Your response is such a rambling mess I don't even know where to start. I do not blame you for WWII, if you re-read my comment, I am saying the NSA was created as a result of WWII and their original mission was to spy on Germany. The fact they continue to do so is not surprising nor do I have a problem with it. You talked about consequences, well you got them from your previous generation.
I did hear about the gold and it is considerably off-topic. And, I will be going to Germany in the next few months regardless of your thoughts on Americans.
I understand his reasons for releasing information about domestic spying, but what good reason does he have for releasing information about spying on the international scene?
Remember WWII and the holocaust? Everything has a consequence yea? Like the NSA was a DIRECT consequence of breaking your codes to spy on Germany.
Your country has been pretty evil in the grand scheme of history, but we still allow Germans to come to the U.S. and have been pretty nice to your country considering what you did.
An interesting fact about firing squads is one person has a blank.
"One of the sharpshooters is secretly armed with a blank round, which means that each shooter can rest comfortably in the knowledge that there is a 20% chance that she never shot the prisoner." Firing Squad History
Allies today, enemies tomorrow? Things change quickly. We were fighting Germany & Japan 60 years ago.
Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan are all supposed allies, we have treaties and security counsels with them, but are they really our friends? This was 3 years ago.
Settlements are not admissions of guilt in the court of law, but certainly implies it. So the company added tracking software for this purpose: "The software was included on laptops and desktops so Aaron’s and its franchisees could recover unreturned computer equipment.". Granted it collected too much info.
It is idiotic to make statements without backing them up with citations. I provided a link, which is based off a wikileaks cable release. Here's another article for you.
"Mr. Marion, who was appointed to head the French secret service in 1981 by President François Mitterrand, acknowledged that France spied on American companies, including IBM, Texas Instruments and Corning, that were involved in competition with French state-owned enterprises. "
The study assumes people did not have long distance links. Alternatively, they had long distance links, but did not travel when they were infected with the bubonic plague.
Meh, this is a targeted attack on a "high-profile public figure". Google or his garbage would probably turn up the same result. Granted, it sounds like their approach was the easiest.
To be fair, he is both a criminal and a whistle blower. He broke into his superior's computer and downloaded classified documents he did not have access to. The fact he gave it to a newspaper instead of Russia or China is his saving grace.
In my view, Mark Felt is a better example of a true whistle blower. He had legitimate access to the materials he leaked and knew first hand of the damage the administration was causing.

In 2010 we caught some Russians and deported them.
They can & do try. It's not exactly a secret that Russia has physical spies in the U.S. or China has been cyber-attacking the U.S. or 'friendly' nations like France doing corporate espionage.
What double standard? The NSA is part of the military. You do not use the military on your own citizens.
Don't get me wrong, I adamantly oppose the NSA spying on American citizens. However, this article is focused on world leaders of other countries.
Guess what, the U.S. has spy agencies and their job is to spy. It just confirms they're doing an effective job, which is rare in government.
They activated webcams? I didn't see that in the article, and WOW is that crossing a line. I take back my original comment.

But do the speakers go to 11?
Or they could just be setting up a trap. "Come on into remote location, I promise we're just napping".
How hard would it be to write a program to find vulnerable boxes and force a patch via the exploit?

This article articulates many points on France's recent espionage history.
Friendly? France is well known for its industrial espionage.
You mean like horses?
The study assumes people did not have long distance links. Alternatively, they had long distance links, but did not travel when they were infected with the bubonic plague.
My thoughts exactly. This Alzheimer breakthrough I read about yesterday.
Meh, this is a targeted attack on a "high-profile public figure". Google or his garbage would probably turn up the same result. Granted, it sounds like their approach was the easiest.
So based on the article, the lesson learned is do not give your tech-novice wife a computer with your passwords on it.
