I have to hand it to you.  Arguing that *withholding* information
*increases* freedom and doing it with a straight face is certainly bold.

The problem with this line of reasoning is that this paranoid 
response to the security risks isn't caused by the (few) 
blackhats. It's caused and sustained by the security industry 
- who obviously are the FUD-mongers - aided by the armies of 
script kiddies - who are responsible for almost all damage 
and intrusions - which their practice of full disclosure 
creates. Thus, ending this practice will _increase_ freedom.
