On Slashdot [1], Philip Zimmerman, the developer of PGP [2], says that the 
Washington Post misrepresented him in their article [3] about software used 
by the terrorists. "This misrepresentation is serious, because it implies 
that under the duress of terrorism I have changed my principles on the 
importance of cryptography for protecting privacy and civil liberties in 
the information age."
