Cryptome “welcomes documents for publication that are prohibited by governments worldwide, in particular material on cryptology,
dual-use technologies, national security and intelligence — open, secret and classified documents — but not limited to those. In
particular, now that the US Congress adopted an official secrets act on October 12, 2000, increasing penalties for disclosing
government secrets, Cryptome invites those secrets for publication here.” Follow your Echelon and Carnivore concerns here. For example, a recent wire service report claiming that “the FBI’s controversial e-mail surveillance tool, known as Carnivore, can retrieve all communications that go through an Internet service, far more than FBI officials have said it does, a recent test of its potential sweep found, according to bureau documents” is refuted with a bit of back-of-the-napkin calculation here.
