Upon further review...and since this is *funsec*, I'd like to ask a few rhetorical security questions about this. I'm sure there are more that haven't occurred to me yet. 1. How is it that the Director of the CIA does not know how to use email (relatively) securely? Did he really compose unencrypted messages to his paramour using CIA computers on the CIA network and send them via CIA mail servers? Really? REALLY?
He used gmail, from cia gear. Thousands of mails over a period of months.
4. If the internal mechanisms of government aren't sufficient to (quickly) catch a very very senior person having an affair -- and doing it incompetently -- then why should we believe that they're sufficient to catch a well-trained, careful, diligent spy?
By reading their personal mails? Should this be done by an algorithm, or live person?
