Subject: Cryptome Hacked!

greets-
  John Young an extremist? How about an educated and willing advocate of freedom of speech. Also, I have a hard time belieivng that you can hold such a title as 
Systems Administrator, Facility Security Officer without knowing several very good methods of ensuring integrity of software--or are you just holding an informal 
sign saying you deleted the files?
