...attacks - code named Titan Rain - are still hitting secure government networks here and abroad. And the country can thank in large measure the type of fecklessness that Sandia's managers showed in handling Carpenter's case. Sandia actually has a huge security apparatus designed to ensure that the nuclear lab's secrets stay safe. But when Carpenter said he would continue trying to solve the case on his own time as a matter of conscience, Sandia trained that security apparatus on him.

Oh, and (1) and (2) have to happen just about simultaneously...
...been just dinner party bonhomie, but this was hardly the reception we had expected from representatives of a country with whom ours is on a course to collision, possibly towards war. Iran suspects the U.S. is planning to attack it, while the U.S. suspects Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons, and of arming radicals in Iraq who kill American soldiers. But the reception we got at the Iranian embassy in Damascus, of all places, suggests that Iran may be looking for a different sort of encounter...
