What's the logic in this? This is like saying Saudis must be Christians because we are Christians as well
- barbecue_sauce 8y agoThe implication here is more "we know its possible because we do it".
- verelo 8y agoNo it’s not. It’s much more like saying the Saudis probably killed the journalist because we do it too.
- novaleaf 8y agonot sure why you are so downvoted on this (maybe less drama next time) but more or less right. More specifically though, the Snowden docs showed how the usa does this kind of stuff on a one-off basis.
- cronix 8y agoand IIRC, that it was/is the "preferred" method because it's easier to pull off/harder to detect than most other methods.
- verelo 8y agoHonestly, less drama, fair enough...but sadly it's not drama, it's fact albeit in small numbers, this 100% happened as we found out from Snowden docs and other leaks! That wasn't really the point i was trying to make though, and if it's happened or not doesn't really need to hold true for the basis of my comparison to hold true as a basis of english arguments. Also, I gave up hunting karma on HN a while back, i'd rather speak my mind honestly than be artificially censored by chasing a number.
