My favorite: The NSA's web site *redirects HTTPS to HTTP*. Some kind of back-handed acknowledgement of what they do?

My guess is that it's politically-motivated, if you're the NSA would you want to buy your certs from a commercial CA, and if you're a commercial CA would you want to be known as the supplier of trusted certs to the NSA? Peter.
