Edward Snowden was interviewed over several days in Hong Kong by Glenn Greenwald and Ewen MacAskill. Q: Why did you decide to become a whistleblower? A: "The NSA has built an infrastructure that allows it to intercept almost everything. With this capability, the vast majority of human communications are automatically ingested without targeting. If I wanted to see your emails or your wife's phone, all I have to do is use intercepts. I can get your emails, passwords, phone records, credit cards. "I don't want to live in a society that does these sort of things … I do not want to live in a world where everything I do and say is recorded. That is not something I am ...

Saudi Arabia’s struggles with terrorism are well known, but that hasn’t stopped the United States from signing an “Open Skies” agreement with the nation. Soon, the Saudis will have “unrestricted” access to U.S. airspace, according to the U.S. State Departmentwebsite: “The United States-Saudi Arabia Open Skies agreement will, following a transition period, permit unrestricted air service by the airlines of both countries between and beyond the other’s territory, eliminating restrictions on how often the carriers fly, the kind of aircraft they use and the prices they charge. This agreement will allow for the strengthening and expansion of our strong ...
Gay Adoption and the Creator's Sexual Design

I commend Russia for banning all foreign same-sex couples from adopting Russian children. Homosexuality is a troubling moral and social phenomenon. Due to benign interpretations of the homosexual condition itself it is increasingly being viewed as something neutral or even good. In the words of Cardinal George of Chicago, the gay liberation movement has begun to "morph into something like the Ku Klux Klan". They have thus far succeeded in inverting the West's rule of law into the law of the jungle. Men and women with homosexual tendencies must be accepted with respect, compassion and sensitivity. Nonetheless homosexual acts must be considered wrong and intrinsically ...

An al Qaeda terrorist stated in a recent online posting that U.S. Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens was killed by lethal injection after plans to kidnap him during the Sept. 11 attacks in Benghazi went bad. The veracity of the claim by Abdallah Dhu-al-Bajadin, who was identified by U.S. officials as a weapons expert for al Qaeda, could not be determined. However, U.S. officials have not dismissed the terrorist’s assertion. An FBI spokeswoman indicated that the bureau is aware of the claim but declined to comment because of the FBI’s ongoing investigation into the Benghazi attacks. “While there is a great deal of information in the media and on the Internet about ...

Designs for many of the nation’s most sensitive advanced weapons systems have been compromised by Chinese hackers, according to a report prepared for the Pentagon and to officials from government and the defense industry. Among more than two dozen major weapons systems whose designs were breached were programs critical to U.S. missile defenses and combat aircraft and ships, according to a previously undisclosed section of a confidential report prepared for Pentagon leaders by the Defense Science Board. Experts warn that the electronic intrusions gave China access to advanced technology that could accelerate the development of its weapons systems and weaken the U.S. military ...

Since the IRS scam has become the most momentous topic of the day, we now know, thanks to my father, that Obama’s brother, Malik Obama, is deeply associated with Omar al-Bashir, the one who was behind the attack on the US embassy in Khartoum, Sudan, which occurred at around the same time as the Benghazi attack. I was the first to write on this in English when the attack first happened, stating: The attacks by Muslims on American embassies in Egypt and Libya has shocked the media enough, but now North Sudan has just exploded, with mobs raiding both the British, German and American embassies. Who is responsible? According to Al-Rakoba, a Sudanese news site, it is Omar al-Bashir, the ...

Camilla Parker Bowles is really a very enterprising woman. She seems to be able to take any situation and find a way to spin it into something that can be used to push Kate Middleton’s buttons. Prince Charles may not exactly look like a leader in training but he is one for learning. Charles speaks several languages and has been working with a teacher to learn Arabic. Apparently Charles wants to be able to read the Koran from one end to another on his own, but Arabic is proving to be a bit harder than he expected. Charles and Camilla’s current controversial visit to Saudi Arabia, during a week in which the kingdom beheaded 7 men, highlighting their abysmal human rights record, also ...

(Reuters) - More than 8,000 French households' tax bills topped 100 percent of their income last year, the business newspaper Les Echos reported on Saturday, citing Finance Ministry data. The newspaper said that the exceptionally high level of taxation was due to a one-off levy last year on 2011 incomes for households with assets of more than 1.3 million euros ($1.67 million). President Francois Hollande's Socialist government imposed the tax surcharge last year, shortly after taking office, to offset the impact of a rebate scheme created by its conservative predecessor to cap an individual's overall taxation at 50 percent of income. The government has been forced to redraft ...

The daughter, a virgin, is believed to have miscarried at 14, but went on to have a baby at 16 after regularly inseminating herself with sperm bought over the internet by her "domineering" mother because she was too scared to refuse. Details of the shocking case have emerged in a previously secret court judgment, which can be reported today for the first time and which raises serious questions over loopholes in international adoptions and the regulation of the global traffic in gametes. ...

Boston bombs: Chechyna, the war-raved region that fell under the spell of jihadists

The world is today asking: "How did two young ethnic Chechens come to bring bloodshed to the streets of America?" The answer lies in the way that conflict in Russia's North Caucasus has changed over time from a nationalist struggle to an Islamist insurgency, connected to the ideology of global jihad. When Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston bomber who is still on the run, was born in 1993, his namesake, Dzhokhar Dudayev, was about to lead the Chechen rebels in one of the greatest battles on Russian soil since Stalingrad. When the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, Dudayev, a former Soviet air force general, declared Chechnya's independence, imagining that he would create a ...

China’s avian flu outbreak that has killed nine people since March is being driven by at least two closely related viruses, a situation that may make it more difficult to contain in humans and birds, researchers said. The H7N9 flu has shown signs of genetic diversity since the first three patients were diagnosed, said Richard Webby, director of a World Health Organization collaborating center for the virus at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis. It already appears more infectious than the H5N1 strain of bird flu that has been circulating since 2003, infecting 600 people and killing 60 percent of them, he said. Scientists from around the world are working together to ...

At least two soldiers serving with the US-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan have died in a helicopter crash in the east of the country, the coalition has announced. According to a statement released by ISAF on Tuesday, the cause of the helicopter crash is still under investigation. The Western military coalition forces have not released the nationalities of the troopers or the exact location of the incident, but some sources in the NATO alliance said the soldiers were Americans. An Afghan official, however, said the chopper crashed in an agricultural field in the Pachir Wagam district in Nangarhar Province on Tuesday morning.
