EFF co-founder John Gilmore sez:
Top-secret blogger Christine Axsmith was fired
on July 13 from her BAE
Systems job testing CIA software. Why? She posted her opinion
that "torture is wrong" to her classified blog, after reading a
newspaper report saying the CIA plans to following the Geneva
Conventions again (after the Supreme
Court forced them to). This was beyond the pale for the CIA
"seventh floor" (top management), who apparently ordered her fired.
Her unclassified blog,
Econo-Girl, is starting a longer discussion of torture. Bloggers
who think she's been wronged can donate to her at PayPal account
caxsmith@aol.com; I've started the pot with a $1000 "attagirl".
I'm in for a hundred, myself.
