Gay.

Really wish we'd stop feeding those fuckers' egos.

Perhaps.  The Stuxnet virus could only be done with a man on the inside.  Someone had to carry it in, and load it on to the computers onsite.

It's much easier than that. Find someone with access to the sites and make him your unwitting proxy.

For example, a contractor that works in these kinds of projects. Break into their office or staff homes and load the worm on their computers. Chances are it'll spread pretty much everywhere.

The problem with this is you risk the virus getting out on the net and possibly identified before it does it's damage.  In all likely hood, the Iranians prohibit certain things on the premises.  Things like outside thumb drives.  I suspect someone had to smuggle it on site.

That depends on how clever you are. All signs point to Stuxnet remaining undiscovered for months after deployment, despite being all over the place, including pretty much every Iranian computer.
