    You sure posting a confidential report is legal? VZ security may have other ideas.

      I didn’t post the report or upload it here. I’m linking to it. As far as I know, that’s legal under Bartnicki.

      N.B.: By citing Bartnicki, I don’t mean to suggest that Cryptome obtained the file illegally. For all I know, someone in VZ or Stratfor could have leaked it to them. My point was that even if there was something illegal involved, media can still link to the file as it’s a matter of public interest and media had no involvement in anything illegal.
