Let's have some fun

[Jeffersons Ghost]

Last week I posted a slightly paranoid OP about the National Security Agency (NSA) watching our every move and got a lot of very funny posts about Agent Mike and Plan X. Back during the Bush years I was indeed investigated by the NSA for attempted sedition. I was making a movie for YouTube called What If We Wrote Our Own Declaration of Independence All they did was destroy my movie making capabilities and jam up my email for a while.

I think No Such Agency was responsible for the Stuxnet worm that recently hit Iran.

Iran Denies Malware Connection to Nuclear Delay
By WILLIAM YONG


TEHRAN — Iranian officials announced Monday that a “small leak” was the cause of the latest setback to starting up its first nuclear power plant, and said the delay had nothing to do with a malicious computer worm that has infected industrial plants across the country.

The head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, Ali Akbar Salehi, told the state-run IRNA news agency that engineers had found the leak while the reactor was being washed. The delay has forced Iranian officials to push back plans to bring the nuclear facility at Bushehr online, extending the inauguration to early next year.

Mr. Salehi denied the delay had any connection to the Stuxnet computer worm, which has affected more than 30,000 computers across Iran and has been found on some personal computers of staff members at the plant, which is located in southern Iran near the Persian Gulf. “This issue has nothing to do with the virus,” he said.

But even if the malware did not infect control systems at the plant, the delay is yet another setback for a nuclear facility that has been dogged for years by technical problems and foot-dragging by Iran’s Russian partners.

All those posts about Agent Mike were fun to read. And I think the people posting them enjoyed it too. Let's do it again for old times sake.
