Brits to Snowden..

Piss off...


The Associated Press saw a photograph of the document taken Friday at a Thai airport. A British diplomat confirmed that the document was genuine and was sent out to airlines around the world. Airlines in Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore also confirmed the alert had been issued.

The diplomat said such alerts are issued to carriers that fly into the U.K and any carrier that brings Snowden will be liable to be fined 2,000 British pounds. He said Snowden would likely have been deemed by the Home Office to be detrimental to the "public good."

I mean, how much can I get per post that bashes Snowden or Greenwald? Do I get double the rate for bashing both in the same OP?

And all the folk who get paid for accusing other posters of being paid to accuse other posters of being paid to post!

I read somewhere that it's the fastest growing sector of the economy and that by 2030 half of the jobs in America will involve paid posting on the internet!

Not.About.Snowden

I hope you like the NSA as much when a Republican is in charge. Oops, they already are:

"In 2003 Alexander, a favorite of defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld, was named the Army’s deputy chief of staff for intelligence, the service’s most senior intelligence position. Among the units under his command were the military intelligence teams involved in the human rights abuses at Baghdad’s Abu Ghraib prison. Two years later, Rumsfeld appointed Alexander—now a three-star general—director of the NSA, where he oversaw the illegal, warrantless wiretapping program while deceiving members of the House Intelligence Committee. In a publicly released letter to Alexander shortly after The New York Times exposed the program, US representative Rush Holt, a member of the committee, angrily took him to task for not being forthcoming about the wiretapping: “Your responses make a mockery of congressional oversight.”

Yeah, there is NO WAY a disciple of Rummy would ever do anything without a FISA warrant

The truth is the Brits are the one who orchestrated the leak.

British intelligence have been putting all out pressure on Obama to engage in Syria, remember the NSA story was broke by the London Guardian, this scandal is just the latest scandal starting with benghazi that has been orchestrated to push the adminstration into war with Syria, for as much grief as I give Obama I will give him the credit for showing restraint against all the pressure he is under to wage this war.

Let's be clear here the people that are orchestrated all of this do not care about any Syrians, don't care about Iraqi's, Libyans, or Americans.

That's all I will say!

Dont they have cameras covering every inch of London? They dont have full freedom of the press either.
