If anybody in Indonesia, especially the elite, are shocked by the recording of Habibie-Ghalib conversion, then they are living in Disneyland. In these days of convergence of networking, where voice, data, text and video are more or less transmitted within a single bandwidth, NOTHING IS SAFE. The only thing you can do to protect yourself is to scramble or encrypt the data, even that does not guarantee 100% data protection. If your locals don't do it, then your friendly foreign Intelligence Agencies would probably have done it anyway. For all we know, the conversation was conducted probably using handphones. If that is the case, it is child play to record such conversation, just get a scanner. Anyway, I do think it is a great thing that this has happened. Because the Indonesian government still does not understand the meaning of "transparency". If they can't be transparent, then they must be forced to be transparent by other means. In fact, I would say this piece has great historical value. It should be kept in the National Library for future generation. Remember the "SuperSemar" document. Where is it now? Nobody seems to know. This is not someone personal property. This is the historical property belongs to the future generation. So really, the Government cannot complain. because if they can't safeguard State's property then let others do it.
