#1 Appears they've once again, successfully masked foreign intelligence service involvement. Nothing from Admiral Rogers at NSA? I thought not.

BTW, with FB and the POMS, why do we even need an NSA ?

I saw him on TV yesterday and asked a buddy - 'On a scale of 1 to 10, what's this guy look like on the dork scale?' He said fifteen.

#5 I want to know who the contact was and what country.

The country is Australia and I forget the name of the contact. This information has been known for quite some time. It has been discussed at length on The Conservative Treehouse.

#10 Wikipedia

In 2005 Australian members of the spiritual group Falun Gong launched action against Downer in the ACT Supreme Court alleging that his department had unfairly limited their freedom of expression.[30][31]

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade under Downer was accused by Chinese diplomat and defector Chen Yonglin of closely collaborating with the Chinese Embassy in Canberra, even to the extent of "giving suggestions to the Chinese Government on how to handle difficult political cases." Downer was accused of pursuing an unduly strong pro-China policy and failing to address human rights violations adequately.[32]

In September 2007, on the sidelines of the 2007 APEC Conference in Sydney, Downer indicated that Australia planned to launch bilateral ministerial-level security talks with the People's Republic of China. Downer also stated, "China is a good partner of Australia. Whatever the differences there are between us in terms of our political systems, human rights issues, China is a very important part of the strategic architecture, the security architecture of the Asia-Pacific region and it's important we have good forums to discuss any issues of that kind with them.
