Someday it will be revealed that Obama’s campaign conducted their illegal activity with Pretty Good Privacy. Nothing new under the sun.

Yes, the Enigma was the PGP of its day. Franco used the commercially available version brought out in 1920; it was still good enough to baffle the opposition. Hitler wouldn't let him have the Nazi version.

The Brits were reading Franco's code, but they didn't tip off the Republicans. They held their codebreaking prowess pretty close to the vest.

I remember PGP key-signing parties back in the Clinton years. It occurs to me that we may want to organize something similar through FR if the Obamessiah wins.

No code is unbreakable. Remember that.
