That these congressmen went to known web sites with malware on them. And then they blame others for their failure to secure their computers. What fools! Grow up and join the new world. You have to run anti-virus and anti-spyware software, update security patches on your computer, and do not go to sites with malware on them. These congressmen are just trying to drum up anti-China fervor by supporting known anti-chinese groups for infections on their computers that happened 2 years ago. China has every right to view these groups the same way Americans view Osama Bin Laden and Al-queda. So it is my understanding that these computers were not up on anti-spyware software updates.

Computer hacking is very difficult to trace. Anybody can set up computer proxy that can appears originated from China. Unless the US congressmen can come up with some evidents (normally that would require coordination from Chinese govenmment), the story is most political statement in an election year.

So, either 1) the hackers didn't care if the IPs got traced to China, 2) they intended the IPs be so traced, 3) they were careless or stupid, or 4) the IPs were spoofed and the actual location is somewhere else, perhaps inside the US- perhaps from a Washington embassy for example.
