Cyber dog loses points for the following:-

NO mention of the Zarapuder film.
NO explanation of Vince Foster's death.
NO consideration given to the credible evidence of UFO sightings. 

Quite why the US govt. would want to buy RSA is beyond me. They already
have a license to use RSA for internal purposes, the patent expires in
three years in any case. Even if RSA was completely banned it would
still be possible to use El-Gamal and variants for encryption and
digital signatures.

False, and no more than 3/10 for effort.
