This is already semi-public, just not publicized.  that is the  
uscourts.gov page.  We've had a major WIRED piece, Ambrogi is tracking  
it, we're getting daily uploads to our scribd area.

That process will continue ... I have a letter from ILCD ready to  
publish, likewise a letter to the Veteran's court of appeals.  John  
knows about all this.

I'm looking at a variety of plan b's just in case nytimes doesn't  
happen.  That's what I wrote to you about ... I will continue to  
publish any letters from the courts as they occur, will probably fire  
off a couple more letters, and just wanted to know how public you  
wanted to be.  For example, one plan B I'm considering is to send my  
bill for $992.50 from our criminal lawyer to the chief justice and ask  
him to pay it since the AO of the Courts totally overreacted.

It is not a big problem if you don't want you name used ... I had  
reached the point where I thought that would be useful and definitely  
wanted to ask you before doing so.  I hear you and Schultze and it is  
ok not to use your names.
