Dave,
 I thought the IP ers might enjoy this story.  Seems as though FBI Super 
Mole Robert Hanssen passed a PROMIS software derivative to the Russians 
who then sold it to bin Laden who used it to keep tab on the Feds. Seems 
as though acting FBI Director Tom Pickard will have his work cut out for 
him with this mess.
