How dare you did "View Source", you hacker.
along your lines of considering the forum, wouldn't it need to be aiding && abetting? i don't know how to bitwise compare aiding to abetting.
"The Governor is in possession of software on his personal computer that allows him to decrypt the personal details of thousands of constituents who may have voted for or against him."
