Had some interesting conversation with some coworkers regarding some of the
NSA/Snowden news, more specifically the release stating that the NSA paid RSA
to to put a backdoor in the BSafe crypto.  The conversation was regarding the
reliability of the leaks attributed to Snowden.  How difficult would it be for
parties interested in the damaging the reputation of these server vendors
and/or the NSA (or RSA) to fabricate these stories and attribute it to leaked
information from Snowden that nobody has seen?
