Agreed. If PGP has a hole it in it's not in the sources, nor in the
executables. Any hole would be a breaking of the RSA or IDEA cyphers by
the TLA's who wouldn't talk about it, or the availablity of enough super
fast hardware to brute force it.
It wouldn't be that PGP, it's sources, or algorithms have holes. It
would be that there is a way to factor RSA that as of yet we don't know
about. And hell, that's as likely as meeting Elvis at your local 7-11. ;-)
