National security is an oxymoron.
Any one working for the gestapo (even Navy Seals) should know they are complicit in aiding and abetting the crimes of those who use our nation-head to do evil all over the world.
Upstanding military and covert men should do their duty and walk away from the criminal organization known as the United States.
Make all the information public. No more national secrets. We don't need national secrets. Individual secrets are a matter of respect for private property. Without, you don't have civilization. National secrets again are just a way to foist a mafia on our national letterhead.
If we get into another war, it will be won technologically any way.
Topic: Snowden Lied About China Contacts - page 2. (Read 1595 times)
Yesterday, the New York Times urged the Obama administration to offer Edward Snowden “a plea bargain or some form of clemency.” The paper called the former NSA contractor “a whistle-blower” for his exposure of “the vast scope” of the NSA’s “reach into the lives of hundreds of millions of people in the United States and around the globe.”
Perhaps Snowden is what the Times portrays him to be, a hero of sorts, yet the editors of the paper rushed to judgment. In their editorial they did not even raise the possibility that he passed along vital national security secrets to China. It is likely he did so.
“I have had no contact with the Chinese government,” Snowden wrote in a Q&A on the Guardian website while taking refuge in Hong Kong in June. “I only work with journalists.”
That’s far short of the truth. By the time he wrote those words in the online chat, Snowden, according to one of my sources in Hong Kong, had at least one “high-level contact” with Chinese officials there. Those officials suggested he give an interview to the South China Morning Post, the most prominent English-language newspaper in Hong Kong. This is significant because, as the Post noted, Snowden turned over to the paper documents that contained detailed technical information on the NSA’s methods. Included in these documents were Hong Kong and Chinese IP addresses that the NSA was surveilling. The disclosure of those addresses was not whistle-blowing; that was aiding China.
