Re: Snowden
So let me check I've understood this right:
The US's own OPM gets hacked, over a period of years, and nobody notices till some software outfit does a demo of an intrusion detection package. This despite the fact that the US guvmint has spent a fortune on an in-house anti-intrusion system. The apparently plausible story is that everyone on the Federal payroll is at risk. Maybe more victims will emerge from other databases.
And then a few days later, in an (ahem) unrelated and as yet uncorroborated story, Snowden is once again accused of putting the lives of a few (in comparison) spies at risk, people who knew they would be at risk even before they accepted the job.
Look, over there, a lion/tiger/squirrel/honest politician!
Pardon me if I'm not very sympathetic to the anti-Snowden storyplanters and their puppets on this occasion.
