This comes as little surprise, given the public's desire for black and
white clarity in an increasingly gray and low-contrast world.  Kevin is
certainly no angel, yet neither is he the demon that Markoff portrayed
with such broad strokes.

I cannot help but wonder where Shimomura's hand is in all this.  Though
obviously self-centered, he initially struck me as a man who valued
dignity more than pride.  I recall him speaking of 'honor' with regard to
this case.  At this time I can only hope those were not simple words.

This gross exaggeration of what transpired is patently dishonorable.

For what it is worth, I will take what time I can off work to cover the
Mitnick trial first hand.  I will bring what I learn to ISN.
