Great prompt feedback from everyone.  Please feel free to snip out
anything deemed non-useful. I'm afraid I'm out of the loop for a few
hours, so have at it.  I kind of agree with the comments arguing that
the current presentation may be muddying the waters a bit. My thinking
(while knowing nothing) was to try to get a rough historical context of
both how this incident progressed *publically* and also how other
projects have been compromised in the past. Perhaps not appropriate. So
please, slash away as desired.

Thanks to all for the rapid, smart responses
