Patty and I had dinner with my former phd student John Sobolweski and
his wife Carole last night.
John http://www.mhpcc.edu/general/john.html told us that the Air Force
is increasing reluctant to fund HPCERC when it needs money to maintain
its bases.
Times and technology have made the labs almost obsolete.
http://www.sandia.gov/
Pro Se Fights has better technology and media presence than DOE
http://198.124.130.244/ or the labs. And more important messages.
I hope you enjoy Jim Durham's comments. And are appalled by Carole
Gallagher's!
Durham retired and lives in McMinnville, OR. But he's on Internet!
Morales came to our home yesterday. We did some stratic legal planning
and I showed him our web SITES.
We are going to post crooked judge bios tomorrow.
Let's all hope for settlement. Morales and I would like to other
things.

<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="Times Roman" COLOR="#000000"> security forces, according
to a former inspector responsible for the operation.</FONT>
<P ALIGN=Left>
Scott Ritter, who resigned in anger from the U.N. inspection effort last
August, said the inspections chief, Australian Richard Butler, ordered him
to place the device in Baghdad in mid-July 1998, despite Ritter's objections.
The device was disguised to look like an office safe, and occupied a corner
of <FONT SIZE=3 FACE="Times Roman" COLOR="#000000"> Ritter's work- space
in Baghdad, according to Ritter.</FONT>
<P ALIGN=Left>
<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="Times Roman" COLOR="#000000">Ritter said the
information</FONT> gathered by the device between July and December of last
year, when it was removed by departing U.N. inspectors, was controlled solely
by the United States during his tenure as an inspector. He said the U.S.
targeted conversations between high-level Iraqi officials, and did not use
the device to find Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, which was the mission
of the U.N.'s Special Commission on Iraq, or UNSCOM.<BR>
<BR>
<BASEFONT SIZE=3> <FONT SIZE=3 FACE="Times Roman" COLOR="#000000"> "What
Butler did was allow the U.S. to take over," Ritter said. "I wrote him a
memorandum </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Times Roman" COLOR="#000000"> objecting.
</FONT> <FONT SIZE=3 FACE="Times Roman" COLOR="#000000"> He told me that
he respected what I was saying, but that he had received assurances from
the U.S. that they wouldn't misuse the information. Of course, they
have."</FONT></BASEFONT>
<P ALIGN=Left>
Butler, UNSCOM's executive chairman, declined to comment on Ritter's account
directly, saying a statement issued by his office earlier Friday adequately
addresses the growing controversy over the listening device and allegations
that the U.S. government used UNSCOM as cover for its own spying operations
in Iraq.
<P ALIGN=Left>
"At no point have I given authorization to place any part of UNSCOM's operation
under the con trol of the United States or any other supporting government,"
said the statement by Butler, who met Fri day with Peter Burleigh, the acting
U.S. ambassador to the U.N., to discuss the device and under whose authority
it operated.
<P ALIGN=Left>
Any public discussion of U.S. intelligence-gathering means and technologies
is rare; they are the government's most closely guarded secrets. Thus, the
Clinton administration's acknowledgement of the Baghdad black box provides
a rare glimpse of the United States' high- tech spying capabilities.
<P ALIGN=Left>
The device, U.S. officials said, "covered" frequencies used by Iraq's secretive
Special Security Organization, which protects Hussein and his most lethal
weapons.
<P ALIGN=Left>
<BASEFONT SIZE=3> <FONT SIZE=3 FACE="Times Roman" COLOR="#000000"> The device
inserted in Baghdad was ostensibly intended to help U.N. inspectors uncover
Iraqi attempts to conceal armaments, weapons making material and key military
and scientific documents. U.S. officials said that data was then transmitted
by satellite to the <B>National Security Agency</B>, based at Ft. Meade,
Maryland, near Washington, to be processed.</FONT></BASEFONT>
<P ALIGN=Left>
Bitter said he objected to the U.S. having sole control over information
gathered by the device, but that Butler disagreed and ordered him to install
the equipment. Initially, an assistant recruited by litter for warded the
data to a satellite, which then transferred it to the United States for
translation and analysis, Ritter said. In late September, the U.S. modified
the device to allow automatic data transfer to the satellite, Ritter said.
<P ALIGN=Left>
U.S. officials have confirmed that the device was placed in Baghdad, but
denied that the information it gathered was solely the province of the Central
Intelligence Agency and <B>National Security Agency</B>, which is responsible
for gathering and decoding communications.
<P ALIGN=Left>
"The material that came out of it was restricted at UNSCOM's request," said
a U.S. official who asked not to be named. "Only a few senior (UNSCOM) folks
saw it and had access to it."
<P ALIGN=Left>
The official also said U.S. intelligence agencies retained data that
<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="Times Roman" COLOR="#000000">were gathered by the
device it<I> </I> </FONT> <FONT SIZE=3 FACE="Times Roman" COLOR="#000000">
was mostly tactical stuff by its nature," the official said, "and real ly
of greatest value to UNSCOM."</FONT>
<P ALIGN=Left>
Controversy over the listening device erupted earlier this week, when The
Boston Globe. and The Washington Post reported U.S. involvement in the
eavesdropping in Baghdad and U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan's apparent
concern that Butler and UNSCOM had over stepped their authority working to
closely with U.S. intelligence agencies.
<P ALIGN=Left>
<BASEFONT SIZE=3> <FONT SIZE=3 FACE="Times Roman" COLOR="#000000"> Through
the week, a defensive Butler vehemently denied that UNSCOM had taken part,
wittingly or not, in spying. His early denials, however, raised even more
doubts when U.S. officials confirmed the device's use.</FONT></BASEFONT>
<P ALIGN=Left>
Iraq has long accused UNSCOM of being a tool of the United States, and
specifically charged that Ritter was an American spy. Nizar Hamdoon, Iraqi
envoy to the United Nations, said the controversy "is probably a good sign
that Butler has to go."
<P ALIGN=Left>
Iraq and its supporters on the U.N. Security Council, such as Russia and
France, have stepped up their calls for Butler's resignation and the
reorganization of UNSCOM to make it less intrusive. Weapons inspections have
halted since last month's U.S. bombing raids against Iraq.
<P ALIGN=Left>
Intelligence gathered by United Nations members states has been a key component
of the seven-year effort by UNSCOM to uncover and destroy Iraq's chemical,
biological and nuclear weapons, as well as its missiles. Ritter said UNSCOM
had struck confidential intelligence- sharing agreements with five key nations,
including the U.S., Britain and Israel
<P ALIGN=Left>
Though it agreed to allow the destruction of its weapons of mass destruction
after signing a cease-fire in the 1991 Persian Gulf war, Iraq has made the
disruption of the work of UNSCOM inspectors into an art form.

on the future of the oil embargo and arms inspections in Iraq in the wake
of the U.S. and British airstrikes last month. Albuquerque Journal

[S]py agencies are also dabbling in hacker warfare. The National Security
Agency, along with top-secret intelligence units in the Army, Air Force,
has been researching ways to infect enemy computer systems with particularly
virulent strains of software viruses that already plague home and office
computers. Another type of virus, the logic bomb, would remain dormant in
an enemy system until a predetermined time, when it would come to life and
begin eating data. Such bombs could attack, for example, a nation's air-defense
system or central bank. The CIA has a clandestine program that would insert
booby-trapped computer chips into weapons systems that a foreign arms
manufacturer might ship to a potentially hostile country - a technique called
"chipping". In another program, the agency is looking at how independent
contractors hired by arms makers to write software for weapons systems could
be bribed to slip in viruses. "You get into the arms manufacturer's supply
network, take the stuff off-line briefly, insert the bug, the let it go to
the country," explained a CIA source who specializes in information technology.
"When the weapons system goes into a hostile situation, everything about
it seems to work, but the warhead doesn't explode."<BR>
<BR>
Weapons may be even more exotic than computer viruses. Los Alamos National
Laboratory in New Mexico has developed a suitcase-sized device that generates
a high-powered electromagnetic pulse. Commandos could sneak into a foreign
capitol, place the EMP suitcase next to a bank and set it off. The resulting
pulse would burn out all electronic components in the building. ...
