It appears that after years of defending personal strong encryption and the rights of individuals to privacy, Mr Zimmerman has honed the ability to think through reasoned and balanced responses even under the most difficult of circumstances.
My only hope is that governments do not use this terrible event to limit the privacy of individuals and clamp down on the freedoms of our society. We all know that the FBI, CIA, NSA, MI5 and others have always desired stronger snooping laws, ID card and all the other invasive powers.
After all is said and done the attacks were a hideous example of mans violence against man - however we must remember that for 50+ years many countries from both east and west, have all invested vast sums to build and maintain stockpiles of nuclear weapons. We should be under no illusions, these are aimed at population centers across the globe and could be used without hesitation and without warning if our governments deem it necessary. Such is human nature.
