The Spy Cables: A glimpse into the world of espionage
- LinkPlug 12y agoWhere are the cables? Just a teaser?
- harkyns_castle 12y agoHehe yeah. "We're going to release some things", as far as I can tell. I'm not sure the point, lead with something interesting. * Not to say I don't think it's worthwhile. Just a bit dry atm.
- harkyns_castle 12y agoHonestly, I'll all for it. But the article had nothing of substance. After a deluge of NSA/GCHQ/ASD/Canadian/NZ links lately, this is like saying, "They're spying on us". Sure, and I despise that, but what's the point of posting this until there is something of substance posted? Whet our tastes?
- th0br0 12y agoI find it more and more concerning that newspapers who receive these kinds of leaks decide to withhold most of them or only publish them in troves over a long period. The effort required for publishing them is indubitably huge (blacking out names etc.), yet when publication is dependent on the economical impact (i.e. sales numbers of a print magazine, ad impressions, ...), the leak itself is simply being exploited.
