Sources not named by Reuters allege employee collusion:
Google (GOOG.O) is investigating whether one or more employees may have helped facilitate a cyber-attack from China that the U.S search giant said it was a victim of in mid-December, two sources told Reuters on Monday.
Extraordinary -- unnamed sources. Unnamed and yet virtually identified?
The sources, who are familiar with the situation, told Reuters that the attack, which targeted people who have access to specific parts of Google networks, may have been facilitated by people working in Google China's office.
In other words, other Google employees with an ax to grind? American executives who are sick and tired of surveillance? The PR department?
Furthermore, despite Google's claim to cease filtering, it is not evident that the company has made any change in Web search filtering.
This is a strange game of cat and mouse. We know what the cat wishes to do. What exactly is the mouse doing?
