Amazing work, but I can't help but to think that despite all of the effort put into it, it was still cracked by a handful of individuals over the course of a few months using standard statistical/mathematical programming tools.

Why haven't FBI analysts done the same already? Is it conceivable that it was already done, just simply never publicized for whatever unknown government reason? One imagines that solving this publicly unsolvable mystery is actually a standard initiation exercise for new recruits into the elite circles of NSA codebreakers.
