpunks@toad.com" and signed
"Cypherpunks", which was highly inappropriate.
(Wasn't a bad message, but cypherpunks is a bunch of
individuals, it's not an anonymous collective...)

  Imagine if three million people voted for somebody they _knew_,
  and the politicians had to count them all.

The text of the message is from Vince Cate's arms-trafficker page.

	http://online.offshore.com.ai/arms-trafficker/

The page offers to send the message cc the president.  I presume
someone decided to forge a from line "cypherpunks@toad.com", and cc'd
to Herr Klinton.  (Unless the page would acheive this by entering this
as a from address of cypherpunks@toad.com in the box?)
