Critics: NSA agent co-chairing key crypto standards body should be removed

http://j.mp/1cZphkN  (Ars Technica)

   "Security experts are calling for the removal of a National Security
    Agency employee who co-chairs an influential cryptography panel, which
    advises a host of groups that forge widely used standards for the
    Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)."

I trust that the IETF will offer Kevin Igoe the full benefit of due
process and defense, and not summary execution. Frankly, it smells
more and more like 1692 Salem around here.
