"Forget threatening to bomb Afghanistan and the Taliban if they fail to
turn over Bin Laden to us.  Instead, let's threaten to gather up all of
their women and send them to college. In fact, why don't we do that
anyway?"

(PS. That's not really the flight number of any of the involved planes,
it's the latest net hoax ... - Adam.)

The tears have come in the kitchen, the car and the shower, too.

Like many Americans, Phil Zimmermann, a stocky, 47-year-old computer
programmer, has been crying every day since last week's terrorist attacks.
He has been overwhelmed with feelings of guilt.

Zimmermann is the inventor of a computer program called Pretty Good
Privacy, or PGP. He posted the tool for free on the Internet 10 years ago;
it was the first to allow ordinary people to encrypt messages so only
those with a "key" could read them. No government or law enforcement
agency has been able to get in.

People warned Zimmermann back then that he could be putting powerful
technology into the wrong hands. He knew that was theoretically possible,
but he also knew that the program could do good: His work created a way
for people in oppressed countries to communicate without fear of
retribution.
