All due respect to Cryptome, and points well made and taken. Yet this isn't really an effective response to the issue at hand. While we should and must be skeptical... until contrary proof exists we should be taking advantage of all means available regarding distribution integrity and even provenance and secret comms if desired. That's hard, it involves some work, and homework. Yet until such proof, it's probably better than going bare assed to the Sun.
Still, Cryptome endorses the continuing struggle to improve citizen ... common math against the deadly germs.
