British lawmakers to quiz Snowden leaks newspaper editor

LONDON Sat Nov 9, 2013 8:08am EST

(Reuters) - British lawmakers will question the editor of the Guardian newspaper next month over publishing intelligence files from U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowden after warnings from security chiefs that the leaks damaged UK national security.

Alan Rusbridger will appear before the House of Commons home affairs select committee, the Guardian said. "Alan has been invited to give evidence to the ... committee and looks forward to appearing next month," a spokeswoman said.

Disclosures about the activities of Britain's GCHQ eavesdropping agency and its close cooperation with the U.S. National Security Agency, have embarrassed Prime Minister David Cameron and angered lawmakers in his ruling Conservative party who say they have compromised national security.

(brackets, self-censored a deeper,more provocative, Fascist Israeli Government-related remark), then... in these present circumstances, ¿Who is the most vulnerable, most guilty, most easily blackmailable, in the middle?

Personal (and Family) powers that be in the: --> City of London.

The Propaganda's saying: ¿So What? Everyone's doing the same, 'cept, most can't afford what the Anglos think they can afford, mistakenly, imho, to do.. From my gone-native Anglo-Celtic-Spanish urrr perspective.

Take note: We have been warned that any 'outdated' concepts such as 'fair play' or 'morality', or... What do I want to say? Honesty? Personal Dignity?...

... Wankers, the cokeheads tell us.
