He let Americans evaluate omniscient domestic surveillance for themselves
This week, Edward Snowden, multiple human rights and civil rights groups, and a broad array of American citizens asked President Obama to exercise his Constitutional power to pardon Snowden. As a former CIA officer, I wholeheartedly support a full presidential pardon for this brave whistleblower.
All nations require some secrecy. But in a democracy, where the government is accountable to the people, transparency should be the default; secrecy, the exception. And this is especially true regarding the implementation of an unprecedented system of domestic bulk surveillance, a mere precursor of which Senator Frank Church warned 40 years ago could lead to the eradication of privacy and the imposition of “total tyranny.”
That today we are engaged in a meaningful debate about whether such a system is desirable is almost entirely due to the conscience, courage and conviction of one man: Edward Snowden. Without Snowden, the American people could not balance for themselves the risks, costs and benefits of omniscient domestic surveillance. Because of him, we can.
For this service, the government has charged Snowden under the World War I-era Espionage Act. Yet Snowden did not sell information secretly to any enemy of America. Instead, he shared it openly through the press with the American people.
For this service, Snowden has been accused of having “blood on his hands“—the same evidence-free cliché trotted out every time a whistleblower reveals corruption, criminality or anything else the government would prefer to hide. That this charge is being aired by the very people responsible for wars that have led to thousands of dead American servicemen and servicewomen; hundreds of thousands burned, blinded, brain-damaged, crippled, maimed and traumatized; and hundreds of thousands of innocent foreigners killed, is more than ironic. It’s also a form of psychological projection, or propaganda, intended to distract from where true responsibility for bloodshed lies.
And for this service, the usual suspects have claimed Snowden has caused “grave damage to national security.” As always, the charge is backed by nothing but air, and ignores—in fact, is intended to distract from—the real damage caused by metastasizing governmental secrecy. This includes not only disastrous government mistakes and cover-ups (see the Bay of Pigs, the “missile gap,” the Gulf of Tonkin, Iraqi wea
I cannot now rid my mind from re-imaging Alan Partridge singing out-of-tune, "Killleeerr-QUEEEEEEEN" to himself, as he crosses a Norfolk commercial traveller's hotel lobby.
It is SO "systemd". More of the binary is better bullshit.
If you need a.Net runtime for your shell, you are f*cked.
Since every object type that you'd want to build for *nix systems already exists as Perl or Ruby code, that can be accessed through C-PAN or Git, I really don't see what problem this solves. The problem of how to force a.Net runtime on every machine in existence?
I have 21-year-old acquaintances who have NEVER looked at voicemail in their entire lives. More so remarkable, because they'd individually had iPhones with a visual voicemail feature, for up to 20% of their time on earth.
You want to annoy my 16-year old? Call on the phone. I expect voice to be a nearly dead medium in a decade.
When you are almost depressed? Anything to take your mind off it.
When you are giddy? You can take on the WORLD! "That'll show 'em all!"
Somehow this observation is presented as a counter-intuitive result from examining new data. We ALL love counter-intuitive results. Comprehending them makes us feel intelligent.
I'm not rooting for Hippie Land to emerge from the wreckage. Americans will likely slaughter each other in righteous and god-ordained fury for many decades thereafter.
But they will have withdrawn from every corner and space on this planet - where today they distort, extract and oppress as a matter of "interests".
With the US being a bad thing for everybody else in the world, an most of its "own" people? I'd say that what's bad for the US is good for the sake of humaity itself, and I only brook small exaggeration here.
The removal through collapse, of the United States as an actor on the world stage would be the greatest human triumph since the collapse of the Berlin Wall or the ending of South African Apartheid.
The VAX to IBM SNA mainframe is already an ungodly mix!
How early are we talking. I saw this stuff in about 98 and we were bringing some of the first *nix in the mix. We had pod in different data centers than the legacy, but ran Stronghold Apache and ATG Dynamo in 1999.
