it is legal in uk for uk to spy on usa, and is legal in usa for usa to spy on uk, and they have certainly been know to swap data and do so all the time, w/ neither breaking local laws and both getting what they want on each other's citizens

the script had already been and continues to play out in the private banking arena

all very convenient

am guessing all main stream internet and software companies are a short, because even as they received immunity for the crimes they facilitated, but the immunity is only good in usa

am guessing that as the international law suits pile up, and their ip underwear is exposed for all to see, such ip-intensive companies would fail to justify their stock market valuations

let us watch & brief

Cheney can afford to try to talk trash to trigger wider disclosures as such would do more damage to Obama than bush. Bush is retired.

Cheney hint Snowden is a Chinese spy 'sheer nonsense', says China

China’s Foreign Ministry on Monday denied Edward Snowden was a Chinese spy and said the United States should give the world an explanation regarding its international internet surveillance programme.

In its first official response to the recent exposure of the US National Security Agency’s internet surveillance programme by whistleblower Edward Snowden, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said the US should pay attention to concerns of the international community on the issue.

Hua, in her daily briefing in Beijing, also hit back at the allegation that Snowden could be a spy for China, calling it “sheer nonsense”.

Former US vice president Dick Cheney told Fox News on Sunday that Snowden was a “traitor” and he raised questions over Snowdon's decision to flee to Hong Kong, hinting that he could be a spy for China.

I'm suspicious because [Snowdon] went to China. It raises questions whether or not he had that kind of connection before he did this
Dick Cheney, Former US Vice President
"I'm suspicious because he went to China. That's not a place where you would ordinarily want to go if you are interested in freedom, liberty and so forth," Cheney said, adding: "It raises questions whether or not he had that kind of connection before he did this."

Beijing has been tight lipped about the saga since Snowden revealed his identity to the media last week, only saying they have no information regarding the case.

But Hua said on Sunday that she is aware of media reports that saying Hong Kong citizens wanted Snowden to stay in the city, and that she is aware of the response of the Hong Kong government to the matter.

Half of Hong Kong people believe that cyberspying whistle-blower Edward Snowden should not be handed over if Washington makes a formal request for his return, according to an exclusive opinion poll [1]commissioned by the Sunday Morning Post.

Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying said on Saturday that "when the relevant mechanism is activated", the Hong Kong government would handle Snowden's case in accordance with the city's laws. He also said the government would follow up on any incidents related to the privacy or other rights of the institutions or people in Hong Kong being violated.

It is, to quote your "giggle", that Cheney wishes to paint young Edward as a china spy, while others of Cheney ilk tries to corner young Edward as a know-nothing-making-everything-up high school drop-out, except Booz has a difficult time explaining why they chose to pay a drop-out more money than new university graduates make on the high end.

At some point THEY are going to have to come up w/ consistent story minus the waffling, and then have that consistent lie pierced by the much simpler truth.

Am figuring the most vociferous denigrators are also the most likely ones w/ secrets to be exposed, and the silent ones must have some tails exposed to the rat trap. This being so, all have unsightly secrets.

We continue w/ the watch and brief.
