a CNET link at the beginning of ThinkSecret debacle

ThinkSecret mentioned briefly here, but also talks about another case of attacking the messenger for info on information leakage. In a different world, the company would look _internally_ for the fault of the leaks, not externally to squash people (sometimes ‘helpless’ student types in the case of ThinkSecret) for what’s already taken place. Preventative? Maybe – but doesn’t explain the viciousness except to send a message to the ‘little guy’.
