	Hi Folks, 

	For those of you interested in the threats to information, there is an 
	intersting article in the July 8, 2003 Washington Post on how a student's 
	dissertation is raising questions about national security because of the 
	maps he created.  Although the information is in the public domain, some 
	say that the dissertation includes sensitive information that could 
	threaten national security. 

	For more, please see the full article at:
