FBI received unauthorized e-mail access.
By on Feb 16th, 2008 at 4:50 pm
FBI received unauthorized e-mail access.
As a result of a “technical glitch,” in 2006, the FBI received access to “e-mail messages from an entire computer network — perhaps hundreds of accounts or more — instead of simply the lone e-mail address that was approved by a secret intelligence court as part of a national security investigation.” The episode is an example of a “regular if little-noticed occurrence,” but has received “no discussion” in the congressional debate over expanding the government’s wiretapping powers.

And what was done with the content of these E-mails. Were they destroyed as the law requires.
Never mind.
February 16th, 2008 at 4:58 pmWhat happens to e-mails that are accidentaly intercepted?
What happens to FISA approved communication intercepts that turn out to be NOT involved with terrorism?
And how do we know that’s what happens to them?

You racist piece of sh!t.
February 16th, 2008 at 5:30 pmmaybe we should report Hendler to the Secret Service, he seems obsessed with Obama getting assassinated while using racist remarks to make his point.
Hopefully that sick puppy doesn’t own a gun.

Face it, Himmler, you’re an ass.
February 16th, 2008 at 5:42 pmThis quote from the report is complete bullsh|t!
because communications problems made it difficult to tell initially whether the targets were in the country or not.
Bullsh|t to the core!!! I’ve written software for companies that track international phone calls all around the world realtime!!
Anyone who knows anything about telcom nets knows this is complete bullsh|t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
February 16th, 2008 at 5:52 pmI am not racist. I am merely revealing the circumstances that lead to the deaths of RFK are emerging again. Meanwhile, another article about how paternalistic policies, which failed in the US, are being promoted for sub-Saharan Africa:
http://www.city-journal.org/2008/18_1_paternalism.html
The author states it far better than I ever could - your policies kill entire cultures. If I were racist, I would be supporting your policies, so you should probably look among your compatriots for racists.

You’re a filthy pig, Hendler. Peddle your sociopathic blather elsewhere because no one here wants to hear your deranged bull.
February 16th, 2008 at 5:59 pmLet’s all flag Hendler outta here!
February 16th, 2008 at 5:59 pmDixie Blood: You got it. This doesn’t occur “by mistake” as we all know. It’s the apparatus of Big Psycho Brother - this we know.

You will find the following racist comment by our own Jackass Moron Hitler, Grand Dragon of the KKK!
“Pan-Africanism will happen, but not in the hands of black Africans.”
Jason M. Hendler, Melbourne, Florida
IDIOT RACIST PHUCK!!!!
February 16th, 2008 at 6:02 pmHow not-black or lily white will they have to be Jackass Moron Hitler????
You racist phu(k!!!
February 16th, 2008 at 6:07 pmmaybe we should report Hendler to the Secret Service, he seems obsessed with Obama getting assassinated while using racist remarks to make his point.
Excellent idea.
February 16th, 2008 at 6:13 pmI’ve written software for companies that track international phone calls all around the world realtime!!
American systems can only track 20 metres in accuracy
European satelites can track to 1 metre , almost enough to drive a car
Mobile phones can be listened in on , even when switched OFF, take the battery out
Some terrorists have been on the phone , a couple minutes later they get hit by a missile
Phones pick out keywords and auto matically start a recording process
a cell phone track your position every 20 minutes
these records are kept for two years by law
February 16th, 2008 at 6:21 pmHey folks, Jason Hendler stepped too far over the line this time. Until he is banned from TP we need to let him, and his brethren in the troll community that racism is not acceptable. Whenever and where ever he posts, remind the community of this thread and his comment. don’t respond to him drive him away.
February 16th, 2008 at 6:23 pmalso Phone cards you buy for public phones the chip or exchange keeps a record of what calls were made by the phone card
February 16th, 2008 at 6:23 pmTypical Hendler off topic crapping, and y’all are stepping in it.
We all know JasonFreddieKruger is a racist bigoted moron, but how about those FBI ‘accidental’, unintentional email intercepts?
February 16th, 2008 at 6:23 pmIn addition to flagging Hendler, email TP and tell them this behavior is wrong and should not be tolerated.

February 16th, 2008 at 6:25 pmI won’t take sides in this…but…..
1 - JFK, MLK, RFK, and Malcolm X were assassinated most likely by US and some foreign intelligence services, with the assistance and coverups by MK-Ultra/patsy types.
2 - The Clinton Clan has a body count rivaling the Bush Clan
3 - Obama probably is being hand picked by the same Globalists that would have McCain or Hillary.

Nothing ‘accidental’ there!!! Read my posts up top. This sh!t just doesn’t happen. Telcoms know where every electron flows in thier systems!! They know every connection, every switch, every central office, all of the outside plant, etc!!!!!

February 16th, 2008 at 6:32 pmah, well, i see that most of the rest of the comments were
devoted to the hintler crap…
would’ve been easier to FLAG it…
…
i wonder if that computer network is obliged to disclose this
unauthorized access…
that would take scruples…
February 16th, 2008 at 6:35 pmI don’t flag, I fight! Please do flag him/it if you like. Flag me if you like; I don’t and won’t mind.
JackAss Moron Hitler is welcome to join me in a non-racist debate, but, as always he runs away when I post his past, hate-spewing, racist crap!
He’s too stupid to debate!!
February 16th, 2008 at 6:42 pmFrom the Times article” ‘Mr. Kortan said. “We moved quickly to resolve it and stop it. The system worked exactly the way it’s designed.‒
Well, as long as the system is working there’s no worries right? And why would the FBI lie about the system?
February 16th, 2008 at 6:50 pmNo worries, just include an attachment of the US Constitution with your emails and they will never read it.

Can we just flag this vile troll and not respond to him? Every time you respond to something he says you are just giving him an ego stroke.
February 16th, 2008 at 8:16 pm#19, dixie blood,
If you refer to these maps from wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ Image:African_language_families.svg
http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ Image:Official_LanguagesMap-Africa.png
you will see that as both the Sahara and North African cultures move south, they displace the sub-Saharan cultures. China and India are also sticking their fingers into the contentious push south, which is why you have violence in Chad, Sudan, Ethopia, Somalia. At this crossroads of North African, Asian and sub-Saharan cultures, there also happens to be petroleum - oil, natural gas, etc. (CIA had a much better map, but can’t find it on google anymore.) Africa is the manifest destiny of North African muslims, Chinese and Indians. Meanwhile, sub-Saharan Africans engage in war / genocide, and suffer decimating diseases (AIDS at 20 million, expected to go to 100 million in a few generations - there are only an estimated 800 million Negroids in all of Africa).
Given all this, I project that North African muslims, Chinese and Indians will displace the indiginous peoples of sub-Saharan Africa, as these pressures will not allow sub-Saharan cultures to stablize and thrive.
This is not racist, just extrapolating on current and past events, to project the likely developments in Africa. Note that North African muslims, Chinese and Indians are not “white” (although Arabs and Indians are Caucasoid, they are different ethnicities).
February 16th, 2008 at 8:24 pmI’ve flagged every one of his comments on this thread and will continue to do so. Haven’t seen one from him since, so maybe it worked.
February 16th, 2008 at 8:27 pmGuess I spoke too soon. Just flagged his last.
February 16th, 2008 at 8:28 pmMe too.
Who’s working in the office this weekend?
Yo! Dude, or dudette, as the case may be… leave the Krispy Kremes alone fer a few and clean this up!

Back pedal, Back pedal, back pedal….
Actually, it’s your unexplained racist remarks that we must get past before I allow you to try and fog the air again with more useless racist posts.
Explain your racism!! How about the “black” Africans remark?? Assh0le!!!
I am done with you tonight. You are too stupid to tolerate given the short life we all have in front of us!!!!!!!
100 years of a heathy life will still leave you stupid!!!

Free speech is a strange and mysterious substance, and still very much a work in progress. We’re all still learning.
February 16th, 2008 at 9:51 pm#52, Lefty Patriot,
The prediction that I repeated above I made at least 2 years ago, and the article regarding African paternalism was written recently. Sadly, it appears that little has changed. China is still backing the Sudanese government through Chinese state controlled oil companies, in spite of Sudan’s slaughter of people in Darfur - it’s China’s manifest destiny to do so.
Please tell me where I am wrong.
February 16th, 2008 at 11:32 pmUh, yeah… Wayne. That sez it pretty well…

Playing or not playing “Whack-a-Troll” is a free speech thing? Wow.
Oh well, I’m getting the feeling that many of you need the ego strokes as much as the trolls do. Feels pretty good when you get that troll, doesn’t it. Sad thing is, you never really do get them.

It is very late. What do you expect? A doctoral dissertation?
February 17th, 2008 at 1:37 amWell, now that they have “illegally” obtained it what happens now? Someone needs to make them pay the price for their illegal behavior isn’t that right? How about it Mr. Attorney General, what are ya gonna do now?
February 17th, 2008 at 3:31 amOhhhhh…. they obtained it ” illegally” …. by mistake…. someone messed up…., etc., etc., etc.
All the same BUSH-it! Those people at the WH commit crimes as they please, and nothing happens.
What happened to America? It seems deadly sick!
Nixon Impeached??? Why? Just compare Nixon’s acts with Bush’s and his gang’s acts and it becomes evident, obvious that we owe Nixon an APOLOGY!!!

Easy now…….you’re getting carried away.
February 17th, 2008 at 9:20 amThe chances of the FBI obtaining these “accidentally” are the same as Hendler not making a racist comment. VERY low. take care

This is yet MORE proof that We, the People, have been and continue to be spied upon and monitored by King George Dubya and his band of merry thugs! When is ANYONE going to stand up for us and say NO MORE? Why is it when the Neocons moan and despair over the lapsing of the warrantless wiretap program that NO ONE stands up and screams about how this program began WAY before 9/11!! WHY were we being spied upon just as soon as George Dubya got his filthy, dirty hands on the White House? We, the People, certainly don’t seem to be getting anywhere by protesting, writing letters, signing petitions, etc. Yet the pundits keep saying that until the American people start making some noise, nothing will change!! We KEEP making as much noise as we can! The problem is NOBODY will listen to us! Government by the People and for the People? Yeah…right!!

Comment by suzedeque — February 17, 2008 @ 1:46 pm
The problem is the small number of people making the noise. Responding to a poll and being unhappy with a situation doesn’t qualify as making noise. Of the total population, most people complain but never contact their reps. Multiple contacts from the same few people are unlikely move reps.
February 17th, 2008 at 3:04 pmI’ve got a little more commentary here. This kind of stuff happens … and I got the feeling that someone was asking for more than they deserved as well.
Cheers,
