Did Muslims just retaliate for Stuxnet virus?

The U.S. Drone Fleet Is Fully Infected By A Computer Virus
Robert Johnson | Oct. 7, 2011, 1:35 PM

An unnamed computer virus is compromising the security of U.S. Reaper and Predator drones as they fly missions in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, and Pakistan.


Wired reports the virus was found about two weeks ago and hasn't kept the drone pilots at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada from conducting missions.

There haven't been any reports of classified data breaches, but the virus has resisted the military's best efforts to remove it.

Compromising the security?

Well, that's something, I suppose.

But the Stuxnet virus shut down as many as 1000 centrifuges in Iran. If this is retaliation, it's the equivalent of 40 lashes with a wet noodle.

Also, one wonders: why would the military make this public? Are they "shaking the tree," i.e., trying to smoke someone out?

PS: Cool video on Stuxnet.
