-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Politech] Jim Harper: What was in the water at Markle Foundation task force meetings? [priv] Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2004 11:13:40 -0400 From: dan@private To: Declan McCullagh <declan@private> CC: politech@private, dan@private Declan, et al., There are two absolute requirements for effective terror, and they are (1) money and (2) comms. It is also flatly the case that if you have an enemy that can strike in a location independent fashion without identifying himself in the process, then your strategy must center on pre-emption. Pre-emption, to be effective, requires intelligence and intelligence requires surveillance. Thus it should be of zero surprise that the question of how badly we want to defeat terror should come down to our strategy for the surveillance of (1) money and (2) comms. --dan _______________________________________________ Politech mailing list Archived at http://www.politechbot.com/ Moderated by Declan McCullagh (http://www.mccullagh.org/)
