traitors and the ones who help them who also hate the USA

Over the past week there have been and continue to be, numerous articles about the files stolen by American traitor scum Snowden. Who btw has been given a freedom of speech award. Fancy that.  He needs an acid bath but unfortunately is hiding away in Russia at the moment.

Anyway, this is just one of a few things I am posting on the subject, which has been bothering me for awhile.

MI5 concerns over The Guardian sending top secret files… by Fedex: Newspaper used public courier firm to post data out of the country

· The newspaper saved files from leaker Edward Snowden to a USB stick

· It then sent the files to the USA via the FedEx delivery service

· The move has been described as creating a security risk

· Intelligence experts have accused The Guardian of ‘playing parlour games’ with national security

The Guardian newspaper sent top-secret files containing classified information to the United States by household courier FedEx, it was revealed last night.

The security risk is the latest to engulf the newspaper after the head of MI5 warned last week that publication of confidential data leaked by US fugitive Edward Snowden had caused huge ‘harm’ to the capability of Britain’s intelligence services.

Last night, senior security figures lambasted the newspaper for using Federal Express to carry the encrypted files.

Former anti-terror law watchdog Alex Carlile QC said the decision may have put the lives of British spies in danger.

‘I think it is astonishing that top-secret material has been placed in a public parcel delivery system,’ he said.
Security chiefs are also understood to be ‘very concerned’ at the use of a courier company. One source said: ‘Any leak like this is extremely concerning and part of that concern is the handling arrangements.’

The data – from GCHQ, the Government’s secret communications headquarters – was copied from the original Snowden cache on to a USB memory stick and sent by FedEx to a ‘disguised’ US intermediary in June this year. Measures were taken to ensure its safe passage.

He was told that if The Guardian was ‘muzzled’ he was to make sure the material was published on ProPublica, a not-for-profit New York website which publishes investigative journalism.

Weeks later, GCHQ officials visited the newspaper’s London offices to destroy computers and hard drives in the belief they had closed the security breach.
According to a report last week in The New Yorker, Mr Rusbridger sent a ‘Federal Express package containing a thumbnail drive of selected Snowden documents to an intermediary in the US’.

Rusbridger hinted that the Government might be too late to prevent publication of further material.

Lord Carlile accused The Guardian of playing ‘a parlour game’ with national security.
His comments are at odds with other leading Lib Dems, including Business Secretary Vince Cable, who have supported The Guardian.

He said: ‘I am very surprised The Guardian has not paid enough attention to comments by Andrew Parker [MI5 director general] and others about the damage these disclosures have done or can still do to national security.

‘There are individuals whose safety might be affected by these disclosures. We are talking about MI5, MI6 and the national security agents of other countries.

‘I think it is astonishing that a large amount of top-secret material has been placed in a public parcel delivery system.

A GREAT DEAL MORE TO SEE HERE

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
