Op-Ed In Chinese Communist Party Newspaper Blasts Washington Over Snowden, Hacking

The official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party railed against the U.S. government's accusation that the Chinese government compelled Hong Kong to let National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden flee to Russia in a front-page commentary published Tuesday, according to the Guardian.

"Not only did the US authorities not give us an explanation and apology, it instead expressed dissatisfaction at the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for handling things in accordance with law," said the overseas edition of China's People's Daily, as quoted by the Guardian.

The commentary also expressed concern over Snowden's allegations that the U.S. had hacked computer networks in China.

"In a sense, the United States has gone from a 'model of human rights' to 'an eavesdropper on personal privacy', the 'manipulator' of the centralized power over the international Internet, and the mad 'invader' of other countries' networks," the piece read.

1. Hacks on Hacking

Hackery.

[SwampG8r]

2. mmmmmm more spam

[ProSense]

3. Bon appetit, and thanks for kicking the thread.

[SwampG8r]

4. no problem

my dad always said if someone is intent on making themselves look like a fool just enjoy the show
and I have been enjoying the show you have been putting on quite a lot

[ProSense]

5. Did your

"my dad always said if someone is intent on making themselves look like a fool just enjoy the show
and I have been enjoying the show you have been putting on quite a lot"

..."dad" tell you anything about irony?

[ProSense]

10. "he taught me to tell condescending asswads to go and fuck themselves "

"eta: I already know this will be alerted on that's just the way of DU nowadays
but to the jury I point out I am saying what my dad taught me and in no way do these lessons relate to any specific person other than myself the poster I replied to seemed to find humor in my fathers and his teachings so I listed others to help her smile during her spam posting day"

[SwampG8r]

14. see your smiling already

he taught me that people who have to have the last word are dangerous mentally damaged people
edit for jurys context
now we are relating the teachings we feel are funniest

[ProSense]

17. "he taught me that people who have to have the last word are dangerous mentally damaged people "

[treestar]

16. What does it matter who posted it?

Are you one of the posters telling us that we should not attack a messenger? Like hero Eddie?

[SwampG8r]

18. is he a hero?

I don't know
see if you can find me calling him hero
attacking messengers is always bad form

[SwampG8r]

21. i see what happened

she and I are talking about my father and she was laughing at him and the things he taught me
you need to go to the post I was replying to and get context
I dont understand why you would rush to the defense of someone belittling someones father and what slender wisdoms he might impart
but please continue

[treestar]

23. Your post #2 is where it starts

[SwampG8r]

26. oh then i apologize

I tell no one to post anything or not post anything
if I did I would be one of the authoritarians everyone is so pantybunched about
but spam is spam and the acknowledgement on my part of spamminess is not anything but an acknowledgement of spam
and again is snowden a hero ? please reference me saying that because in general I am out of this discussion of hero or villain because I am more interested in what exactly the government is doing and its constitutionality
not its legality its constitutionality
all kinds of horrifying things have been done through history and the one thing they have in common is they were legal for the people who did them
legal dont equal right
that's in the list of things my dad taught me that was being belittled btw

[HappyMe]

29. I'm kind of enjoying your show.

[tammywammy]

27. If you don't like the OP, put her on ignore.

Replying to her like you did, is part of what is making DU suck.

And it makes you look like an immature juvenile asshole.

[SwampG8r]

28. well bless your heart

6. The Chinese are by far the greatest hacking violators on this planet.

They would break in and steal anything and everything from anyone anyhere without the slighest thought for human rights, property rights, privacy, etc.

[ProSense]

11. Good point. n/t

[whatchamacallit]

7. So you posted this because you agree with the Op-Ed?

Or to mock the Chinese?

[ProSense]

8. I posted it

"So you posted this because you agree with the Op-Ed? Or to mock the Chinese?"

...to get you to ask me that question. Do you agree with the op-ed?

[madokie]

12. I hear crickets

Lots of barking though when its pointed out that the way that these asswipes (snowden, greenwald) went about this is pointed out as not being the proper proceedure
I for one appreciate you and what you've been doing. I say keep up the good work.

I suspect my Mypost will light up here in a tad with those who are offended because they don't like the message calling me all kinds of names. I realize that is the way it seems to be around here anymore

[ProSense]

15. Thank you. n/t

[whatchamacallit]

19. You expected me to respond to her ridiculous non answer?

[ProSense]

24. Well, you expected me to respond to a "ridiculous" question. n/t

[whatchamacallit]

25. No

You posted an Op-Ed that didn't reflect your position, verbatim without comment. Your intent, while predictable, was not clear.

[madokie]

30. I don't expect you do do anything

You've already shown me where you come from

[SwampG8r]

22. proper procedure?

is there a policy book on this kind of thing?

[madokie]

31. You are the all knowing one you tell me

[JackRiddler]

20. No, she posted it because she agrees with John Yoo.

And National Review...

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/350676/prosecute-snowden-john-yoo

[ProSense]

32. And you posted that because you agree with Storm Front.

The silliness never ends.

[JackRiddler]

34. Your McCarthyite tactics don't work.

But making fun of them is allowed.

[ProSense]

35. "Your McCarthyite tactics don't work."

"No, she posted it because she agrees with John Yoo."

[JackRiddler]

36. That's right, don't work.

You're trying to shut up discussion about NUPEAP (the NSA Up Everyone's Ass Program) by posting many, many threads insinuating Snowden's a spy and Greenwald's his accomplice. Then pretend there's no affinity among defenders of authoritarianism when Yoo lines up with You.

[madokie]

33. Prove that she agrees with john yoo

otherwise its the same as the hot air out of that other orifice of yours

[JackRiddler]

37. Ask the NSA...

They have everyone's e-mails, including hers, yours and mine. So they can prove anything they please, and put us all in a hole under the indefinite detention act.

[madokie]

38. You're serious ain't you

Man o man, talk about bullshit, this is a load of it.
I'm sorry I rattled your cage. won't do it again.

[treestar]

13. Talk about chutzpah

They sound like they get their talking points right from here.

Personal privacy?

Invader of their networks?
