ParticipantHow scary is this:
A declassified US military report into the killing of Italian military intelligence agent, Dr. Nicola Calipari, by US soldiers as he accompanied journalist Giuliana Sgrena to Baghdad International Airport in March was posted online at a US military website. But this document was recently removed after an Italian newspaper showed that all you have to do is copy and paste from the pdf to read all the bits that seem to have been struck out by the censors’ black pen. (Or if you happen to own the full version of Adobe Acrobat, you could simply delete the black censor boxes to reveal the classified information.)
Italian newspaper Repubblica has posted a copy of the pdf here.
Isn’t it comforting to know that the US Government can not even properly secure a simple PDF document?

MemberWell, talking about using network intelligence or internet security, or even just securing websites, I seriously want to work for CIA to either help them in securing their network, or helping them hacking or tracking down terrorist websites and helping them in Anti – Terrorism activities, but then I just realize that its not possible because I am not an US citizen. I will be really happy to know or realize if CIA does have some provisions or rules regarding accepting international students studying in US who are willing to work for the US government for anti – terrorism cell.

The saddest and the worst thing is at the career fair in my college many companies like ESPN, L3 communications, etc, which are like the best internet security companies, were present and when they looked at my resume they were thrilled and jumped with joy because I have everything they were looking for… But then, each time, they had this restriction that, they can take ONLY US citizens, so sadly, they had to reject me even if like I was the only guy there with almost all things required for such jobs.
Any tips/advices regarding this will be most welcomed.
