A...Thanks DW, liars, frauds, cheats and criminals:<br /><br />A Sunday Times article stating that British spies had been “betrayed” to Russian and Chinese intelligence services as a result of Edward Snowden’s mass-surveillance revelations to the press is “utter nonsense,” claims the whistleblower’s lawyer.<br /><br />http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/snowdens-lawyer-slams-times-story-claiming-leaks-betrayed-british-spies/article24986059/<br /><br />In an article he published on The Intercept, a news website he co-founded, Mr. Greenwald called the piece “journalism at its worst” again pointing that all sources referred to were anonymous. Mr. Greenwald also pointed that even in the Times article, Downing Street says that there was “no evidence of anyone being harmed” by Mr. Snowden’s revelations. He called the article a “self-negating joke.”<br /><br />The Times also made several factual mistakes, according to Mr. Greenwald. For instance, the claim that Mr. Snowden had downloaded 1.7 million documents, as stated by the Times, has been refuted by former NSA chief Keith Alexander. Claims by the Times that Mr. Greenwald’s own partner visited Mr. Snowden in Moscow in 2013 is also incorrect, according to Mr. Greenwald, who said his partner was instead visiting Citizenfour director Laura Poitras in Berlin. Mr. Greenwald also dismissed claims that Mr. Snowden either travelled with or had access to files from Moscow as unfounded speculation.<br /><br />https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2015/06/14/sunday-times-report-snowden-files-journalism-worst-also-filled-falsehoods/<br />dorothy parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00816807935021738560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-17977814827755252972015-06-17T09:25:22.256+10:002015-06-17T09:25:22.256+10:00Hi Dorothy,

Why, the editorials at The Age these last days simply set the scene for more rank hypocrisy. Look for the cheery, fun-filled snaps & grabs that tell us mugs that it's all a sham, anyway. <br />Never mind, Mal (<a href="http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/malcolm-turnbull-breaks-ranks-on-citizenship-declaring-constitution-cannot-be-compromised-20150616-ghpkl0.html" rel="nofollow">He Who Breaks Ranks</a>) Turnbull will be a walking glitter-bomb, on his best & brightest behaviour and posing for selfies with all from Abbott up. <br />I don't think Bret Walker will be there, even if he has a ticket.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08158673564017581517noreply@blogger.com
