...Duterte's zero tolerance?for both crime and the judicial system?that resonates. "They can't rely on the justice system, so they rely on Duterte," says former Misamis Oriental Governor Homobono Adaza. Looking to exploit Duterte's appeal, former Presidents Fidel Ramos and Joseph Estrada both asked him to take national posts. And Duterte's way is spreading. Presidential adviser Jesus Dureza, who has known him since high school, says voters in other cities also crave Duterte-type security. Copycat vigilante killings have cropped up in Digos City to the south and Cagayan de Oro to the north. Locally...
...expert Thomas Vinje. "I would not want to be representing them." That's bad news for researchers like Dutch cryptographer Niels Ferguson. Last year, he wrote a paper detailing weaknesses in an Intel encryption system. Fearful of legal liability in the U.S. if a hacker used his work to exploit those flaws, Ferguson chose not to publish. He calls the situation "Orwellian": "Given the problems we have with lack of computer security, we need more research into it, not less."

In their view, anything that shifts more power to the Hoover Building will only reinforce the culture of fear and indecision that the hijackers managed to exploit. Rowley wrote to Mueller, "Your plans for an FBI headquarters' 'super squad' simply fly in the face of an honest appraisal of the FBI's pre-September 11 failures...
...totals 135% of gdp, a ratio that last week prompted Moody's Investors Service to downgrade Japan's credit rating to a level on par with Latvia. The country faces a host of other structural problems that aren't being fixed?and aren't likely to be if leaders exploit the whiff of a recovery to justify continuing a pattern of do-nothing politics. "The ruling party could use this as an excuse to stall reform," says Katsuya Okada, a Democratic Party leader. Any improvement "is only cyclical," Okada carps, "it doesn't represent a full recovery...
