Edward Snowden and Pet Talk... well Pal Talk

[lizbud]

Wow, I see what you mean. Makes you look twice doesn't it?

It might do the NSA folks good to browse this site and check out all the sweet animals! (The cats are the true subversives...)

[phesina]

Uh-oh.. My e-mail accounts are on AOL. I guess those guys must be watching me closely. Boy, are my cats ever going to mystify them!

[RICHARD]

Wow,

Hi Leon, Mr Prez and the new guy, you know, the head of the spy factory.

[smokey the elder]

Hi, No Such Agency peeps! I get a mental picture of the two characters in Independence Day as the alien looks at them afte they've uploaded the virus to the mother ship.

I read a little Bio on this guy Snowden and noticed his meteoric rise in "Government Work". Seems awful fishy to me. He was hired as a
security guard, then moved up to IT dept & worked for the CIA. Quite a quick success for a high school dropout isn't it? Hummm

Not surprising at all, especially given his skill set and training.

Alphabet soup agencies dealing with datamining and hacking routinely go outside the normal loop for hiring. t's not abnormal for someone to be hired into a placeholder position such as a custodian and then moved into what they were really hired to do when their security clearances come through.

One of my friends growing up was a junior high dropout, hired by DEC as a security consultant at 14 years old.
