DoD / Tech. Sgt. Andy Dunaway, USAF

China has denied responsibility for a large raid on the Department of Defense’s computer network, attributing the accusation to a “Cold War mentality.” A senior U.S. official was quoted in the Financial Times as implicating the People’s Liberation Army in the attack, which forced the Pentagon to shut down its network for more than a week.

BBC:

China has denied reports that its military hacked into the computer network of the US Department of Defense in Washington.

A foreign ministry official said the claims “reflected Cold War mentality”.

The Financial Times quoted US officials as saying the Chinese army made the attack, which crashed part of a system for the defence secretary’s office.

It is more then likely all just Pentagon Propaganda. They must think they need some more diversions around report time!
Our whole gov’t has completely lost all credibility.
They are the “Sky Is Falling” crowd.
China is our RED friend and business partner.

if this is true then all it means to me is this; one dictatorship trying to keep tabs on another dictatorship.king george is just as evil as chairman or joseph stalin or hitler. the major difference between bush and mao,mao didn’t have to use fear and lies to keep the people in check. he used coercion and guns,bush’s wet dream. the constitution is just a goddamned piece of paper.
