Hate to be the guy trying to kill the story, but this article absolutely doesn't belong here. It's political gossip. I really don't want to see this type of stuff when I come to HN, it's not even remotely "gratifying one's intellectual curiosity".
"On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

It certainly makes me wonder how they got themselves into that position, and how they'll be continuing their studies.
