    Your're right... this wasn't a big news item here today. I read defense releases and Stratfor and got wind of it . This was revealed today when Lynn unveiled a new cyber security strategery in a speech .

    As to who may have hacked the Pentagon Computers ;I have my suspicions . All I know for sure is that it wasn't Pfc Bradley Manning .
