"If you believe President Bush, a 'cybercrime' treaty about to be voted on by the U.S. Senate is needed to thwart online vandals and track down Internet miscreants. Bush claims the treaty, formally approved by a Senate committee this month, will 'deny safe havens to criminals, including terrorists, who can cause damage to U.S. interests from abroad, using computer systems.'
But in reality, the Convention on Cybercrime will endanger Americans' privacy and civil liberties--and place the FBI's massive surveillance apparatus at the disposal of nations with much less respect for individual liberties. "
