I guess I'm just following this more closely than you.  Al Gore has been 
LEADING the fight against encryption and Freeh has been on the front line.

That said, my point was that the idiot who made it sound like Republicans
are encryption's enemy was simply not paying attention.  The Democrats are
actually worse, but both are bad.  And the Libertarians don't hold enough
offices to make any difference yet.
