>>We hack China?

Of course we do and probably every political entity we are juxtaposed against, who didn't already know that?

>>Will he tell us China hacks us?

I can help with that. Yes China hacks us.

>>Will he tell us Iran hacks us?

I can help with that. Yes Iran hacks us.

>>Will he tell us about Russia?

I can help with that. Yes Russia hacks us.

>>Will he tell us who hacked climategate?"

That would be nice.

>>Will he tell me if Blackwater is spying on me on behalf of Monsanto cuz my Grange supports GMO labeling?

That would be nice.

>>Can he send me the e-mails between the Kochs and Eric Cantor?

You don't see that as an invasion of privacy? Its kind of a grey area for me. Political communications should be a matter of public record but a politician's private life should be protected.

>>My phone was tapped in '82, (if not B4), I've had manned chopper drones flying thru my airspace since about '86 in the War on Marijuana. I'm one who never believed the Eye of Sauron went away

They have me too. Most of us would be saying 'not by the hair of my chinny chin chin,' if they showed up at the door saying, 'we want to look at your stuff.' Somehow electronic invasions seem less personal so we just ignore it. It is personal but we can't put our finger on it until something like this.

I'll have more Whistle Blowers please... and pass it around.

'I'm for "hang by the balls until dead".'

Apparently, I'm not the only one who thinks like that....

Flashback of the Day


"Those people should be shot in the balls."

-- NSA leaker Edward (Eddie da Vole) Snowden, quoted by Ars Technica in 2009, in response to individuals who leaked government information later published in the New York Times.
