you only quoted half a paragraph.the first half sets a different meaning and tone:
"we thought that all supervision on encryption should be cancelled, since it's obvious 
that a terrorist who want to deal with encryption won't ask for a license, where as 
legitimate companies encounter bureaucratic difficulties".

all in all, i think most of what these guys want is pretty much ok:
1. limited responsibility of ISPs and sites to what people post on websites (needless 
to say, this will help me sleep better).
2. no supervision over encryption technologies.
3. clearing the subject of a state "back door" by law (which pretty much means no more 
of this rubbish, if it does exist)
