    Predator Software Pirated?

    This isn't good:

    Intelligent Integration Systems (IISi), a small Boston-based software development firm, alleges that their Geospatial Toolkit and Extended SQL Toolkit were pirated by Massachusetts-based Netezza for use by a government client. Subsequent evidence and court proceedings revealed that the "government client" seeking assistance with Predator drones was none other than the Central Intelligence Agency.
    IISi is seeking an injunction that would halt the use of their two toolkits by Netezza for three years. Most importantly, IISi alleges in court papers that Netezza used a "hack" version of their software with incomplete targeting functionality in response to rushed CIA deadlines. As a result, Predator drones could be missing their targets by as much as 40 feet.

    Hmmm I wonder if Obama will take the Bush route and just squash the lawsuit under State Secrets

    He seems to have no qualms with using the State Secrets BS, either. You know, "hope", "change"...a new kind of politician? Yeah, right...all the same, all the same.
