US Congress Rules Huawei a 'Security Threat'

dgharmon writes with the lead from a story in the Brisbane Time: "Chinese telecom company Huawei poses a security threat to the United States and should be barred from US contracts and acquisitions, a yearlong congressional investigation has concluded. A draft of a report by the House Intelligence Committee said Huawei and another Chinese telecom, ZTE, 'cannot be trusted' to be free of influence from Beijing and could be used to undermine U.S. security."

None. Everyone knows that Republicans can't read.

Bullshit. They read the bible, which is how they know the Earth is only 3,000 years old and Jesus buried the phony dinosaur bones that we dig up.

They think it's ~6000 years old. Are you republican by any chance?
