You telling us this might violate your security agreement and clearance nadinbrzezinski Oct 2013 #13

No, this is public knowledge and published in standard security training.... nothing secrety. Adrahil Oct 2013 #14

I am sure you telling us this is allowed too nadinbrzezinski Oct 2013 #15

Josh, you're good at covering economic issues, so go ahead and make stuff up about spying Shampoyeto Oct 2013 #24

None of us 'knows' anything. Even Marshall is putting his opinion out there. randome Oct 2013 #28

it was not an opinion Shampoyeto Oct 2013 #29

It was a 3 paragraph blurb with his by-line, not a story with facts and figures. randome Oct 2013 #31

Factual claims dont necessarily have to be accompanied by figures Shampoyeto Oct 2013 #33

I edited my original post. The article is headlined 'TPM Editor's Blog'. It's his opinion. randome Oct 2013 #40

That is not the article's headline Shampoyeto Oct 2013 #42

Okay, okay, poor wording on my part. It's still a blog post. randome Oct 2013 #46

France, Germany, the UK all have the capability, ergo they are doing it. SamYeager Oct 2013 #47

How do you know that? nt Shampoyeto Oct 2013 #48

They have the same access to high technology as we do. SamYeager Oct 2013 #49

Where did you read that? nt Shampoyeto Oct 2013 #50
