    Declan,
    
    Thanks for the post below regarding Cathy Young's piece on encryption that
    was originally written for the Boston Globe and recently posted on
    www.reason.com; I especially appreciate your ability to separate one piece
    by her from her larger body of work.
    
    Young is a highly valued and often controversial contributor to REASON, both
    in print and on line, and I'm happy to post her writings even when I
    disagree with her on a specific issue, including encryption and whether the
    threat of terrorism should shrink civil liberties.
    
    As you--and I trust many of your readers--know, I and other members of the
    REASON writing community consistently and adamantly argue in favor of
    unfettered encryption, freedom from government oversight, and maximum civil,
    personal, and economic liberties. For the unconvinced, I recommend a wider
    walk through our site and our print magazine (including our December issue,
    which features your contribution to a symposium about which civil liberties
    are most at risk in the government's new total war against terrorism).
    
    Please feel free to share this with your list.
    
    Yours,
    
    Nick
