A GRILLING AT THE WHITE HOUSE. [UPDATE: This is an obvious point, but perhaps I should have stated it explicitly. In light of the latest revelations, if this White House genuinely cared about national security and protecting the lives of our citizens, Rove would have resigned by this morning -- and Bush would have accepted his resignation. Moreover, [...] [The Light Of Reason] It turned out that the earlier report was correct: Rove was indeed the guilty party. Well, as I said before, I'm not at all surprised. I think it's been pretty obvious all along that he was either the leak himself, or had said,"Will no one rid me of this troublesome CIA agent?" to the leak. The question now is what will happen to him. Will it be nothing at all? Will he take full responsibility? Or will he feel our pain? Most likely the first, I suspect. 2:35:37 PM    comment () Security Risks of Street Photography. Interesting article on the particular art form of street photography. One ominous paragraph: More onerous are post-9/11 restrictions that have placed limits on photographing in public settings. Tucker has received e-mails from professionals detained by authorities for photographing bridges and elevated trains. "There are places where photographing people on the street may become illegal," observes Westerbeck. Sad. [Schneier on Security] Welcome to the Soviet Union. 1:09:11 PM    comment () Lately my TiBook has been acting up again. The hard drive checks out, so I think the problem is with the memory. After the last motherboard replacement it still has one DIMM slot with the flimsy plastic holders, so I wouldn't be too surprised if that slot is giving out. 12:22:29 PM    comment ()
