[Promotum] Interesting Crypto speech

[Edmund A. Hintz]

Stolen from /., a rather long but also witty and sarcastic look at the 
crypto wars. Does a good job of making both the geeks and the spooks look 
stupid. ;-)  Sterling's a scifi writer, he made the speech at "Global 
Challenges, Trends and Best Practices in Cryptography," the Information 
System Security and Education Center, Washington, DC 11-20-01. Fun read 
sure to provoke talk 'round the H2O cooler...
