    Anyone know what the "US spy incident" is that is mentioned at the end of the article? An Indian RAW(Indian C.I.A) agent 'Ravinder Singh' stole top secret documents and fled to the U.S inspite of being watched by the counter intelligence . http://www.google.com/search?q=Ravinder+Singh+RAW+spy

    Maybe the nazis wrre right? Back then, they used to say of the jews that they'd be "stupid enough to sell the rope to hang them". as far as i know, that quote is by lenin, refering to capitalists, not nazis about jews... so it is even more fitting than you thought.
  3. Speculative article by YeeHaW_Jelte · · Score: 3, Informative

    The writer of the article also refers to the Estonian Cyberattack:

    http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/05/17/1248215&tid=172

    He states it was a targetted attack by the Russian government, but fails to mention that a 20 year old student was fined for the whole affair:

    http://politics.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/01/25/0120221

    Not saying that it wasn't the russian government, it would have been easy to create a scapegoat for them, but not mentioning this in the article makes it very easy to doubt if the author actually considered if this was really a government run attack or just some Chinese individual being pissed off with India.

      The article is from Times of India - the tabloid of India - the Fox News - the Bild.

      They are known for crapifying everything. They even plagiarized Wikipedia for sports section!

    Anyone know what the "US spy incident" is that is mentioned at the end of the article? A US diplomat Rosanne Minchew who was part of a joint Indo-US Cyber Security Initiative, was asked to leave the country and three Indian working with her were jailed for leaking documents from National Security Council. NSC is like a clearing house of all intelligence inputs and apparently they leaked India's nuclear plans, Naval plans for the Indian Ocean etc. You can read more here http://www.indianexpress.com/sunday/story/7712.html http://www.rediff.com/news/2006/jul/04spy.htm http://www.indosec.org/HighSecBreach
