1. dealing with the bush* mis administration one has to remember

there is no mountain high enough nor river deep enough to stop them from doing or saying anything to further their cause even if its the last thing they should do. my advice is to know that and deal with them as you know that. Theres nothing wrong with having a pet snake as long as you know exactly where it is all the time, comes to mind

2. And it's HARDLY the first time.

They seem to have a real HABIT of destroying valuable
alQuaida information streams.

5. look, the "investigators" were just stupid.

1) Hosted the video on their own server
2) EMAILED THE WHITE HOUSE with a link etc.

We all know that email to white house addys is archived.

Internet traffic is not secure. Never has been, and won't be soon.

On Edit: IMO its another failure of privatization. Especially since the same firm gave its LOGS to the Washington Post to examine.
