Must be springtime for scandals - they just keep popping out all over
All of Obama's scandals keep getting bigger. Now this from
The Washington Post:
Confidential report lists U.S. weapons system designs compromised by Chinese cyberspies
Designs for many of the nation�s most sensitive advanced weapons systems have been compromised by Chinese hackers, according to a report prepared for the Pentagon and to officials from government and the defense industry.
Among more than two dozen major weapons systems whose designs were breached were programs critical to U.S. missile defenses and combat aircraft and ships, according to a previously undisclosed section of a confidential report prepared for Pentagon leaders by the Defense Science Board.
Experts warn that the electronic intrusions gave China access to advanced technology that could accelerate the development of its weapons systems and weaken the U.S. military advantage in a future conflict.
It all boils down to #1) - what did our government know and #2) - when did they learn it.
A bit more:
In January, the advisory panel warned in the public version of its report that the Pentagon is unprepared to counter a full-scale cyber-conflict. The list of compromised weapons designs is contained in a confidential version, and it was provided to The Washington Post.
The public version in January of this year. This means that the Obama government had been sitting on this for at least six months prior or just before the 2012 elections. Another thing to stuff down the memory-hole until after elections -- would not be prudent to hurt the chances of The Lightbringer...
