Good for Matt. That was pretty sharp. And perfectly correct.

Even if a former Brit were working for the NSA, and didn't have enough brains to change his spelling of these common words, where on earth would he pick up a British time stamp?

Well, I certainly hope we are spying on UN delegates and employees. Why shouldn't we? If they don't like it they can get the UN the f*** out of the US. Would tomorrow be convenient?

I understand it is extremely difficult if not impossible
for a non-US citizen to get a job at the NSA.

They'll claim that they changed to English spellings to make it easier on their readers and that the European time stamp was the default for the e-mail program he was using and he never got around to changing it.

It will fool the fools, but no one else.

Frankly I don't care if it was true. And I'm sorry to hear it may NOT be true. If the spooks aren't going to work the UN, what damned good are they? Lots of nasty countries and nasty characters here representing them.

Iraq's mission to the UN is in my neigborhood, for crying out loud.

Well, of course we're spying on them.

The question is, are we leaking to them?

Take note from the original thread on this story, that FReepers like TenthAmmendmentChampion beat the Drudge staff on the doubts raised concerning spelling and usage. KUDOS!

the leak / fake story was designed to remind the scumbags like Chirac and Schroeder and their minions that we know what's happening and are ready to start dumping the dirt. Remember, in the war on terrorism, and regarding states like Iraq that harbor terrorists, if you're not with us, you're against us.
