Jeremy Scahill, a contributor to The Nation magazine and the New York Times best-selling author of "Dirty Wars," said he will be working with Glenn Greenwald, the Rio-based journalist who has written stories about U.S. surveillance programs based on documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.

"The connections between war and surveillance are clear. I don't want to give too much away but Glenn and I are working on a project right now that has at its center how the National Security Agency plays a significant, central role in the U.S. assassination program," said Scahill, speaking to moviegoers in Rio de Janeiro, where the documentary based on his book made its Latin American debut at the Rio Film Festival.

So this is basically the equivalent to the govt opening mail at the post office, then resealing it and sending on it's way, right?

More like reading the hand written note as Bill is writing, then letting him put it in the mail.

this is really fascinating to me. that an army of low 100k government computer guys can break into the systems of a corp that happily pays top talent 7 figs and up.

the private guys probably don't consider that the NSA will do patently illegal crap to hack them.

According to the leaked documents, the NSA is rerouting millions of records from Yahoo's and Google's internal networks to the agency's headquarters at Fort Meade.

Some jobs attract talent with salary. Others with the opportunity to do things you can't do in the private sector.

i was drunk(notice the physical threat i made). i don't know what i was going for there, maybe unconventional rather that "patently illegal"? like, the NSA probably has more physical access to sensitive areas than do the private hacking firms.

i know nothing about computers or how info is obtained. but i heard that when that little sticky note diagram was projected in front of a room of google engineers that they completely lost their crap.

The engineers who wrote it for the Luddite managers who don't understand technology probably got an equally big kick out of it. I mean, if you created something that effective and then had to dumb it down that much for your bosses, wouldn't it almost be enjoyable?

I am 99% sure the bosses still didn't get it after the post it.  I bet there was like a 4 hr conference call/meeting with a lunch break and everything going over that post it again and again.

U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom declined to discuss the case Saturday. But in May, he told students during an event at Wichita State University that authorities monitor extremists groups' websites, including Inspire magazine.

"Do not go to this website," Grissom said. "You will be on our list."

a few months ago i went looking for information on how al qaeda communicates, and part of my search included downloads of inspire magazine. looks like i've landed myself on the most serious of watchlists. i'm sure that each keystroke from the sites i frequent is now neatly catalogued in an archive. you are all very welcome.
