Anthony Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, speaking Friday at a conference on information technology and homeland security at the University of California at Berkeley, said the government has "repeatedly made false statements about the Patriot Act, presumably to deceive listeners into thinking the act gives the government less unilateral power than it actually does."

Clark Presidential Bid Follow-up

Wired News: Clark's Run: Net Made Him Do It

Wired article reports on the use of the internet in bringing Clark around to running. Some interesting discussion of how it all went down and what it might do to the Dean campaign.

FYI, I like Dean quite a bit but I think Clark has a better chance in beating Bush (which has to be a main goal here).

I am waiting to see his stance on everything before making up my mind. I find it great that he thought that invading Iraq without the support of the UN was a mistake (before it happened).

P2P Voice over IP from the KaZaA folks

Another one that will probably ruffle some feathers (not the RIAA's) but instead the baby bells'. Not that this is the first nor will it be the last but KaZaA has a reputation and people will probably flock to it.

Haven't and probably won't use it (don't trust KaZaA) but I would like to use something open-source and similar. Hell, I will help in dev is someone wants to tackle a Java P2P VoIP client.
