Re: [projectvrm] Schneier: things are far worse than they appear

[Doc Searls < >]

Bruce is a freshly minted fellow at the Berkman Center, though I've known him 
for several years, mostly through the speaking & conference circuit.

What he told me at the Berkman open house on Monday was in the midst of much 
noise, and I'm not sure I got it all right — beyond what I've already said.

He's working on a paper (or a post, or a something) right now, and told me 
he'd like to hold off on more public statements until he gets that one out 
there.

He also said it would be soon. So stay tuned.
