I know a family friend who recently got a MS in Information Assurance at night and it got him great paying government (contractor) job with a US security clearance with a huge pay increase.
That move will serve him great for the rest of his career.

I recall reading back in summer 2009 about a massive Cyber attack hitting the US government origin from Asia.

The attack in the form of cyber spies on the computer networks.

They also say their are DOMESTIC targets. WTH does that mean, seriously? If this includes conservatives, then we now have planning for military (digital) attacks on Americans. I am surprised this is not getting more attention, though the news did come late in the week,

I keep thinking it is the CIA retribution for Obambi and Benghazi.

I agree with you. It’s spook revenge, beyond what Valerie Jarrett ever imagined she could do.

If it isn’t Obama leaking this stuff then it has to be a Liberal who is might hacked off.

So

CIA

You mean we didn’t have one yet?

It’s been in the news for years that the Chinese and others have been hacking into our government sites, stealing our secrets and we didn’t bother to have a strategy to hack them?!

Left-wingers are leaking no doubt since “The Guardian” is passing the leaks along.

The lefties don’t like to be burned and they realize Obama is doing things that he campaigned against and pointed the finger at Bush over.

I’m not comfortable with what’s been done with phone and internet monitoring whether Bush or Obama did it.

I’m not a leftie, but am concered about personal freedom and government that is too big and spends too much money on too many things.

Some of these leaks are directed by team 0bama. You can’t bring down a country unless you expose all of their intelligence and TRADE secrets. The big giveaway aimed at “leveling the playing field, internationally” further weakening America’s superpower status.

It’s not just the Guardian. There’s a lot coming from Canada too. These relatively free countries still have an interest in keeping USA free.

I'm not convinced of that. We have a systematic pattern of leaks supporting a single larger message - that Obama's people have gone rogue and no longer concern themselves with the Constitution. Someone wants Obama weakened even more than they want America harmed.

Actually, it’s not so much the Guardian that’s on fire as Glenn Greenwald. He’s getting the information leaked to him - not the Guardian.

Greenwald has a regular column space in the Guardian, and that’s why this is all appearing in the Guardian.
