Letters: Unsecure email servers by another name

Once upon a time, in the year 1780, a young Army officer in New York was hanged. He had been caught carrying spy papers from the treasonous Benedict Arnold to Sir Henry Clinton, the general in charge of the British Army.

Interestingly, this sort of thing seems to be repeating itself in our own time, mirrored by a type of correspondence called email and involving high-ranking government officials. Hmmm.
