...which, of course, means that it is being picked up by
ABC, CBS, NBC, and virtually every other news-gathering
operatioon on the planet. Here's yet another sample:

I sure hope it works out for everyone involved, but I'm
pretty sure there will be enough casualty for all parties
involved, especially innocent bystanders.

It sure looks like a PR disaster for Cisco and ISS, a
win for Michael Lynn in his determination to shed some
truth, and a loss for Cisco customers who are currently
standing around scratching their heads, unsatisfied with
the PR "release" surrounding the entire incident.
