Oh, please, they're morons. If they had even the slightest ounce of a clue they would have kept their traps shut and fed our spooks disinfo with a platinum spoon and milked it for all it's worth. Like Russia did with the tunnel our boys dug under the Berlin Wall to snoop on their phone conversations.
Instead they've played the political omlet on the face routine again... Which now means that the Chinese government gets to reverse engineer yet more of the NSA's handy work in addition to that spy plane they shot up last time, and gets to fish more info about our satelites, tech, capabilities, etc... which ultimately means you and me and everyone you know in the USA gets to pay more tax buckies for the good ol'e NSA to change their technology now that it has been leaked to the Chinese once again... sigh... So much for that tax rebate... [The ultraparanoid kook crowd might even think that this was the intentional selling of technology, what with that whole Wen Ho Lee thing, that the news story was simply plausible deniability, etc...] I must admit, for that $30B/year we're spending on our "intelligence" guys, we're getting nothing but keystone cop antics. What a fucking waste of our hard earned dollars. They should fire everyone involved in this fuckfeast. Of course the fired fucks'd just go form spooky startups that claim to sell unbreakable virtual one time pads with lots of prorpietary trade secrets and other snake oil, but I digress... hell the lead guy would probably wind up being Microsoft's next Security Czar, haw haw haw. So go and tell your buddies at Langley or Ft Meade, whichever you've sold your soul to that while they've managed to bend ol'e Uncle Sam over once more, that the next time, they should try to fuck the economy less please. After all, incase they aren't paying attention, the economy isn't exactly all peaches, and should they lose their spooky jobs for gross negligence, they might have to suck the unemployment nipple for quite some time. (Ok, I'm done with my lame attempt at channeling John Young for a while... after all I the above is too easy to comprehend, and I haven't quite yet got the obfuscation knack going...) ----------------------Kaos-Keraunos-Kybernetos--------------------------- + ^ + :Surveillance cameras|Passwords are like underwear.
