Just wait, the NSA will release 'evidence' that he has some 'disgusting' sexual kink and ask for a re-trial. :lol:

He needs to be careful, whoring himself around - someone will likely hand him over to the US on a quid pro quo basis.

Yeah, I mean it's not like the Russians took him in out of compassion.

They are more politically and ideologically opposed to the US government, and are probably less likely to cash him in for a favour; for fear of Putin losing his hard man image. I'm betting that played a big part in his decision to go there.

Wouldn't surprise me. Can't remember if I've mentioned this before, but an author who was looking into a loyalist paramilitary group and the death of it's leader saw his PC connect to the net and then wipe itself (his work was on another machine). And that was in the days of dial-up. His wife also got a call when he was out, saying there was a package at the local sorting office; there wasn't, it was to get her out of the house...

That could have been conventional spying and wire tapping.

Tech companies call for 'aggressive' NSA reforms at White House meeting

Netflix?! I know they use a lot of bandwidth, but... maybe the NSA monitors all the Breaking Bad watchers.

And Bruce Schneier has left BT, claims it has nothing to do with the NSA scandal and his blogging over the Snowden leaks.

I would have thought that it would have been the FBI, for those using Breaking Bad as a chemistry class in how to make Meth. :lol:

Russia has never worked with Edward Snowden, says Putin

I could actually believe that somehow.

Obama review panel: strip NSA of power to collect phone data records

• Review proposes greater authority for spying on foreign leaders

• Government 'should be banned from undermining encryption'

• Forty-six recommendations in 300-page report released early

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/d ... view-panel

That's a smokescreen as it currently stands, especially the metadata issue when they've actually got bulk descriptive data and the algorithmic software to collate it all.

That was fast. Do you think that they had this report in the drawer just in case this ever became public record? ;)
