Subject: Scandal: IT Security firm hires the author of Sasser worm

Do you honestly expect any right thinking person to disagree? This
practice is literally no different than a local police force hiring
convicted felons on as officers because they "have a deep understanding
of the criminal mind." 

Bad analogy again. If the courts had hired him to secure their network
maybe. Plenty of security firms hire ex-crims as guards. Why is it wrong
that this IT security company hires an ex-crim?
