I love April 19th. Patriot's Day, indeed... <http://www.overland.net/~embthert/em03019.html> Cheers, Bob Hettinga ----------------- Robert Hettinga (rah@shipwright.com), Philodox e$, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston, MA 02131 USA "...Wells Fargo's on-line banking sucks dead gerbils through a dirty garden hose." -- Eric Murray The e$ Home Page: http://www.shipwright.com/
A group of the Texan forces just invaded the home of one of their neighbors, taking the couple there as "Prisoners of War". The man was injured by glass, and has been treated. They apparently haven't gotten along for quite a while, and a number of the neighbors were starting to get worried about the Republicans. The house they attacked is a heavy-duty adobe home. The radio said the Republicans have been communicating with the outside world, and that the normal practice in this case was to cut the phone wires; didn't say if the Republicans had the sense to bring a cell-phone or CB with them when they attacked, but you'd hope an Internet-savvy group would :-) To add some Cypherpunks content, this is one application for which the pre-paid phone-card cellphones are a big win; if you've got an account-based system, it's much easier for the Government to ask the phone company what the suspects' phone number is and order them to shut it down. But card-systems would have to be traced from phone calls (very hard) or picked up with scanners. Some other parts of the Republic have denounced this action. Invading a government building would have been one thing, but attacking civilian non-combatants is distinctly against the rules of "civilized" warfare... # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, +1-415-442-2215 stewarts@ix.netcom.com # You can get PGP outside the US at ftp.ox.ac.uk/pub/crypto/pgp # (If this is a mailing list, please Cc: me on replies.
