Snowdon is a dummy

@BillRM,

People with diplomatic immunity can be expelled, though. They can also be ripped of their immunity in some (rare) cases.

Getting a petulant thrum going are you?

It's the hallmark of a misogynist that he doesn't fear women. They scare me witless. I presume you have never met one. Pretty birds perched in a cage to take out now and again when convenient don't count.

Waste no more time on me.

Women are regular folks. No need to fear them any more than men.

Forgetting for a second that it probably does not take much to make you “witless”…

…it is now apparent that you simply are so out of control it makes no sense to attempt engagement in conversation, Spendius…even the light stuff.

You sound more and more like that Romeo guy…posting with the pomposity and phony arrogance of a teenager rather than as an adult.

Several people have suggested I simply no long reply to you….citing the fact that a reply to you is a waste of time.

I have finally come to the conclusion that they are correct…and I am suspending replies to you until you show some signs of growing up. I will take your advice not to waste any more time on you.

I am sure you will paint this as a further sign of my being not worthy of respect…and the only thing I can say about that is that you show show little respect for yourself with those silly, pretentious posts of yours that a lack of respect for me is no big thing.

You oughta work on that lack of respect for yourself, Spendius.

Incredible!

But then there's this incredible claim: President Obama insists he had no idea about it when he spoke to Merkel[...]

This headline says all: NSA's 'Stasi methods' - what did Obama know?

Quote:

Barack Obama has come under intense pressure following the scandal over the bugging of Angela Merkel's cell phone by the NSA. The intelligence agency insists the US president knew nothing, but there are contradictions.

The White House remains silent, while the National Security Agency denies German media claims that its chief, Keith Alexander, informed President Barack Obama in 2010 that it was bugging German Chancellor Angela Merkel's phone.
Alexander neither spoke with Obama about the secret operation, "nor has he ever discussed alleged operations involving Chancellor Merkel," a statement from NSA spokeswoman Vanee Vines said.
[...]
For its part, the White House has refused to add anything to its previous statements on the transatlantic bugging scandals. "The United States is not monitoring and will not monitor the communications of the chancellor," White House spokesman Jay Carney said last Wednesday (23.10.2013).

Insiders now argue that may have been a straight lie. Pete Hoekstra, former chairman of the secret services committee at the US House of Representatives, told DW that it would not surprise him if Obama knew of these operations all along. "The president makes the rules by which the secret services operate. The NSA and other US organizations cannot work

outside the boundaries that the president sets," he said.

@Frank Apisa,

It's another hallmark of the misogynist to have any respect for himself and even more so to be seeking to increase it.

The facts speak against such egocentric nonsense. There are few things more amusing than a chap standing on his dignity. Like Oliver Hardy.

Such reptiles are the butt of every serious attempt at real comedy. Monte Python traded on the idea.

Even your trousers look ridiculous. Dawkins sports some fine examples. So proud he is of his trousers that he allowed the camera crew to follow him down a corridor to knock on the door of a person who would validate his hypotheses and who was heard to call "come in" which Dawkins duly did to be greeted with effusions of gentlemanly surprise and joy and not even a nod to the camera crew one of whose shadows was seen passing across the visual aid on the wall depicting, for simple souls, the geological periods in our dear earth's historical provenance.

Which side do you dress?

Hence rostra and pulpits. Items I have noticed that are in less use than they used to be presumably because men are increasingly willing to take it into their heads that they look good at the trouser level. Perhaps they feel that if the audience is busy tittering it won't be taking any notice of the foam coming from the mouth. I never heard a word Gingrich said in the GOP debates.

The Arab magnates look pretty good I think.

You're mixing metaphors faster than Benigni does the "zabayon" (reptiles have no butt).

You did well; she's still angry at you for failing to knock her off at the fair.

She must have looked too easy. I prefer the small ones which are glued to the perch.

I wonder what Snowden is doing right now. Making a resolution to take the Constitution less seriously I should have thought.

British man charged with hacking NASA and US military computers

Jeremy Kirk, IDG News Service

A British man has been charged with hacking into U.S. government computers and stealing personal data about thousands of employees, then bragging about it on Twitter.

Lauri Love, 28, was arrested Friday at his home in Stradishall, England, according to a statement from the New Jersey District Attorney's Office. He is charged with one count of accessing a U.S. department or agency computer without authorization and one count of conspiracy

Over the past year, Love and three unnamed co-conspirators -- two living in Australia and one in Sweden -- allegedly planted malware on government computers in order to steal data, according to an indictment filed in District Court in New Jersey.

The group, which planned their attacks over IRC instant messaging, compromised agencies including NASA, the U.S. Defense Department's Missile Defense Agency, the U.S. Army's Network Enterprise Technology Command and the Environmental Protection Agency, among others.

They are alleged to have obtained personal information of more than 4,000 employees for the Missile Defense Agency and "numerous" NASA employees, according to the indictment. The group allegedly publicized their attacks on Twitter.

Government databases were attacked using SQL injection techniques, which involves probing back-end databases. The attackers also gained access to government computers by exploiting vulnerabilities in ColdFusion, Adobe Systems' Web application development platform.

In an attempt to avoid detection, the group allegedly channeled its attacks through proxy servers and used TOR, a network that provides greater privacy by routing encrypted Web traffic through servers around the world.

The indictment alleges the attacks "collectively resulted in millions of dollars in damages to the government victims."

Love could face up to five years in prison and a US$250,000 fine for the two New Jersey charges. He has also been charged in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia for related intrusions, prosecutors said.

The UK should tell the US that they won't see the UK guy until they hand over all those USians responsible for hacking into all the accounts world wide to the various affected countries.

To record the conversation of a “U.S. Person,” the intelligence agencies would need a warrant. But no such distinction applies to intercepting the calls of foreigners, on foreign soil — though those intercepts may be a violation of local law.

That means that the intercepts of other world leaders could have also involved both information about the calls and the conversations themselves.
