[summary]
 New York Times Magazine, April 14
 .. A piece describes how the government enlisted
 Silicon Valley to take away your privacy: In the
 future, government agencies will put all their
 information about you into a single database, the
 way credit card companies do to detect fraud. The
 techies are forging ahead, leaving privacy issues to
 the politicians, while the politicians are keeping
 their hands out of it because they don't understand
 the technology

 End of Their Rope

       By Steven Brill
 NEWSWEEK  
 [exerpts] 
       April 15 issue --  If pretrial hearings and
 the court papers exchanged so far are any
 indication, "American Taliban" John Walker Lindh
 seems destined to join a long roster of infamous
 defendants in famous cases who prove that the
 American legal system often won't give the bad guys
 the punishment most people think they deserve. 
 [...] 
 	These defense claims look even worse for the
 government because the FBI appears to have violated
 its own internal guidelines for interrogation by not
 getting Lindh to sign a statement or make a video-
 or audiotape of his supposedly more damning
 confession. The [defemse] lawyers will argue that
 the Feds could have neglected these basics in such
 an important case only if Lindh had refused to sign
 such a statement, or if a tape would have made his
 confession seem less incriminating than their
 accounts of it contend. (FBI spokeswoman Tracy
 Silberling says she cannot comment on anything
 having to do with the circumstances of Lindh's
 interrogation. A Justice Department source with
 knowledge of the case says that the FBI’s handling of
the interrogation—which, he claims, Justice “did not
know about fully when we indicted” is “baffling,
frustrating ... They were out of the >country in
unusual circumstances ... Yes, it will hurt us.”)
