And with the U.S. economy faltering, such a move could further damage already wounded businesses. http://www.siliconvalley.com/docs/news/tech/073704.htm U.S. could wage cyberwar against bin Laden U.S. officials mobilizing to freeze the financial assets of international terrorist Osama bin Laden may resort to cybermethods, such as hacking, to cut off the money supply that has been used to finance his terrorist activities, including the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, of which he is the prime suspect. http://www.usatoday.com/life/cyber/tech/cw2.htm U.S. antiterrorism efforts to include Internet The United States' war against terrorism will be fought through unconventional means that will include the Internet, Sen. Robert Bennett, R-Utah, said on Friday, even as he added that President Bush's Thursday night address to the nation was likely to minimize any risks of cyberwarfare by terrorists. http://www.govexec.com/dailyfed/0901/092101td1.htm DOJ: Tech needed to fight terrorism The U.S. Department of Justice wants its wiretapping and other surveillance capabilities vastly expanded, with the Internet and other modern communications technologies among the targets of the government's new war on terrorism, according to experts who are familiar with a new Department of Justice proposal. http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2813652,00.html Lawmaker Wants Cybersecurity In Anti-Terrorism Plans The co-chairman of the Congressional Internet Caucus said today that he would urge the newly appointed Director of Homeland Security to address the threat of electronic attacks as a part of any national plan aimed at combating terrorism. http://www.newsbytes.com/news/01/170385.html Bush Seeks to Ease Spy Laws President's sweeping anti-terrorism bill would overhaul legislation dealing with wiretapping, eavesdropping, and immigration. As part of his war on terrorism, President Bush has asked Congress for a complete overhaul of US surveillance and immigration rules that would give law enforcement officials expanded privileges to spy on phone calls, the Internet, and voicemail messages. http://www.techtv.com/news/politicsandlaw/story/0,24195,3349081,00.html Lawmaker calls for more Internet encryption, not less. A U.S. lawmaker well-versed in technology issues said Friday that government bodies and citizens should use more encryption, not less, to increase security on the Internet. In the wake of last Tuesday's hijackings that left more than 6,500 Americans dead or missing, policymakers have called for limits on popular encryption software that allows users to scramble Internet communications for privacy. http://www.siliconvalley.com/docs/news/tech/037916.htm http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-200-7249721.html Congress To Ban Encryption of E-mail? http://www.antionline.com/showthread.php?threadid=3D112952 Research slaps crypto-banning Feds While America's own fundamentalists - led by US Attorney General John Ashcroft - prepare the most draconian assault on Americans' civil liberties since the second world war, their very own causus beli seems to be vanishing. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/21829.html Concern Over Proposed Changes in Internet Surveillance Significant and perhaps worrisome changes in the government's Internet surveillance authority have been proposed by legislators in the wake of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
