Wheww... thanks... I did a cursory check of my posts and couldn't find my previous comments. But I did see that Jay Chen, Snowshoe, and others were commenting about the corruption investigation involving the building Zemin's plane and the arrest of the Chinese General, and I believe I put "2 and 2" together somewhere about then as to the likelihood that this was an inside job...

And I know I told my contact at State the same thing.

And it certainly does explain China's muted response. I'm sure our technical guys even probably helped Zemin investigate the likely origin of the devices.

The job was just too "sloppy" and blatant, to have been work of our guys, especially given the nature of the target.
