Phil Zimmermann's "Silent Circle" crypto system

Their mention of connections to their "Silent Network" raises a red
flag immediately for me. If it isn't completely peer to peer (and
completely open source), I would likely not be interested for an
application of this sort. I find the militaristic tie-ins at least
problematic as well -- that is, the NAVY Seals connections. I'll
certainly wait for the details, but this seems a bit strange on its
face.
