  • Legal Beagle: Crowdsourcing Project Cortex,

    Maybe the advice that communications may be monitored by Cortex only applies to certain situations?

    For example, presumably an initial inbound email will receive a very high level of scrutiny but, once communication is established, checking is relaxed. For companies ‘protected’ by Cortex, the coverage might apply to communication after the initial contact, when traditionally the ‘guard is down’. In that case, the advice might appear in the footer of the first reply email.

    That might be why you can’t see it on a quick google. It would also be a good way to slightly obfuscate which agencies are protected.

  • Hard News: Incomplete, inaccurate and misleading,

    New Zealand Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security Sir Humphrey Appleby: "Unfortunately, although the answer was indeed clear, simple and straightforward, there is some difficulty in justifiably assigning to it the fourth of the epithets you applied to the statement inasmuch as the precise correlation between the information you communicated and the facts insofar as they can be determined and demonstrated is such as to cause epistemological problems of sufficient magnitude as to lay upon the logical and semantic resources of the English language a heavier burden than they can reasonably be expected to bear."

    Rather than say one 'could' have a beer with him, perhaps it is better to say one 'would' have a beer with him. I certainly would.
