Given that a NSA dev team was well aware that the spyware would be discovered and disassembled at some point in time, it was reasonable to intentionally leave behind evidence that points to countries other than the US. I'm not saying that's what happened, but I'd not take the cricket references too serious either.

Using that logic, what would constitute evidence? That's like the senator in favor of the Japanese interment camps saying that the fact that no Japanese Americans had committed a crime was just even more evidence they were planning something.

Edit: More clearly written than my comment: http://lesswrong.com/lw/ih/absence_of_evidence_is_evidence_o...

But basically, people have already come to a conclusion. If the comments said "go <Virginia sports team>", that'd be considered evidence of made in the USA. And if the comments say " go English sports team " then that's evidence of have in the USA, because obviously comments are misleading.

Why not go recursive? They wrote about cricket because they wanted to frame the Americans, who always write misleading comments to frame the Brits.

So I can clearly not choose the drink that is in front of you!
That's what I get for fighting a land war in Asia.
