. . . . Two Democratic senators explain all.
. . . . Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota and
Sen. Bob Kerrey of Nebraska defined the term "encryption," while
discussing legislation to create secure public networks on the
Internet.
. . . . Mr. Daschle: "Encryption is the -- and Senator Kerrey
can do a lot better than I can -- but my definition of encryption
is to create a code by which sensitive information can be protected
on the Internet."
. . . . Mr. Kerrey: "Well, in answer to your question, encryption
is -- the political equivalent of encryption is you ask me a
question and I give you an answer and you don't understand it;
I mean, I intentionally garble the answer."
. . . . Mr. Daschle: "Which happens frequently."
Refreshingly honest, for Democrats.
