NSA Create Spyware, Release to Targets

U.S. President, George W. Bush, has defended his position of wiretapping and other privacy-sensitive actions however, the details are entirely unknown.

The U.S. government says their secret spyware application is likely the most classified application to exist in the current administration.

“The clues are piling up that vacuum-cleaner style dragnets are what’s at issue, perhaps they’ve pointed the NSA vacuum cleaner straight into all U.S.-based international telecommunications.” says co-founder of the EFF, John Gilmore.

Mr. Gilmore went on to say, it’s quite probable they have built a database of every international phone call in/out of the United States and automated capture of emails, or at least their headers.

2. I'm looking into Freenet...


http://freenetproject.org/index.php?page=whatis

Freenet is free software which lets you publish and obtain information on the Internet without fear of censorship. To achieve this freedom, the network is entirely decentralized and publishers and consumers of information are anonymous. Without anonymity there can never be true freedom of speech, and without decentralization the network will be vulnerable to attack.

Communications by Freenet nodes are encrypted and are "routed-through" other nodes to make it extremely difficult to determine who is requesting the information and what its content is.
