Bush always said, "We must not be iso-lationist".

And here I thought Democrat and Republican minions alike always used free internet e-mail services like Yahoo and gmail to avoid unnecessary work by their IT staff and frivolous inquiries and lawsuits from those who want to know what they are _REALLY_ up to.

"CIA hackers post missing Whitehouse e-mails on Wikileaks" made to look like Chinese hackers.

Doubtful, but I'll put money on the fact that fuhrer bushit will use this as an excuse. "We can't produce the missing emails because the Chinese hacked our servers."

Thank whatever deity you worship that we have a chance to save ourselves from fuhrer bushit's messes.

It's just a matter of time before a group of hackers are organized enough, funded enough and bold enough to take out one of the US major infrastructure like the power grid or communications. Based on years of research into hacker activities I have written a thriller with similar scenarios called Dark End of the Spectrum. Some of my scenarios are based on actual events.

When will politicians learn that if they want their emails private, they have to protect their passwords!? : )
Here is a blogpost from our blog (Passpack - online password manager):

I wrote it shortly after the Palin password hack - and some tips on how to help prevent this sort of thing for politicians and non-politicians alike.
