On Central Intelligence Agency V7-Hacking Leaks

Julian Assange's wikipedia recently published C.I.A. hacking methods and content in redacted form on-line in what was named Vault 7. The body of C.I.A. hacking documentation may be genuine or possibly fake news since it would be possible for experienced hacking consultants with some C.I.A. information to invent such material however unlikely that might be. If the expose' is true then it might be Mr. Assange's get-out-of-jail card that will allow him to emigrate from the Peruvian embassy in London where he has lived as a refugee from the law and extradition for several years.

I was initially one that regarded the wikileaks publication of the Snow and Manning files as an accomplice in espionage. The international law situation of multinational acts of espionage make the legal standing murky. Plainly the new material act as a kind of counter-intelligence operation enfilading the C.I.A.'s ineffective security on their own operations. Those that drink the kool-aid are not supposed to divulge contents of the secret sauce.

Much will be written about C.I.A. violation of foreign and perhaps domestic civil rights to communications privacy and the danger to human liberty that entails and rightly so. It also allows one to infer that Chinese, Russian, British, French and Saudi intelligence are likely to be working the same activities.

So President Trump may have been right about Bamako-era spooks hacking his campaign. Seems that anything occasionally connected to the Internet is a tool for the voyeurs of government cyberspace. Maybe Julian Assange will be granted a pardon eventually from the White House along with Mr. Snowden for providing the dangerous public service of letting the U.S. public have a look inside the secret world of government surveillance encroachment.

Lawmakers may want to take action to assure that stolen information is carefully and impartially reviewed by unemployed and retired Americans acting as part-time contractors in a blind-juried sort of way in a way comparable to jury selection.
