> Why has AES escaped general suspicion? 

because it was not created by NIST, nor NSA nor any other US gov org. it was 
created by the academia, namely two guys, daemen and rijmen (neither of them 
are americans).

the possibility of a backdoor in dual_ec was discovered very soon after its 
announcement. aes is much older, and despite the 15 years of scrutiny, it 
stands firm.
