I wasn't alive during the Nixon's reign of wtfs, but I don't think Nixon, or indeed anyone engaging in underhanded political subterfuge, would be particularly worried about the log files at insecure.org, which is what my commentary pertained to.
Just because they *weren't* worried about the logfiles doesn't mean that they *shouldn't* be worried about the log files. For those who weren't around at the time - the only reason the whole Watergate mess unfolded was because a Watergate security guard saw where one of the burglars had taped a door latch open. Only reason the guard saw it was because the dumb burglar had run the tape horizontally, not vertically..... Most crooks, be they burglars trying to score enough money for their next hit of crack, or heads of state, end up getting caught because of stupid things like masking tape put on wrong or a logfile entry for their wget command...
