25% of total search engine requests are porn-related. Just because there are a lot of results for insects does not mean there is a lot of insect related internet traffic on the internet, just a lot of web pages no one looks at. For steganography what matters is what average people actually download. If you were agnostic about what to use for steganography porn would be obviously the most effective choice. When you are worried about the U.S. govt raiding your home and putting a couple bullets in your head I'm sure you too would be agnostic about what you used for steganography. Damn disappointing that one has to explain this stuff to slashdot users. Slashdot seems to be overwhelmed by a bunch of bible thumping DOD employees.
But pornography is probably the most common thing broadcast on the internet, if you want to hide in a crowd of clowns, dress like a clown. You seem to miss one of the basic points of steganography (also check your spelling, it is not 'stenography').
I would like to point out that it is possible this was used for steganography, hiding messages inside common images so that they would not attract attention. Basically pornography is really common on the internet. It does make for good U.S. propaganda though. A note about steganography should be prominent on a tech sight like slashdot, just goes to show how how crappy slashdot has gotten. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography#Digital_steganography

This kind of thing is depressingly common. While working at the National Security Agency I witnessed similar abuse, for instance I was at some of the meetings discussing the funding of the Vivomind project which was also clearly bogus.

Think we need a well researched article on what percentage of U.S. tech work is not military or federal government related? After you pull out H1-B visas, just looking at the commercial tech jobs available to U.S. citizens. Not that I...'m against immigration but just to get an idea of the situation for U.S. citizen tech workers. Note that according to the "top secret America" Washington Post article there are 850,000 people with top secret security clearance, a large portion of the jobs that require a top secret clearance are related in intelligence collection technology or advanced weapons systems. Everything leaked by wikileaks so far has been classified as secret or lower, no top secret documents. Many of these government jobs have a 'don't ask, don't tell' policy on corruption.
This is a ploy by IBM to get more government money. IBM and Cray are the two major super computer companies supplying the U.S. government. IBM at Los Alamos, Lawrence Livermore and Argonne and Cray at Oak Ridge. IBM also has contracts at the NSA and Fermilab. IBM has gotten a large portion of its U.S. money from the government since its inception, providing punch card machines for the 1890 census for the U.S. census office. IBM has 400k employees of whom 100k are in the U.S., the largest tech company in the world, dwarfing all others. Yet I can't think of a single decent commercial product IBM makes. The Cell processor? The current Cray inc has very little to do with Seymour Cray, the name was bought by Tera computer. Tera computer was co-founded by Burton Smith who had earlier spent time at Institute for Defense Analysis (IDA) and also has a long running contract at the NSA.
what about looking at incarceration rates. U.S. is 760 per 100,000 while China is 119. Also look at Homicide rate per 100,000: U.S. 5.4 Iran 2.93
Incarceration rate per 100,000: U.S. 754 Iran 222 percent GDP spent on defense: U.S. 4.3% Iran 2.9% What is so good about the U.S. culture? Hypocrisy?

I guess it is implied in your post but to be clear SELinux started as an NSA project.
That was worth the 1.2 trillion dollar we have spent so far on the war on terror.

It's going to take a lot more then one atom to connect the memory and make it do something useful.
