[liberationtech] Feedback for debate on encryption with former FBI General Counsel

[Yosem Companys]

> From: Peter Swire <peter at peterswire.net>

> On Monday, November 17 the New America Foundation will be hosting a 
debate on the topic of FBI Director Comey’s criticisms of Apple and Google 
for the encryption changes to their phones.  The moderator will be Nancy 
Libin, formerly of both CDT and the Department of Justice.
>
> Former FBI General Counsel Andrew Weissmann will be presenting the Comey 
side of the argument. Andrew is an experienced litigator, former head of 
the Enron Task Force and other major prosecutions.  I was in school years 
ago with Andrew, and the debate will be on the merits but not personal.  
With that said, only the best arguments will work.
>
> With that in mind, I was wondering if readers of your list might send 
(off-list) resources to prepare for the debate?  Many people, in diverse 
outlets, have been writing about these topics.  Although I am currently in 
the midst of hiring a full-time researcher, I don’t have that help at the 
moment.

> If useful, I could circulate a bibliography once the debate happens.
>
> For those in DC, the debate will be 4:00 to 5:30 p.m.  at New America, 
address 1899 L St. NW #400.  it will be webcast, and may be on C-Span.
