Bob Woodward is known to hang out on this site so that’s probable an accident waiting to happen too.

Known by whom, and by what evidence? That's the first time I've seen this suggested...though I wouldn't doubt it.

Do you mean this story? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3040321/posts? If so, it wasn't related to Snowden's lawyers.

Ask the folks at Breitbart.com. They showed the first one, then dropped the matter entirely.

David Brock for one

That'll be the easiest hit they've ever done. Cut his coke with some rat poison and call it a day.

YESSIR — even and especially when others start it, of course.

You certainly put me in MY place.

A quick search on 'ixquick' using "is it possible to remotely seize control of a car" as a search term brought up this little gem: vehicle computer systems hacks

<< Anybody who has information that volatile and has not made provisions for it upon death is a total fool. >>

How can we be sure he DIDN’T make provisions? Assuming he was being closely monitored by FBI/NSA before he died, he could have underestimated their ability to know exactly what his backup plans were. If i were in the business of killing people for Presidents and other high-ranking politicians, i wouldn’t do it until i could be absolutely sure the victim’s backup plan had been neutralized first (or simultaneously). Hey, I’ve watched Jack Baeur AND done the Holiday Inn Express!

More likely, assuming he was murdered, he probably didn’t realize yet how volatile his new investigate story was. Do we know what he was working on? I read somewhere it was Benghazi.

You left out center. CENTER fuel tank. And no one could have seen a missile with their own lying eyes because it didn’t exist.

It was, of course, not a diesel. The Mercedes C-class is not available with a diesel in the USA. It was an entry-level C250 Coupe with a 1.8 liter, 200 h.p. gasoline engine, around $40K.

1.8 liter? Good God, what is that, 175 c.i.?

That’s about 110 cubic inches.

And can't be stopped by turning the key?

From the link in 92:

... the team was also able to "lock and unlock the doors; jam the door locks by continually activating the lock relay; pop the trunk; adjust interior and exterior lighting levels; honk the horn (indefinitely and at varying frequencies); disable and enable the window relays; disable and enable the windshield wipers; continuously shoot windshield fluid; and disable the key lock relay to lock the key in the ignition." Even the Electronic Brake Control Module was no match for the onslaught, with both individual and sets of brakes locked up at a whim. Equally worrying, the researchers were also able to completely disengage the brakes "even with car’s wheels spinning at 40 MPH while on jack stands" in the lab and then out on the test track (a de-commissioned airport runway) "forcibly activate the brakes, lurching the driver forward and causing the car to stop suddenly."
Not sure exactly what that means. Actually locked into the start position or just locked into the console so you can't remove the key after turning it off?
