Targeting Huawei: NSA Spied on Chinese Government and Networking Firm

[MADem]

40. But..... but...... but......!!!

Just upthread, I'm being told that Snowden isn't doing the leaking!!!

That he doesn't have "control" of those documents anymore!!!!

He can't "stop" the leaking, even if he wanted to!!!!!

So why bring him home? What difference will it make? Leave him in his Russian prison, in a land where he can really enjoy the Russian definition of "freedom."

People are already "ho-humming" over this stuff. Why? Because everytime Snowden's li'l buddies leak something, we learn something very similar about the targets of the NSA's investigation. We're spying on our allies? They are spying on us, AND each other--and SHARING their data! Ooooh, we're spying on poor widdle China? They're probably already IN your computer, to say nothing of half the platforms in the frigging Pentagon.

No one--and I mean no one--does more computer hacking/spying/intruding than the Chinese. They make us look like total pikers.

Now more people will realize it.

Eddie--unintentionally or otherwise, aware or not--has finally done the NSA a solid. This lastest "leak" --aimed at Obama in an effort to embarrass the nation as his wife and children are on a goodwill tour -- has had the opposite effect and has benefitted their battered reputation.

Ain't that peculiar?

Now, the question is this--was that serendipity, an accident, a tactical mistake ... or part of a strategic roll-out?
