In a post here dated about a week ago, Steven Hodas asks for more
info on the inslaw software case, and related scandals. Welcome
to the mother lode. My collection of files relating to this affair
is about 700K and consists mainly of material posted here, and/or
on alt.activism, as well as a number of articles retreived by E-Mail
from the ACTIV-L archive server. I'll give a list of files below, 
and then upload some of my favorites as separate articles.

Hope this helps,
Steve

<For newcomers to this subject, Danny Casolaro, mentioned in many
of these files, is the reporter who died mysteriously while
investigating Inslaw and related scandals. Additionally, although
not mentioned in most of this material, it now appears that
Casolaro had widened his investigation to include the question
of living POWS in Southeast Asia and U.S. government cover-up of
the same. Accordingly, the following files on the POW/MIA issue
may also be relevant here>
