Real Cyber-Spying

The guy was something of a bozo, using free webmail accounts from locations near his home to email the stuff. It's an interesting read about a legitimate (for once) cyber-bust."
This scuzzbag passed secrets on to foreign shithole countries that can (will) be used in such a manner that eventually someone is gonna get killed. Remember a few years ago about Johnny Walker Red? Or how about Pelton? "What possible harm..." they did caused people to get killed. They set back national security at least 50 years, and helped support not-nice countries like China and Iraq.
Despite the fact that our country collects intelligence on other countries, we aren't as bad of a police state as any of the others (as a Chink, try practicing a little religious cultism and see how fast you get sent for "re-education." Now as an Amer'kin, do the same thing. Note the subtle difference in what happens to you.)
In general, modern problems have medieval solutions...
of course I'm a virgin! ... well ... at least I was!
