- Chronic
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In the wealthy industrialized nations, effective drug therapies against AIDS became available - AZT as early as 1987, then combinations of antiretroviral agents in 1996. The new drugs offered hope that fatal complications might be staved off and AIDS rendered a chronic condition.
- First
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The first and pivotal negotiations over global access to AIDS drugs began in Geneva in 1991. They lasted two years, but confidential minutes suggest they were doomed the first day.
- Any
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Drug manufacturers could afford to sell AIDS drugs in Africa at virtually any discount. The companies said they did not do so because Africa lacked the requisite infrastructure.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In 1995, Glaxo bought Burroughs Wellcome and became the presumptive leader in AIDS therapy.
- Poor
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For a decade, makers of AIDS medicines had rejected the idea of lowering prices in poor countries for fear of eroding profits in rich ones. The position required a balancing act, because the companies had to deflect attacks on the global reach of their patents, which granted exclusive marketing rights for antiretroviral drugs.
- None
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Of all Iraq's rocket scientists, none drew warier scrutiny abroad than Modher Sadeq-Saba Tamimi.
- Disarmament
- |

The defection of Hussein Kamel was a turning point in the U.N.-imposed disarmament of Iraq in the 1990s.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If Iraq had succeeded in spray-drying anthrax spores to extend their life and lethality, that would have been among the most important secrets of its wide-ranging weapons program.
- Bush Administration
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In late 2003, the Bush administration reversed a long-standing policy requiring agents to destroy their files on innocent American citizens, companies and residents when investigations closed.
- Digital
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A national security letter cannot be used to authorize eavesdropping or to read the contents of e-mail. But it does permit investigators to trace revealing paths through the private affairs of a modern digital citizen.
- Each Year
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
On average, since 9/11, the FBI reckons that just over 100,000 terrorism leads each year have come over the transom. Analysts and agents designate them as immediate, priority or routine, but the bureau says every one is covered.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Most people inside the bureau believe that the blown opportunities to head off 9/11 would not recur today. Even among the FBI's doubters, few disagree that the bureau has come a long way.
- Engineer
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Snowden is an orderly thinker, with an engineer's approach to problem-solving.
- Information
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The NSA's business is 'information dominance,' the use of other people's secrets to shape events.
- Motives
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For months, Obama administration officials attacked Snowden's motives and said the work of the NSA was distorted by selective leaks and misinterpretations.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Snowden grants that NSA employees by and large believe in their mission and trust the agency to handle the secrets it takes from ordinary people - deliberately, in the case of bulk records collection, and 'incidentally,' when the content of American phone calls and e-mails are swept into NSA systems along with foreign targets.
- Flew
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
CloudShield did not see itself as a cloak-and-dagger company. It made its name for high-end hardware that could peer deeply into Internet traffic and pull out and analyze 'packets' of data as they flew by.
- Internet
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
No one can keep track of how many people use Internet, how many machines it can reach, or even how many sub- and sub-sub-networks form a part of it.
- Cartoons
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
True net-heads sometimes resort to punctuation cartoons to get around the absence of inflection.
- Digital
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As digital communications have multiplied, and NSA capabilities with them, the agency has shifted resources from surveillance of individual targets to the acquisition of communications on a planetary scale.
- Focus
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The $52.6 billion U.S. intelligence arsenal is aimed mainly at unambiguous adversaries, including al-Qaida, North Korea and Iran. But top-secret budget documents reveal an equally intense focus on one purported ally: Pakistan.
- Country
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Pakistan has dozens of laboratories and production and storage sites scattered across the country. After developing warheads with highly enriched uranium, it has more recently tried to do the same with more-powerful and compact plutonium.
- Sharing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Pakistan has accepted some security training from the CIA, but U.S. export restrictions and Pakistani suspicions have prevented the two countries from sharing the most sophisticated technology for safeguarding nuclear components.
- Black
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
U.S. surveillance of Pakistan extends far beyond its nuclear program. There are several references in the black budget to expanding U.S. scrutiny of chemical and biological laboratories.
- Cyber
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Stuxnet, a computer worm reportedly developed by the United States and Israel that destroyed Iranian nuclear centrifuges in attacks in 2009 and 2010, is often cited as the most dramatic use of a cyber weapon.
- Almost
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The Obama administration has provided almost no public information about the NSA's compliance record.
- Distributed
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There is no reliable way to calculate from the number of recorded compliance issues how many Americans have had their communications improperly collected, stored or distributed by the NSA.
- Attributed
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The causes and severity of NSA infractions vary widely. One in 10 incidents is attributed to a typographical error in which an analyst enters an incorrect query and retrieves data about U.S phone calls or emails.
- Government
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The NSA has different reporting requirements for each branch of government and each of its legal authorities.
- Law
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
At Cheney's initiative, the United States stripped terror suspects of long-established rights under domestic and international law, building a new legal edifice under exclusive White House ownership.
- Good

- Nov 07, 2020
By now, you've heard endless warnings about the risk of short, trivial passwords. There's a good chance you ignore them.
- Getting
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Even complex passwords are getting easy to break if they're too short. That's because today's inexpensive computer chips have the power of supercomputers from the year 2000.
- Down
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you do write down your passwords, don't make it obvious which password corresponds to which account. Even better, write the passwords incorrectly and make up an easy rule for fixing them. You could decide to add 1 to each number in your password, so that 2x6Y is written as 3x7Y.
- Clicks
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Suppose a bad guy guesses the password for your throwaway Yahoo address. Now he goes to major banking and commerce sites and looks for an account registered to that email address. When he finds one, he clicks the 'forgot my password' button and a new one is sent - to your compromised email account. Now he's in a position to do you serious harm.
- Privacy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Google appears to be the worst of the major search engines from a privacy point of view; Ask.com, with AskEraser turned on, is among the best.
- Privacy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The best way to preserve your privacy is to use a search engine that does not keep your logs in the first place. That's the approach used by Startpage and its European parent company, Ixquick.
- Brother
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Everyone and his Big Brother wants to log your browsing habits, the better to build a profile of who you are and how you live your life - online and off. Search engine companies offer a benefit in return: more relevant search results. The more they know about you, the better they can tailor information to your needs.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You don't need to be a spook to care about encryption. If you travel with your computer or keep it in a place where other people can put their hands on it, you're vulnerable.
- Most
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Most computers today have built in backup software.
- Free
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For personal use, I recommend the free and open-source Truecrypt, which comes in flavors for Windows, Mac and Linux.
- Nothing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Nothing is absolute in security.
- Control
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've always shied away from online data storage. I don't even use my employers' network drives for anything sensitive. I want to control access myself.
- Disaster
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Cloud services cut both ways in terms of security: you get off-site backup and disaster recovery, but you entrust your secrets to somebody else's hands. Doing the latter increases your exposure to government surveillance and the potential for deliberate or inadvertent breaches of your confidential files.
- Fire
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Well-secured files don't do you much good if you lose them in a fire or hard drive crash.
- Hard
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I favor pocket-sized hard drives that travel between home and office, syncing with computers on both ends.
- Nov 07, 2020
I learned the technology and tradecraft of electronic security in self defense, with a lot of expert help.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Privacy is relational. It depends on the audience. You don't want your employer to know you're job hunting. You don't spill all about your love life to your mom or your kids. You don't tell trade secrets to your rivals.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Friend of mine, a smart journalist, had his iPad stolen. He couldn't help that - the thief broke into his house. But his private, personal data wasn't stolen, exactly. Donated, more like. He had no passcode set on the iPad.
- Security
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A minimum precaution: keep your anti-malware protections up to date, and install security updates for all your software as soon as they arrive.
- Egyptians
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It no longer counts as remarkable that Egyptians organized their uprising on social media.
- Control
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Activists and geeks, standing together, are demonstrating powers beyond the reach of government control.
- Making
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Federal prosecutors want to indict Julian Assange for making public a great many classified documents.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The Obama administration, like those before it, promotes a disturbingly narrow interpretation of the Fourth Amendment, misapplying the facts of old analog cases to a radically different digital world.
- Information
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Companies that receive government information demands have to obey the law, but they often have room for maneuver. They scarcely ever use it.
- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We know what's in our Cheerios and in our retirement accounts because the law requires disclosure.
- Computers
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Dell fills its computers with crapware, collecting fees from McAfee and other vendors to pre-install 'trial' versions.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I do read licenses, and they aggravate me, but a computer isn't much good without software. When I need a product, I hold my nose and click 'agree.'
- American Express
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It turns out that American Express honors recurring payments even if the vendor is unable to supply an accurate card number and expiration date. An Amex phone representative said this is a feature, not a bug, which makes sure my bills are paid.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The IronClad is faster than most thumb drives but far slower than a standard hard drive. Boot up, application launch and other Windows operations feel sluggish, though still usable.
- Power
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Rolf Ekeus, his appearance can deceive. He looks somewhere between an international diplomat and a mad professor. He's got that sort of shock of white hair and a slightly absent-minded way of speaking. But he's extremely sharp and very serious about power relationships.
- Nasty
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In effect, you cannot stop Iraq from growing nasty bugs in the basement. You can stop them from putting operational warheads on working missiles and launching them at their neighbors.
- Each Year
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The National Security Agency has broken privacy rules or overstepped its legal authority thousands of times each year since Congress granted the agency broad new powers in 2008, according to an internal audit and other top-secret documents.
- Privacy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Privacy and encryption work, but it's too easy to make a mistake that exposes you.
- Judge
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The NSA is forbidden to 'target' American citizens, green-card holders or companies for surveillance without an individual warrant from a judge.
- High
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
U.S. intelligence services routinely use collection methods against foreigners that foreseeably - with certainty - ingest high volumes of U.S. communications as well.
- Hard
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Some misunderstandings are hard to cure.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Scores of armed antigovernment groups, some of them far more radical, have formed or been revived during the Obama years, according to law-enforcement agencies and outside watchdogs.
- Fraud
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The federal government is often said in militia circles to have made wholesale seizures of power, at times by subterfuge. A leading grievance holds that the 16th Amendment, which authorizes the federal income tax, was ratified through fraud.
- Competing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Obama's ascendancy unhinged the radical right, offering a unified target to competing camps of racial, nativist and religious animus.
- Power
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Holding our own government to account for the use of its power is, in my view, the highest mission of a U.S. news organization.
- Make
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm a journalist and author. I make my living by finding things out and writing about them.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In general, states do not count on pledges of 'no more war' from their neighbors. Israel's army never counted on it from Egypt, for example.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Palestinians have had to live for a long time with the fact that Israelis had power over them in their everyday lives.
- Policy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Doctrines don't govern policy. They provide a conceptual framework by which policymakers approach their decisions. But there is no such thing as a doctrine that controls policy in every way.
- Direction
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Clinton saw himself much more as the steward of alliances and of consensus that moved in the right direction. He didn't see himself as someone who could change the overall thrust, I think, of global policy.
- Power
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I doubt there's any government in the world that guides itself primarily by strategy or conceptual documents or worldview. Anybody who has the reins of power has to look at practical limitations and tradeoffs - the fact that you can focus at most on one or two things at a time, that resources are limited.
- Anything
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Snowden has yet to tell me anything that was a fact that I have been able to rebut or that anybody in the U.S. government I have talked to has been able to rebut.
- Early
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Snowden has been very sparing about discussing his early life or his personal life.
- American
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The surveillance of ordinary people is far greater than I would have imagined and far greater than the American public has been able to debate.
