Everywere I read about this so far speculates that the government is concerned about reliability of the software sold by an Israeli-owned software maker. He speculates about this too and gives his own opinion based on this speculation. I didn't see any new facts in that article beyond a well put *opinion* about this speculation. > Well, I guess you didn't really read the article (perhaps you just read the > part where our company is mentioned?)

See that "apparently"? He's speculating like everyone else. He didn't bring any new information to the plate. Mind you, I like his view of this whole affair, but there is still a large gap about the facts and lots of room for speculation, IMHO. > product "that is used to protect computers with sensitive information" will > become owned by a Foreign company that will have control over the product.
