Stuxnet

Stuxnet's origin was apparently released Friday – US and Israel. NYTimes had a longer write up, but I couldn't find it again this morning. Interesting stuff.

We've had knowledge that it was a US/Israel collaboration for years now. The confirmation is just a lockdown on the fact that this sort of international cyberterrorism was perpetrated by two collaborative parties conspiring to destroy an entire nation's supply of nuclear energy on the off chance they might use it inappropriately. Those collaborative parties may or may not have just started another war, and Iran is completely justified in a counterattack considering all the US has done to them.

This does not of course excuse Iran's actions towards it's people.

I was under the impression that it was strongly assumed that it was the US and/or Israel, plus a little bit of evidence that implied those countries participation.

Interesting to see that nothing has yet come in some form of major retaliation yet.

I dunno, but this seems TOO obvious. As in really VERY obvious.
