I honestly don't know what happened and I don't see how anyone can say they know for sure. A lot of conflicting testimony and of the only two people who know for sure what happened one is dead. I can see why the police chose not to arrest him to start with, there was no way they could convict with the evidence they had. The prosecutor pulled out all the stops since a conviction would have given them a sure career boost but they never really had the goods to get him given the fact he had top notch legal talent to defend him. Prosecutors are used to easy cases against overworked and less experienced public defenders.
For helping the US spy on international calls between the "US and Asia?" Maybe it's illegal but I wouldn't think that was treasonous. Probably not even illegal given that their government said it was okay.
The article states "between Asia and America" so how would this bother Australians worse? Australia isn't Asia or America so Australian citizens aren't involved unless they are on vacation.
If you're doing something that sensitive it'd be best if you used a non networked computer and transfer files to and from it via sneakernet. Then all you have to figure out is what to do when they bust the door down.
For someone that just wants to have a job for something to do 60 hours sucks. He had his career and at 62 he retired to enjoy life some. He just wanted a job for something to do occasionally and maybe make a little money on the side as well. It was never his intention to end up working the rest of his life away. My real point is that if you are a good worker management will take advantage of that to work you as much as possible, especially if they can do it as part time.
I'm not sure why government is still in the marriage business at all. Considering how people marry, divorce, marry, divorce, etc. it has become a joke. Why not just do away with the silly paper and all that. If you want to buy a house together then do it. When you're sick of each other sell it and split the money. Why go through all the rigamarole anyway? If you want to go and walk the aisle with someone do it. Get a preacher or get your next door neighbor or get an Elvis impersonator to do the service of your choice. I got married 33 years ago to a woman I love dearly. I don't stay with her because of a scrap of paper with a government seal on it.
I remember reading about Teddy Roosevelt getting shot while giving a speech and getting back on the podium and finishing it. I can't see that happening today.
The feds are pretty much incompetent at almost everything. The only thing that works is Department of Defense who's primary purpose is to blow things apart. Even they can't seem to buy new hardware without 3000% cost over runs although I think that's actually more of a corruption thing. All we need now is to completely federalize health care which should do wonders for ending the danger of overpopulation.
My brother retired from a supermarket where he was the meat market manager. About 6 months later he found himself sitting on the couch gaining weight and decided to get a job to have something to do. He got a part time job at another store and worked there about a year before quitting. The reason? His part time job went from 30 hours a week to 60. They were working him to death and he couldn't get them to let him take time off. He had to quit to go fishing.
I doubt it'll be useful soon but down the road who knows. It was a few decades between the wright brothers and the age of the Airliner. Time and technology march on.
It seems people of my mentality might tend to survive whereas people of your mentality are going to go down with a stiff upper lip. Congratulations on your foolish pride.
Hah! You're killing me. You'd let everything you care about perish rather than eavesdrop on people? If you had been president during the civil war there would be a large country between the US and Mexico today. Eavesdropping on people is one of the least of the compromises President Lincoln made.
Losing a war equals losing your freedom. To fail to do what is necessary to win means that while you maintain your purity everything you were fighting for is lost. It's a conundrum but really survival is primary. After survival you can turn to other matters. In this modern day case I don't think things are as dire as they were when Bobby Lee was roaming at will up and down the Shenandoah Valley. Back then the people in DC could hear the canon and see the bloody bodies being brought in to hospitals. Under those circumstances I think maybe desire to survive would naturally overcome a reluctance to violate privacy.
Here we go again with the over reactions. I love how someone eavesdropping on people is equated with totalitarian rule. Get a sense of proportion will you. Wrong it may be but it's not quite to the point where they're rounding up people for the gas chambers. Leave off with the overblown hysteria please.
You can't be serious. Ban all trade? How naive can you get. Sure it's not nice to find out someone is eavesdropping on you but in retaliation you want to cause a global trade war? I don't think you fully comprehend the consequences of what you suggest. It'd make the 30's look like a boom era.
All the major players spy on each other. Even their allies. I think it's expected to happen and only when it becomes public do the players pretend to be outraged.

Just keep smoking that stuff dude. Enjoy.
I like to be helpful.

I've heard GWB described as many things but never power hungry. He had enough faults as it was, no need to add more.

I think you've confused Nixon with Lincoln.
Kind of like when you found out there wasn't really a Santa Claus?

I've noticed that my eyesight has improved tremendously.
I encrypted my Granma's secret cookie recipe. Let 'em figure that one out.
They care about what's happening on Big Brother though. Gotta keep the important things in mind!
The problem is that the EU isn't as good at it.
