Susan did a great job moderating last year's opening plenary. This year, the first session's on Security and freedom in the Obama administration, and she's starting it off with remarks in her role as Special Advisor to the President on Science and Technology Policy. Why on earth is that a bad thing? jon Brett, you’ll be delighted to hear that the program committee still contains a lot of the people you derided last year as a cabal of ideologues!

It's clear from the conference's agenda that it is about computers and privacy, but not at all about freedom. Keynote speaker Susan Crawford, for example, has as a key element of her agenda onerous regulation or even nationalization of the Internet. Not exactly ideas that comport with the notion of freedom.
