The Portrait of an "Olympic Host" -- Hacking reports raise concerns
about cyberthreat from China

-- Micky's HO: This article ended with the following notion: "Admiral
Michael Mullen, the U.S. chief of naval operations, said he was allowed
a revealing tour of defense facilities and exercises ahead of a visit by
Representative Ike Skelton, a Missouri Democrat who chairs the House
Armed Services Committee. Skelton said that China had been candid about
its military capabilities." It reminds me the history of US - China
relationship: over sixty years ago, General George C. Marshal and
numerous US intellectuals believed that Chinese Communists were China's
"Freedom fighters" and "defenders of democracy" !! --
