Mossad: "Stuxnet is our Baby" Pres Obama disclosed it for electoral reasons

From Will at The Other News, via The Atlantic:
Mossad: "Stuxnet is our Baby" Pres Obama disclosed it for electoral reasons.(TA).Israel’s officials have a message for anyone praising the CIA for its sophisticated cyber attack on Iran: It was our baby. The Stuxnet computer worm, described by David Sanger in The New York Times last week as an invention by the Bush administration, was actually developed by Mossad, according to Israeli officials speaking with Haaretz journalist Yossi Melman on condition of anonymity:

The Israeli officials actually told me a different version. They said that it was Israeli intelligence that began, a few years earlier, a cyberspace campaign to damage and slow down Iran’s nuclear intentions. And only later they managed to convince the USA to consider a joint operation — which, at the time, was unheard of.

Hi. Pasto.

Anything to get reelected.
Leak ....what, who, where.......It's 'offensive' to us.

By the way have you noticed?The #IBApasto widget is no longer updating, twitter seems angry with you guys.
I've tried the twitter search nothing since 06 june.
You're on the 'enemies list' i guess. :)

I don't use Twitter, so I did not notice.

Maybe Alexander's kids shut it down.

He started the account, right?

It seems twitter is ignoring the hashtag #IBApasto.
I think they pick up any hashtag somehow they ignore this one, perhaps someone 'complained'?

Since I have never used Twitter, I do not know what "ignoring" means.
