This kind of thing should be obvious, IMHO. One does not send one's critical classified programming out of the country (and we're not talking England here, either) and then act surprised when it is compromised.

You think?!

Did you know that all of our precision guided munitions operate off of a battery-powered guidance system? And that the sole source for those batteries is a factory in China? We've been outsourcing national security for years.

More proof outsourcing is destroying this country.

One has to agree. Weapon systems should rely on good proven Microsoft software. ;-)

Someone set up us the bomb.

There is no control over the programs or data once they are offshore. And if it is the religious duty of Muslims to kill the infidel (us) they'll sabotoge our software. And that goes for banking information and security software too.

I can state with authority that the DoD are currently buying computer hardware that has code written in the PRC and Russia in it's software stack. That's a fact Jack ...

One of the possible conclusions is that very sensitive software would be written differently vs. the commercial software that DOD uses extensively," says the Defense Science Board's Schneider. The DOD is "not going to write the next version of Vista. We're happy to use Microsoft."

.... and that says it all.

Domestically employed H1Bs threaten combat software.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Of course! Does it make any sense at all to have programs written overseas in countries where our laws do not apply? Countries with large numbers of people who would willingly blow themselves up to take us out and who would not care if they get caught sabotaging programs and are prosecuted?
No sense. Our spineless politicians, including Bush, are to blame.
