...But that does not make this incident proof of a conspiracy between the government and the anti-virus industry.
Nope, but it sure strongly suggests that the Government is in lockstep with powerful corporate interests and willing to do their bidding... (Can we say TD, DMCA, SSSCA, Bankruptcy reform laws, etc etc etc on into infinity)...

The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. Instead of altering their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit their views ... which can be very uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering.

So I don't know what Rob means when he says that NAI was trying to "squelch an important story."
Unless I read his forum response (linked above) wrong, Rob states that (NAI) trying to squelch an unimportant story is the story, not whatever he did or did not find, overhear or was writing about in the original column. All the other stuff related to it is just background.
"National Security" is a faceless, formless, lawless concept. It has spawned the X files, noiseless black copters and all manner of suspicions and myths. There's no doubt that it exists in the shadows all around us. Why is it surprising to find out that it has seeped into AV companies and their products we use every day?
