Former CIA chief: Snowden should be “hanged by the neck until dead”

[bryant.coleman]

Now the NSA has planted backdoors for Samsung electronics and hard drive companies.

Good joke. There is no chance of something like that happening with Samsung systems. However, it is quite possible with Apple devices as they are CIA stooges.

Says they 'targeted them'. Doesn't say anything about they did it or allowed it.

I guess they have firmware sources and they used it on specific cases.
Is Snowden going to back up this one with some proofs?

Any better sources? Can't say I trust that website. I usually check the Guardian for latest info, but there's nothing on there about it.

Inside TAO: Documents Reveal Top NSA Hacking Unit
"The NSA's TAO hacking unit is considered to be the intelligence agency's top secret weapon. It maintains its own covert network, infiltrates computers around the world and even intercepts shipping deliveries to plant back doors in electronics ordered by those it is targeting."

So who thinks he'd still live a long life if he was pardoned and returned to the US?

Other sources say no, but I beleive it has to do something with firmware, where they ask the compnaies if they can implement tracking or spyware on the phones firmware.

“In a world where I would not be restricted from killing an American, I personally would go and kill him myself,” a current NSA analyst told BuzzFeed. “A lot of people share this sentiment.”

“I would love to put a bullet in his head,” one Pentagon official, a former special forces officer, said bluntly. “I do not take pleasure in taking another human beings life, having to do it in uniform, but he is single-handedly the greatest traitor in American history.”…

“His name is cursed every day over here,” a defense contractor told BuzzFeed, speaking from an overseas intelligence collections base. “Most everyone I talk to says he needs to be tried and hung, forget the trial and just hang him.”…

“I think if we had the chance, we would end it very quickly,” [an Army intelligence officer] said. “Just casually walking on the streets of Moscow, coming back from buying his groceries. Going back to his flat and he is casually poked by a passerby. He thinks nothing of it at the time starts to feel a little woozy and thinks it’s a parasite from the local water. He goes home very innocently and next thing you know he dies in the shower.”

Interesting times indeed.
That's why I recently signed up for a new privacy service hosted out of Iceland. Not only is their code and philosophy 100% open source, they even accept bitcoins and litecoins.
Now all my phone calls and chats are encrypted.

Sounds like an interesting service, care to share who provides it?

I emailed them and asked if we could get a special discount for the bitcoin community.
We'll see how they respond.

the spies are angry they got spied upon and humiliated. Their anger is very funny. However, if one random guy can do that thing, so can the chinese. Perhaps the same NSA secrets have been in the hands of foreign governments all along?

Cool, thanks for sharing. I've been using jitsi which seems to provide a lot of the same functionality, for free.

It's very unlikely they will ever pardon him, even if he agrees to an amnesty. I hope he doesn't cave in and can live a happy life in some country somewhere. I consider him a hero. I don't see what he's done wrong other than expose crimes committed by the US & UK government

Hear hear.

Governments are so hypocritical, how the hell can they pull some of this shit and not expect somebody to blab. Having said this they did a good job until Snowden did a runner.

I wonder what other stuff there is to hear of.

[U1TRA_L0RD]

Our government is doing some stupid shit right now, and this society is going to be like north koreas.
