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.

Is the lock on your front door designed to only prevent legal entry?

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.
