U.S. Seemingly Unaware of Irony in Accusing Snowden of Spying
Discussed and declared dead yesterday:
Seriously? Are we so hungry for opinions on this case that we rabidly up-vote clumsily written satirical blurbs (twice)?
Andy Borowitz is a well-known satirist.
Satire is really really hard to do well. The Onion's been a roll, however: http://www.theonion.com/articles/obama-administration-releas...
If you get caught by your hand while stealing - claim it's not your hand.
Now the New Yorker is posting articles like The Onion. The world really is upside down at the moment.
This is doublespeak.
Could we please stop with the NSA horseshit. The Democratic National Party has identified techies as a target demographic for their Media Circus and is seeding these stories to garner votes and attention.
We need to be concerned about the bigger picture, the story being covered up by the "OMG Snowden is a cyberpunk, how dreamy". The bigger picture is that Washington, D.C. has allowed the security apparatus to rot. Misplaced nuclear missiles, abysmal physical security at nuclear bomb plants, total lack of mandatory access controls on computer system, inability to close the decision loop on protecting assets on foreign soil, etc.
The DNP keeps running these tech celebrity scandal stories to distract from the catastrophic state of American security.
