...office," would arrest Schwerner, Chaney and Goodman "without lawful cause, and detain them in the Neshoba County jail." Then, said the FBI, Price arranged it so that when they left the jail he and nine other men?members or warm admirers of the White Knights of the Klan?could intercept them outside town. The killers forced them into other cars, drove down an isolated road, "and did threaten, assault, shoot and kill them." The lynchers hauled the bodies to the Old Jolly Farm, dumped them in a shallow grave. A few days later, tons of dirt for the dam were...

Says Thomas Probert, director of computer and software engineering for the Institute for Defense Analyses...
...ensuing debate -- much of which took place over the Net -- government officials maintained that they needed Clipper to be able to intercept and decipher messages from mobsters, drug dealers and terrorists. Not so, claim critics. "Clipper is not about child molesters or the Mafia but about the Internal Revenue Service," argues Bruce Fancher, proprietor of a New York City Internet service provider called Mindvox.
