It's intuitively obvious. Open source for a hacker / terrorist is analogous to having the blueprints for Fort Knox, the US attack plan for Iraq, or the schematics on how our missile targeting systems work. Yes, as someone posted above, it can be decompiled and deduced. But that's a pretty tedious and difficult process. You can also deduce our missile targeting systems with adequate access and time.

if it was intuitively obvious there would be no need for a report from a think tank, now would there?

[anyone care to wager that gregory fossedal of adti will have an op-ed in the wall street journal in the next two weeks about this?]

Sort of like the Time article reporting the scientists who recently discovered there are differences between men and women and in fact they may even be born different?
