I just loved seeing the 2” article on page 11 of the Austin Un-American Statesman while eating lunch.

I have some doubts over the Virginia congressman’s story. Frankly....alot of these guys have no firewall set up and a bunch of teenage hackers from Brooklyn could be routing traffic through a Chinese University....pretending to be “the terrible Chicoms”. I’ve seen a significant number of government employees who had no idea on how to set up a firewall at home and their computer was wide open. So nothing surprises me anymore.

Maybe, but I trust the Chinese about as far as I can throw a cheesecake underwater. And given the access they were handed by Clinton, they already know enough to undermine us and still bust pacifist Tibetan Monk heads..

The day the Chinese truthfully acknowleged their troublemaking is the day to start worrying.

Ted The Swimmer Kennedy called it “hacking” when a Republican staffer looked at some files on the shared network under Kennedy's folder. No password. No circumvention of identity or fraudulent credentials. No encryption broken.

And being a government computer, Mr. Kennedy does not have “private files” there.

Its amusing that we aren’t hearing a word about the congressional or senate network being secure. Anyone recall this ever being said?

I’ll bet that they have half the protection that they claim...and ten percent of them likely have daily virus infections.
