Although it criticizes the DOJ for failing to approve an FBI request to place Lee under electronic surveillance, the internal report faults the FBI for not initially searching the computer at Lee's office - for which no warrant was required - onto which he had downloaded reams of classified computer code.

The House Committee on Intelligence, meanwhile, has slammed the Clinton administration for allegedly weakening the nation's intelligence services through lack of funding.

Provisions like these would kill innovation in the OS--and impair the livelihoods of the tens of thousands of independent software developers who depend on constant innovation in the OS to make their products more attractive. Updates to Windows and Office technologies that could, for example, protect against attacks such as the Love Bug virus would also be much...
