FBI Is Building a 'Magic Lantern' Stop Carnivore
Alan McDonald, a senior executive with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, says that "extremist" positions on electronic encryption are a threat to normal law enforcement and are elitist and nondemocratic. Insisting that the United States had remained true to the Constitution and to a system of ordered liberties, McDonald says: "When people don't know much about electronic surveillance, they are fearful of it. But when they know Congress passed laws and the Supreme Court reviewed them and that there are numerous constraints and procedures, then it makes sense to them. It seems rational and balanced."

In an August 1999 attack that has come to be known as “Moonlight Maze,” cyberwarriors from the Russian Academy of Sciences downloaded massive amounts of classified data from computer networks at the DOD and DOE, believed to include missile-guidance codes and nuclear-weapons data.

BUSH TO NAME MUELLER AS FBI HEAD
The media's double standard is glaringly evident in their reaction to the discovery that the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York was authorized to subpoena the home phone records of Associated Press reporter John Solomon for six days last May. The Justice Department was trying to find out who had leaked information to Solomon about a two-year-old wiretap on Senator Robert Torricelli, D- N.J., who is under investigation. Journalists' phone records can only be subpoenaed with the approval of the attorney general. In Solomon's case, the approval was given by Robert S. Mueller III, who acted in place of Attorney General Ashcroft, who had recused himself. Mr. Mueller has since been confirmed as the new director of the FBI.
