I believe Mr. Snowden committed what would generally be called "libel"
and had every reason on earth to apologize.

I personally am not a fan of Checkpoint FW1 -- I think that it is too
easy to misconfigure and have some other issues with it -- but the
grotesque slanders you and others are spreading, filled with innuendo
and absolutely no content, disgust me to my core.

The rest of your message, which seems to be "we can't trust Israelis
and have to assume FW1 is filled with back doors", is about as low on
the scale as I can imagine a professional in our world sinking. You
should be ashamed of yourself.

Actually, you seem to draw most of your conclusions using other methods.
