It gets reported that internet security company RSA was payed 10 million by NSA for including a weak randomization algorithm in its internet security software suite BSafe that was developed by the NSA.

RSA now warns of its own software.

I bet money that RSA is not the only company that got more or less forced, intimidated or bribed into using NSA infested code.

Meanwhile American envoys to either Brazil or the EU tried to get away with telling their "partners" during diplomatic talks that American surveillance is not really surveillance and that it is no data collecting when America is collecting data.

Some weeks ago it was reported that American diplomats put pressure on Germany's then likely great coalition personnel to make them comply with US-lobbied and EU-wanted laws widening preemptive data collection and storage, which parts of the great coalition as a result ofm the NSA revelation now want to boycott and not form into German law.

Megalomania in bed with arrogance.

Maybe Frank Herbert had a right idea. Maybe it really is time for a Butler's djihad.
