The dumbest article ever written

Is this the dumbest article ever written?

For years, rumours have been around that the NSA has a back door into Windows, this only encourages the tin foil hat brigade.

But what I really like is the idea that the NSA has a clue. This is the agency that's got everything from the Bay of Pigs to Iraq's weapons of mass destruction wrong. They totally missed the collapse of the Soviet Union and the September 11 attacks.

The kicker is this paragraph.

Microsoft said this is not the first time it has sought help from the NSA. For about four years, Microsoft has tapped the spy agency for security expertise in reviewing its operating systems, including the Windows XP consumer version and the Windows Server 2003 for corporate customers.

Gee, they did a good job on Windows XP.
