No, and neither do you. But that doesn't stop you from accusing Russia or others. Melinda Jul 2013 #155
do you have any evidence whatsoever that russia is responsible? frylock Jul 2013 #72

By saying anything it might be taken as an admission of guilt by some. hrmjustin Jul 2013 #61
Well, that carries the unfortunate consequence of calling Morales a liar. sibelian Jul 2013 #65
That is not proof. I don't like the idea of calling him a liar but he is making accusations hrmjustin Jul 2013 #68
Whatever happens, I think he'd better say something, and soon. sibelian Jul 2013 #92

No I have not heard anything. But again I say there is still no evidence. hrmjustin Jul 2013 #99
It's already being reported that our ambassador was the one who started the Snowden rumour. lark Jul 2013 #104
Where was this reported? I heard our ambassador talked to the Austrians that night but that is all I hrmjustin Jul 2013 #105
Ever heard of Caretha Jul 2013 #163
If he is responsible for this then yes he should say sorry. hrmjustin Jul 2013 #168
