Pfffftt! Do they honestly believe they can contain the lurch of data? That stuff is everywhere by now. It’s been scattered to the wind like dandelion seeds. Some of them may be snatched up by the beaks of government birds, but most will settle and sprout anew in foreign lands.
Once the data is out and made public, it’s everywhere. The ability for anyone to copy data from one flash drive to another takes seconds.

These British dummies do not realize there backups of backups.
What a crock!

I didn’t realize that the reporter was a sodomite. There were those articles about his “partner,” David Miranda. Partner is “British” for lover.

To: xzins
Because nobody has offsite secure backup storage?

The only ‘strategy’ is to send a message.
Mess with us and we’ll destroy you.
To: xzins
Because thumb drives haven’t been invented yet.
And reporters won’t take copies of key documents home and give them to their auntie for safe keeping.

Given that the ‘Snowden Files’ heretofore leaked have proved mostly embarrassing to the US Feds over the extent of domestic spying...
One wonders what the Brits have to fear/hide...
To: xzins
Idiots. Why did they just not turn off the machines or lock up the hard drives in a safe somewhere.
I'm sure they have them. Not even Snowden can sniff data off an inactive drive. Not yet anyway.
Wonder if there was something even more embarrassing on those drives, something the politicians wanted destroyed.

Fear of you spy on us, we'll spy on you agreements being made public? Fear of proof of NSA installing the intercepts and man-in-the-middle into their own infrastructure? Proof that the King Queen was born in Kenya?

Enemy governments have had the info for years, they are just protecting politicians and power brokers from us.

Austin Powers is based on REAL British Agents.

To: Doofer
Well, I haven’t been following it too closely, to be honest. I know the general details, but not the juicy bits...

This was discussed on another thread yesterday. Many journalists in that generation are gay, bi or curious. The prevalence is astounding actually. it might be more difficult to find a journalist in that age group happily married to a member of the opposite sex with 2 conventionally conceived children.
