导弹国防批评发表

After an extended tug of war between the Pentagon and Congressman John F. Tierney (D-MA), a critique of the national missile defense program that the Defense Department tried to suppress has now been released to the public.

2000年8月的报告是由当时的运营测试和评估的导演菲利普·科伊尔（Philip Coyle）编写的，该报告对导弹辩护计划的错误和不切实际的测试不足。

"The Department of Defense has not approved the release of this report to the general public," wrote Stewart F. Aly, DoD Acting Deputy General Counsel in a May 31 letter to Rep. Dan Burton, Chairman of the House Government Reform Committee.

“因此,报告不应披露to persons other than Members of Congress and professional staff members who have an official need to see it," Mr. Aly continued. "We specifically request that you not post this report on any web sites."

But Democrats on the Government Reform Committee, led by Rep. Tierney, quickly determined that there was no legal justification for withholding the unclassified document. They have posted the full text of the Coyle report, with accompanying analysis and related correspondence, here:

FBI REBUTS GAO ON WEN HO LEE

联邦调查局助理董事尼尔·加拉格尔（Neil J. Gallagher）在一份报告中提出，他可能在一份报告中提出，他可能“故意”误导了关于Wen Ho Lee调查的证词。

加拉格尔先生在联邦调查局（FBI）于6月27日发表的一封信中承认，当他在1999年6月在国会作证时，他不知道行政询问中最初被任命为Wen Ho Lee的缺陷是可能的间谍活动嫌疑人。但是在辩护中，他指出，在他得知Wen Ho Lee调查的依据之后，他于1999年11月写信给国会，以纠正记录。

联邦调查局对Wen Ho Lee案的早期阶段的不断变化的理解记录在Gallagher先生的信中。在此处查看他对GAO评论的反驳：

ECHELON: RESOLUTION AND DISSENT

The European Parliament committee on the "Echelon" electronic surveillance network approved a resolution on July 3 summarizing the findings and conclusions of its year long investigation for consideration by the full Parliament in September. A copy of the resolution, obtained by Cryptome.org, is posted here:

Several members of the committee dissented from the resolution, and complained that it gave short shrift to personal privacy. They declared: "This report makes an important point in emphasizing that Echelon does exist, but it stops short of drawing political conclusions. It is hypocritical for the European Parliament to criticise the Echelon interception practice while taking part in plans to establish a European secret service." See:
