Snowden Doc Shows NSA Blamed Russia For Hack of Murdered Journalist (thehill.com)
The National Security Agency (NSA) knew that the Russian government hacked the email account of a prominent journalist the year before she was killed in Moscow, documents published by The Intercept show. The 2006 murder of longtime Kremlin critic Anna Politkovskaya -- who was gunned down in the elevator of her apartment complex -- is widely believed to have been a contract killing. Politkovskaya was a noted critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and it has long been suspected that the murder was carried out on his orders. From a report: The NSA compiled an internal file on Politkovskaya, which was exposed as part of the Edward Snowden leaks. Much of the document is unclassified and public, except for one top-secret segment: "Russian Federal Intelligence Services (probably FSB) are known to have targeted the webmail account of the murdered Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya," the passage reads. "On 5 December 2005, RFIS initiated an attack against the account annapolitkovskaia@US Provider1, deploying malicious software which is not available in the public domain. It is not known whether this attack is in any way associated with the death of the journalist."
Vladimir Putin is a clone of Hitler
Calling a Russian "Hitler" is probably a pretty good way to get your ass kicked.
Irony: Agile development has too much intertia to be abandoned now.
Seems you've confused Edward Snowden with Obama. This is not information that Obama released.
It took 8 years to undo the damage caused by Bush.
This just isn't accurate. We still have the TSA, we still have prisoners held without trial at Guantanamo Bay, we still have a Patriot Act (even though it isn't called the Patriot Act any more) and carte blanche spying on US citizens, we still have massive massive debt... The damage is most certainly not undone. This is Obama's greatest failure as president - he was elected pretty much with the sole purpose of undoing what Bush had done.
He managed to reduce it in some areas - there are fewer prisoners in Guantanamo Bay, the Patriot Act is marginally less bad than it was, the Bush tax cuts are mostly not bankrupting us anymore - but one cannot simply undo eight years of terrible legislation. You're right that we will be feeling the Trump administration 100 years from now, but we will still be feeling the Obama administration, the Bush administration, etc. Every legislator makes their mark, for good or ill, and when we vote we have to do so with the recognition that the decision we make is not a reversible one.
Seriously Obama you are starting to make Trump look sane. The last thing the world needs is a new cold war, never thought I would say it but Trump can't come soon enough before you do any more damage, I can only assume you or your party has big financial interests that are not supported by friendly relations with Russia.
Where did you shills see Obama's name in any of this?
Please get your own head of your own ass before you shill on.
or roman like behavior... just being human is probably more like it.
i just read history and say meh, we have done worse.
Stupid vatnik. Done with the hair rinse yet?
What about all the land you're stealing off Georgia, as you move your borders in South Ossetia and Abkhazia? Or how you sent soldiers to steal Crimia off another nation-state? Or how you're stealing Donbass? Or your countless 'frozen' conflicts (colour-revolutions by another name)?
When was the last time the US actually annexed land? It's been centuries.
Seriously, fuck off with your apologist bullshit, troll.
So now you're claiming the evil Obama mastermind is in control of what stories from the Snowden leaks are published even though Obama's government has gone to great length to prevent the publication of ANYTHING Snowden provided to the journalists?
Yea, Obama is such an evil mastermind. :roll eyes:
Just like my inlaws that blamed Obama for the $10K cash transaction limits that were put in place 30 years ago during the Regan administration. Everything is his fault and everything will be better under Trump. You're lying to yourself and you probably don't even realize it.
