I thought the BBV info on SAIC was scanty. There is enough linkage in these industries to taint everyone if one person turns out dishonest- which it is too murky to assume in most cases.
Still,one question. Our typical news reports and posts don't always give important details. WHO was this particular SAIC team and who appointed it? If a fix was in it certainly was not a name out of a hat. Nor considering this onformation does the actual hands on team have to be corrupted. Just the parameters of their job being defined, tweaked or edited, would be more than enough. The job itself was limited at the start and the common prejudice that is effect just is too corporate friendly. No lemon law at this level, just good will.
Further it could not be a whitewash. Rubin knows the score and has the files. They had to be as moderately honest about flaws as possible, admit to way more than enough to look honest THEN make the well prepared conclusion that Diebold already had a hand in by showing how it was already speedily fixing the flaws. THEN they(SAIC or the SOS?) took special time to rebut Rubin's concerns on a limited level a la the infamous Diebold rebuttals.
None of this looks anything else than a well coordinated rehabilitation campaign, on alevel higher than they are used, but no one seems to be paying much attention. or else why on earth would people swallow that hundreds of errors, many fatal, already used in elections make this a trustworthy product or company! First the technotalk, the cooperative good will, then the BIG ONE. "Complete confidence" That finally surpasses Brit Williams saying the security was so good the odds of fraud a "billion to one". How did the master scientist calculate that figure?
Finally. Who knows, who suspects, who winks, who blindly does the odd work without a clue in the organized vote fraud aspect? The methodology and organization rots of CIA black bag containing the black box's deliberate open window code. These have already been sold overseas and more on the way. Then in 2000 some of these countries baosted how far ahead of us they were. Having the last ironic laugh on themafter all is not so very funny.
Who knows? Certain state pols like Gingrich and Hagel. Corporate heads and selct chocen technicians(Consider all the care in having relatives and dual positions on interlocking companies. Bushco without a doubt. Harris. Their great comfort is how completely sold most of the planet is on the machine and the beauty of no evidence whatsoever. That is why the paper trail scares them. These machines don't even work when they are not being tampered with creatively.
