Ron Paul, R-Texas, in a letter last week told the FBI that he is concerned about the bureau's refusal to provide information about the existence of a computer and e-mail surveillance plan dubbed "Magic Lantern." In the letter, provided to the Politech mailing list by Paul's legislative director Norman Singleton, the Congressman asked FBI Director Robert Mueller to hand over information on the keystroke monitoring program, "or provide me with written justification for the FBI's refusal to share information on this crucial issue." Paul asked for a response within two weeks. "If ... media reports are accurate, the Magic Lantern project could greatly impact the privacy and civil liberties of all Americans who communicate via e-mail," Paul said. "Recently, my legislative director attempted to obtain information on this project from the FBI and was told such information was classified. Considering the potential impact of Magic Lantern, I am sure you can understand why I was disturbed by this refusal." Media reports have said that the FBI could distribute Magic Lantern the same way worms thread through the Internet, which would eliminate the need for law enforcement to physically install monitoring programs on suspect's computers. Privacy advocates are concerned that a program such as Magic Lantern could help the FBI circumvent the normal process of subjecting to a court's oversight when using surveillance tools. FBI officials had no immediate comment on the letter. ------------------ http://all.net/ Your use of Yahoo! Groups is subject to http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/
