So why the restriction on distribution? Not that it has been effective.

There ya go. That sounds staggeringly similar to the argument against releasing the breathalyzer source code. It isn’t effective, ergo don’t release it because it’s embarassing (but let’s say don’t release it for security instead, sounds better!).

It’s just a review of what is known, moreover there is nothing there I have not seen discussed elsewhere in the blogosphere. So why the restriction on distribution? Not that it has been effective.

I was thinking “I’m shocked, shocked to discover right-wing groups are rattling their sabers due to the election of Obama and insane rhetoric from Republicans…” or something like that. ;^}
