News: Bill Moyers Journal – Rev Jeremiah Wright

Bill Moyers Journal - Rev Jeremiah Wright

Bill Moyers interviews the Reverend Jeremiah Wright in his first broadcast interview with a journalist since he became embroiled in a controversy for his remarks and his relationship with Barack Obama. Wright, who retired in early 2008 as pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, where Senator Obama is a member, has been at the center of controversy for comments he made during sermons, which surfaced in the press in March.

News: FBI’s Net surveillance proposal raises privacy, legal concerns

The FBI director and a Republican congressman sketched out a far-reaching plan this week for warrantless surveillance of the Internet.

During a House of Representatives Judiciary Committee hearing, the FBI’s Robert Mueller and Rep. Darrell Issa of California talked about what amounts to a two-step approach. Step 1 involves asking Internet service providers to open their networks to the FBI voluntarily; step 2 would be a federal law forcing companies to do just that.

Both have their problems, legal and practical, but let’s look at step 1 first. Issa suggested that Internet providers could get “consent from every single person who signed up to operate under their auspices” for federal police to monitor network traffic for attempts to steal personal information and national secrets. Mueller said “legislation has to be developed” for “some omnibus search capability, utilizing filters that would identify the illegal activity as it comes through and give us the ability to pre-empt” it.

These are remarkable statements. The clearest reading of them points to deep packet inspection of network traffic–akin to the measures Comcast took against BitTorrent and to what Phorm in the United Kingdom has done, in terms of advertising–plus additional processing to detect and thwart any “illegal activity.” (See the complete transcript here.)
