Posted: 03/07/17 12:33 pm ::: Vault 7: CIA Hacking Tools Released by WikiLeaks |

WikiLeaks published a trove of CIA spying files today. This morning, CNN went into damage control mode, claiming "nothing to see here." Would anyone like to comment on these revelations, or are we going to dismiss this as well since Yahoo "News" is not running with the story?

They're spies. It should not be surprising that they are engaged in spying.

I suppose that's one way of downplaying this...

To anyone who pays attention to things like intelligence agencies that all looks like general information. What is supposed to be a revelation here?

They spy on Americans....not news
They spy using home electronics....not news
The makers of electronics are complicit....not news
Everyone should have already known that this was going on.

A few years ago they were the bane of our existence, and now that we find out they were spying on Americans (and political opponents) under Obama's watch it's normal right?

Such is the nature of politics. This didn't start under Obama, but you didn't think it was a problem until he was in office.

"The nature of politics" is spying on political opponents and everyday Americans, sure.
Hmmm I don't recall ever saying that it was only a problem now.
Also, this level of spying wasn't happening until he was in office.

You're just a shill for the left.
Perhaps you can educate me as to some specific examples of when this was happening at this level prior to 2009?

Just watched a fairly at-length discussion on FNC's Outnumbered about these "leaks." The focus was limited to how this can only help our enemies.
Nothing in this release is new to our enemies. I think it was in intentional dump. More shiny objects.
