Has he come out? What about the recent mandatory key-surrender bill and
the new one to ban 'bomb-making information' on the Net (which means that
the Congressional Record would have to be withdrawn). Will he veto those
if they're passed? Methinks he's just changing his mind for political points
now that the CDA's failure is clear.

I still think you put too much faith in the Chinese government. The
situation there seems to be going the opposite way to Russia; instead of
a government collapse followed by a change-over to a more free-market
system we're seeing a change-over to a more free-market system followed
(probably) by a government collapse.
