The turncoat has given away so much about how our GCHQ eavesdroppers gather intelligence on Islamist killers they have been able to change their methods.
Spy chiefs warned last year of the damage the American might do – but ministers fear it will be even worse than first thought.
A senior Whitehall source told the Sunday People: “Parts of the radar have gone dark and that is very worrying.
"Snowden has committed the worst kind of treachery.”

The blitz begins now.
If they were so skeered of terrorists, perhaps it would be better to stop building that goddam haystack of informationj culled on every freaking citizen of the world, and focus on the bad guys.

(3,891 posts)Because our Counter Terrorism inspired surveillance has prevented exactly zero terrorist attacks. I have to wonder why you were unable to prevent the terrorist attacks on London? Oh, perhaps you decided that it was better to keep the intelligence source than risk losing it, ala Coventry England and the Blitz? I know, the official story is that the Government never broke the code in time to learn that the target of the massive bombing raid they were aware was coming would hit Coventry.
Otherwise, it would appear that your mythical radar is worse than useless.

(50,130 posts)A post of mine was just locked because I posted a news story (legitimate news) from a source that is disapproved.
And while I feel this piece is full of propaganda, I let it stand on its own merits or lack thereof. We are all big enough to judge for ourselves, without censoring.

(23,018 posts)There is a long history of posting stories from The Mirror here on DU. Google is your friend. Don't try to equate it with posting bullshit from Newsbusters like you did.
Equating the Mirror with Newsbusters is idiotic and desperate.
