Jeb Bush Comes Out Against Encryption
Jenna McLaughlin
Aug. 19 2015, 3:40 p.m.

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush said Tuesday that encryption makes it harder for law enforcement to track down “evildoers” — and called for a “much better, more cooperative relationship” with Apple, Google, and other tech companies that are building uncrackable private communication apps into their new products.

“If you create encryption, it makes it harder for the American government to do its job — while protecting civil liberties — to make sure that evildoers aren’t in our midst,” Bush said in South Carolina at an event sponsored by Americans for Peace, Prosperity, and Security, a group with close ties to military contractors.

Bush said, “We need to find a new arrangement with Silicon Valley in this regard because I think this is a very dangerous kind of situation.”

But when the event moderator, former CNN anchor Jeanne Meserve, brought up scientists’ conclusions that giving law enforcement special access to communications also gives hackers more access, Bush didn’t explain his position any further.

“Good point, except we ought to have much more cooperation when it comes to cybersecurity,” he said.

Federal law enforcement officials, led by FBI Director James Comey, have been pressuring companies that are widely providing strong encryption, warning that the government is in danger of “going dark” when it comes to tracking criminals.

But computer scientists have been trying to explain for more than two decades that they can’t provide law enforcement with special access to digital devices and services without inherently weakening them. Providing a “backdoor” to law enforcement is the same as drilling a hole into the system’s security — a hole that criminals can also exploit.

This kind of ridiculous rhetoric - "evildoers in our midst" - is exactly what people are getting tired of. Thankfully, they are recognizing it as the infantile bullshit that it is. Who talks like that, except for a lying, manipulative, psychopathic career politician? Does the Bush family have a trademark on the word "evildoer"? It's embarrassing to me just to read this, much less attempt to take it seriously.

When I asked him which secretary of state he most admired, he replied Condoleezza Rice—who, of course, happened to be the most recent person to hold that post in a Republican administration. Similarly, Robert Gates was Carson’s favorite secretary of defense.

And when I asked Carson to name his favorite secretary of the treasury, he was stumped. “Andrea Mitchell’s husband,” he eventually offered.

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell, of course, is married to Alan Greenspan – the former chairman of the Federal Reserve, who has never been the Treasury secretary.

================================================== ==================================================

The same piece noted Carson’s trip to Israel, where he seemed surprised to discover that Israel has a legislative branch.

The woman answered Carson’s question about political parties, telling him that there were Labor and Likud and a host of other factions in the Knesset. “And what is the role of the Knesset?” he interjected.
