Everyone,
This is getting out of hand. Needlessly. My name is James Glave, and I am
the reporter who wrote the article. I have signed this email with a PGP key.
There is no conspiracy. I heard about Jam Echelon Day and I collected some
opitnions about it fora short news story. Along the way, I bungled up the
reporting -- including getting the date wrong -- and then corrected the
story. I disclosed the correction in a note on the bottom of the story.
It's still there. Please read it:
http://www.wired.com/news/news/politics/story/22102.html
There is no black helicopter parked on the roof at Wired News. I hope this
is puts the matter to rest, and wish everyone a happy Jam Echelon Day.

>Wow. I just got an email from a guy (using a hotmail account with the

>and claiming not to know how to get ahold of me (BUT HE SENT ME AN EMAIL).

>Also, the article on Wired has *moved* (it isn't the lead story now)
>*AND* it says the "jam echelon date" is *21* October instead of October 18.

>There is also now a *correction* stating that the "jam echelon day" was
>started by the Activism List and that AJF didn't set the "jam echelon date"
>and that "Wired regrets the error," however, I *repeatedly,* and in writing
>had told the writer, James Glave, that I had never heard of a "jam echelon
>day" and we had *nothing* to do with setting "Oct. 18" (or any other date).
>I have all those emails.
>
>The writer of the article wrote to me, out of the blue. The whole
>things appears to have been a set up -- a propaganda piece to associate the
>"jam echelon" effort with "militia" to discredit it (and me) and of course,
>acting like Echelon "hasn't been proved to exist" which is, of course, utter
>bullshit.
