Well, we have the makings of a great plot in the form of helping to
crack an encrypted file that could contain evidence of political crimes
that would make watergate pale in comparison.

I doubt that it needs a cluster -- anybody that would leave
incriminating information around (encrypted or not) in a publically
accessible place is bound to be stupid enough to choose a crypt key like
"elephant_man" or "republicans_rule".  Or the name of their collie.
crack is overkill.  Fifteen minutes of hunt and peck and they'll have
it.

The only question is -- comedy or tragedy?

I wanna be played by John Malkovich.
