The more I think about Senator Leahy's public key, the more I keep coming
back to a point I only alluded to before.
How do we know the key is actually his key?
The key is only self signed. It could be a fake. If, as I have assumed,
its primary use will be to sign public statements posted to the net, how
will we know they are actually from Senator Leahy, and not some impostor?
I strongly urge the senator to join the web of trust and get some other
signatures on his key.
