Weapons of Mass Embarrassment? The Texas legislature is confiscating sanity napkins from the public watching the latest attempt to impose ‘Sharia law’ on the women of Texas. Apparently they can carry guns if they have a concealed weapons permit, but not Kotex.
I think that pretty much separates the ‘Lege’ from anything in the same galaxy as reality.
The government is still trying to frame the narrative about Edward Snowden, but the Washington Post article that Marcy Wheeler read accidentally confirms the New York Times conclusion that Snowden wasn’t a systems administrator, but a hacker.
The article talks about concerns that Snowden will reveal sources and methods involved in hacking into Chinese systems. Snowden wasn’t the one who told people that we were hacking, that was General Alexander bragging about US Cyber Command, and MI6 bragging about substituting a cupcake recipe for an explosives recipe in the Aspire magazine site. Snowden has stayed with hoovering up the data of innocent people, not going after legitimate targets.
A systems administrator would see the data from hacking on the system, but that wouldn’t indicate the source of the data, or how it was obtained, only who ‘owned’ it on the system.
