- Matthew 10:8 :: New American Standard Bible (NASB)
1 “But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.
2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers
of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their
parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 without
love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,
4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—
5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with
them.
6 They
are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil
desires,
7 always learning but never able to acknowledge
the truth.
8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth--men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is
concerned, are rejected.
9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their
folly will be clear to everyone.”
- 2 Timothy
3:1-9 :: New International Version (NIV)
6 As he saith
also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
- Hebrews 5:6 :: King James Version (KJV)
Therefore, I say:
Know your enemy and know yourself;
in a hundred battles, you
will never be defeated.
When you are ignorant of the enemy but know yourself,
your chances of winning or
losing are equal.
If ignorant both of your enemy and of yourself,
you are sure to be defeated in
every battle.
-- Sun Tzu, The
Art of War, c.
500bc
There are two ends not to be served by a wanderer. What are
these two? The
pursuit of desires and of the pleasure which springs from desire, which is
base, common, leading to rebirth, ignoble, and unprofitable; and the pursuit of pain and
hardship, which is grievous, ignoble, and unprofitable.
- The Blessed One, Lord
Buddha

Too
much reliance on whistle-blowers
Nippon
Meat Packers, Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO)...the corporate scandals just
keep on coming, and in each case the problem has been brought to light by
internal whistle-blowers.
Writing
in Chuo Koron this month in an article titled "Reliance on Regulators
Ruins Corporations," former Bank of Japan Executive Director Tatsuya
Tamura begins by noting that lack of
compliance with regulations is a major issue in Japanese corporate management and identifies the
causes as (1) the vagueness of the link
between authority and responsibility and (2) dependence on favorable treatment
from bureaucrats.
The
Nippon Meat mislabeling scandal resulted in the resignation of the
founder-chairman, but Tamura insists that forcing
a top executive to take responsibility is just passing the buck.
Instead,
he says, we should be trying to analyze the process that allowed such
malfeasance to occur in the first place. In
the case of TEPCO's failure to report damage to a nuclear reactor, Tamura notes
that it may have been partly due to overly strict safety regulations, but a
bigger problem is that Japan retains many of
the old attitudes of a "village society" in which loyalty to the
group is valued above all else.
Unlike
Western society, Japanese culture has little appreciation for those who sound
the alarm at the group's expense, tending instead to view them as snitches.
Another
point the Nippon Meat and TEPCO incidents have in common is the behavior of the regulators, who turned a blind eye to
the companies' noncompliance until the scandals broke, at which point they
began pointing fingers.
Tamura
warns: "Corporations cannot survive
without a top executive willing to have everything out in the open, regardless
of what bureaucrats say or do." (Kyodo

Navy
Sites Spring Security Leaks
By
Brian McWilliams | Page 1 of 1

AM Nov. 06, 2002 PT
The
U.S. Navy took one of its websites offline Tuesday and added new security
controls to a second site after Internet surfers discovered they could access
confidential Navy databases.
The
exposed Navy files included material designed to support a machine for testing
the electronics of weapon systems called the Consolidated Automated Support
System. Web surfers were able to browse through hundreds of trouble tickets,
dating back to 1989.
Also
accessible by Internet users was a site operated by the Naval Supply Systems
Command that enables Navy personnel to order commercial software or internally developed
applications. One section of the database, known as QUADS, allowed visitors to
pull up records on who registered to use the system and included their
passwords.
A
group of French security enthusiasts known as Kitetoa discovered the vulnerable
sites, which were running IBM's Lotus Domino software. Kitetoa has reported
similar security problems with Lotus software on other government and private
websites.
A
spokesperson for the Navy's North Island Naval Air Depot said the CASS database
has been "shut down both internally and externally while we investigate
possible vulnerabilities."
A
NAVSUP representative declined to comment on the QUADS security flaw. After the
Navy was notified about the problem, the QUADS site began requiring users to
log in.
Both
Navy sites appeared to contain "noncritical support systems" and were
"not a military concern," said Brad Johnson, a former Navy officer
and National Security Agency program manager.
"This
is not the type of information (to which) the Navy would want to grant
unrestricted access, but it is not something that threatens our security,"
said Johnson, now a vice president of Vigilinx, a security solutions provider
in Parsippany, New Jersey.
Among
the trouble tickets viewable by Internet users was a report from an officer aboard an aircraft carrier who
noted unresolved problems with CASS systems overheating and malfunctioning
"while operating in arduous environments such as the Arabian gulf."
William
Knowles, operator of C4I.org, a computer security and intelligence site, said the Navy would view any intelligence leak as serious.
"Any
information not already discussed on either CNN or the Pentagon Daily Brief is
information that can be used by a motivated attacker-terrorist against U.S.
interests around the globe," Knowles
said.
The
current incidents follow news in October that more than 600 Navy computers --
including some containing classified information -- were missing.
In an
e-mail interview this week, Kitetoa founder Antoine Champagne wrote that a French appeals court recently overturned a ruling
requiring him to pay a fine for publicizing security holes he found at Tati.fr,
the homepage of a Paris-based clothing retailer.
According
to Champagne, who has also identified flaws at sites runs by DoubleClick, Bull
Groupe, Veridian and ChoicePoint, the ruling
is important for computer security whistle-blowers.
"You
can get to a page that is not supposed to be there for you, but that is
unprotected, without being called an evil hacker," Champagne wrote.

Who'll
protect the whistleblowers?
While
lawmakers in Washington pat themselves on the back for cooking up a massively
expensive and mostly cosmetic Homeland Security Department bill, many of the
real heroes of homeland security continue to suffer recriminations and
retaliation.
Border
Patrol agent Keith Olson, the arresting officer in Bellingham, Wash., who was responsible
for obtaining the fingerprints of illegal alien sniper suspect Lee Malvo last
December, has been the subject of two internal investigations during the past
three weeks. Instead of pinning a medal on his chest and giving Olson a raise
for taking the prints of Malvo that eventually led to his arrest in the
Washington, D.C., area killing spree, federal officials are conducting a probe
of his conduct.
Meanwhile,
Border Patrol agent Daryl Schermerhorn has been castigated by an INS higher-up
for publicly criticizing the decision by federal immigration authorities to
release Malvo and his illegal alien mother earlier this year pending
deportation proceedings.
On
Oct. 29, Schermerhorn, a Northwest regional union representative for Border
Patrol agents in
O'REILLY: Why were they happy to keep Malvo and his mother in the
country? Why?
SCHERMERHORN: Well, what's the price of an airplane ticket from
Seattle to Jamaica? That's why. The cost of housing them in jail until that
time, that's why. They're trying to save a few dollars. It's nothing new for
the INS to release criminals onto the streets and for them to commit murder.
There's been hundreds murdered in the United States at the hands of illegal
aliens.
SCHERMERHORN: ... It won't change until people are willing to talk
about it, and there's very few of us in the Border Patrol willing to talk about
it. I represent the Border Patrol agents through the National Border Patrol
Council. We're willing to talk about it.
Schermerhorn's
candor has been met by caustic, insulting criticism from at least one INS
official. On Oct. 30, Robin F. Baker, an assistant regional director in the INS
Western Regional Office in Laguna Niguel, Calif., sent an e-mail to
Schermerhorn, which was copied to nearly 50 other INS employees:
"Nobody,
not even a person of your monumental intelligence, could have predicted what
path the young Mr. Malvo would take.Your agenda, whatever it may be, is
counterproductive to the thousands of [detention and removal] personnel who are
doing their best in spite of the limitations placed upon them by Congress,
uncooperative foreign consulates, [non-governmental organizations], pro bono
attorneys, special interest groups, ect. [sic] Have you ever detained a
non-criminal mother and her 16 year old child for a lengthy period of time?
Have you had to face the wrath of the above mentioned groups?"
Baker
did not return a phone call seeking comment.
Ignore
the hysterics. Of course, no one could have predicted that Malvo would go on a
cross-country killing spree, as government prosecutors have alleged. But there
were two people at INS who had a gut instinct that Malvo and his mother-two
admitted illegal aliens with no documention and no means of support-should be
detained and deported immediately for the good of the country: Border Patrol
officer Keith Olson and his fellow agent, Raymond Ruiz.
Agent
Ruiz warned last December: "Subject Uma James is a native and citizen of
Jamaica with no immigration documents allowing her to be or remain in the
United States legally. She has no roots or close family ties in the United
States and is likely to abscond."
If
INS and immigration court officials had heeded the warnings of the arresting
officers, instead of caving in to the "pro bono attorneys and special
interest groups" that Baker whined about in his e-mail, Malvo would never
have had the opportunity to pursue his "counterproductive" agenda.
And his mother wouldn't be on the lam today.
That's
right. James (also known as Una James and Ana James), remains on the loose- in
violation of the $1,500 bond posted on her behalf by the Northwest Immigrant
Rights' Project of
Will
a $37 billion Homeland Security Department prevent another Malvogate? As long
as federal immigration authorities remain more committed to stifling
whistleblowers instead of protecting them: Fat chance.
