I'm surprised this information isn't being presented on Fox at all............ wonder if other networks have touched it.

My guess is that they may want to get more facts about this before they go with the story .. because if this story is true .. and I have no reason to doubt it .. this is HUGE

[bart99]

OK...... that idiodic comment about Fox was enough...... off to scan through other news threads. You all have a good evening/night. *waving*

Don't forget the remark that Clinton made, regarding our ignoring the UN security council. He said something about the US should be thinking about building the kind of world that we will want to live in when we are not the greatest power on the block.

Either Russia is able to decrypt the most sensitive British communications, +++

Do you believe in it? Russia has british "enigma" machine?
Or British so stupid that cann't invent even strong cyphers?
Or that I like more:)). Russians so smart that British never match for them.

>> looks like the bible was right afterall

care to explain?

[bart99]

My comment wasn't directed at you.... it was the idiot that posted about ten posts above yours. Didn't want you to think I was referring to you *s*

[aristeides]

If British intelligence is involved, well, then the report would be stained by some of their recent blunders.

Seems unlikely to me that the Brits would admit that their communications are being read, if it's not true.

>> Well it is a new day, get over it and like I said before...the door is open....don't let it etc, etc.

Ok. Thanks for all your very good advice...

His expression on his face rarely changes.+++

Mam he is former intellegence operative like those in CIA. The former spy. What you thought he was?
Of cause he never give away his thoughts my face mimics.

Aristeides brings up a good poing in #305. Worth the read.

[aristeides]

Strong cyphers aren't enough if the communications clerks are careless in their observation of communications security. The NKVD in the U.S. in WW II used theoretically unbreakable one-time pads, but the communications were decyphered over time because of the clerks' carelessness.

Moscow also provided Saddam with lists of assassins available for "hits" in the West and details of arms deals to neighbouring countries. The two countries also signed agreements to share intelligence, help each other to "obtain" visas for agents to go to other countries and to exchange information on the activities of Osama bin Laden, the al-Qa'eda leader. The documents detailing the extent of the links between Russia and Saddam were obtained from the heavily bombed headquarters of the Iraqi intelligence service in Baghdad yesterday.")

"And I was very curious too. I like to learn."

Well, this statement sounds promising, but your other posts don't reflect that. You need to have an open mind, to learn. I can understand you generally defending Russia to some extent, but I think your defence of their actions is more than what reasonable people would do in general.

I haven't figured out whether you have a chip on your shoulder or are deliberately misunderstanding things to spread propaganda. You do remind me of the Iraqi propaganda minister.

I looked it up....and you're right!

They don't allow children in Turkey?

"There was something there about Putin that I couldn't put my finger on but I couldn't bring myself to trust him. "

For me, it wasn't just Putin, but the whole "let's hold hands and be friends" deal. Something about it just didn't feel right. Never did. I don't believe leopards ever change their spots.

[RusIvan]

The other week Putin stopped some United States reps who go on their bases to verify their disarmament of nukes from entering the Russian bases. +++

No no mom it was different thing.
Those congressmen wanted to visit secret location to check how russian ACTIVE nukes are stored. It wasn't no treaty about such a visit. Why Russia had to allow that?
You tell me.
