  Why would the US's NIST choose any of these ciphers or
even ask for submissions when the NSA develops ciphers
all of the time, and probably has something in the back
of the filing cabinet that would have met all of the NIST
criteria?
 
 Didn't they develop SKIPJACK and then release it into the
public domain after the whole Clipper key-escrow thing
failed?
