Edward Snowden, like Valerie Plame, and Oliver North, provides a welcome distraction from larger issues of widespread government wrong doing, and gives the government a focal platform to posture and gesticulate their very culpable outrage.
Tangental, but an interesting observation, I've heard stories from co-workers arriving in North America from different continents, how U.S. bases pay for everything with stacks of cash.
As though the military bases are part of the strategy for keeping the greenback in circulation. Military money laundering...This attitude that the unipolar world is the U.S' playground is pretty well ensconced in foreign policy.
The DOJ acting in this manner is not really surprising.
With stuxnet, and it's variants, its clear that state actors are using software and the internet to commit acts of war/ This is about making that theatre of war an official domain
of the pentagon, and MI complex.
It's just an added benefit that it will also provide a means to react in a more timely manner to quell populist dissent when it arises.
Social Networking meets peer to peer design, non centralized protocol based social networking, with some sort of built in key based encryption...wouldn't that be cool.
No doubt there's probably someone out there working on that, but how to make it popular, how to hedge the existing social networking 'mental bandwidth' (limited though that may be) of the current social networking population.
He may be a dem, but he's a likudnik hawk operating from the dem side of the chamber, right-wing is a little meaningless in todays 'centrist' bipartisan oligarchy.
Techdirt has not posted any stories submitted by pdem.
Re: Re: snowden = ollie north 3.0
Nope, meant Plame, the photogenic poster-boy/girl as a front
for controlled burn outrage. Libby isn't as sympathetic a scapegoat.

she's a war profiteer
She and her significant other, both have all kinds of cozy holdings with big defense contractors, she's a war criminal, and should be in jail.
the point of these FBI conconcted terrorist 'plots'
may simply be a method to intimidate grass-roots level folks who are disgruntled with the powers that be.
In that context, these sexed up 'terrorist hoaxes' are probably working very nicely.
ahem, stuxnet, and variants...
