Sure, it made for a fine photo op. But based on the Bush 
administration's decision-making processes there is good reason to 
believe that A) the people at the NSA who created the mock-ups for 
public relations purposes died unexpectedly and the people who took over 
their jobs didn't know that the intelligence they were looking at was 
meaningless drivel produced for the benefit of manipulating public 
opinion, or B) the NSA is only showing the Bush administration the same 
mock-ups that the rest of us get to see.

In either case, the whole show begs the question "Who's really in 
charge?" as well as "What electronic voting equipment manufacturer 
elected THEM President?"

Best,
