Some said so - not least those who watched him grow up at the Bristol Old Vic in the 1950s. Did he sometimes stray into misguidedness or grotesquerie? Did he occasionally seem 'unwell'?" Sometimes. Hier zwei Filme aus den Jahren […]
Feuilletons 25.11.2013 […] Der Wikipedia-Gründer Jimmy Wales hat sich zum wiederholten Male für Edgar Snowden ausgesprochen, berichtet der Guardian: "He aid that those who have revealed secret surveillance deserved praise: 'Countries owe a lot to whistleblowers - there's a series of whistleblowers who have been involved. Snowden is the latest. Because there was no way we could have had that conversation without them. At the […]
Feuilletons 20.11.2013 […] Simon Jenkins kann sich gute Gründe vorstellen, Vertraulichkeit zu wahren. Regierungsgeschäfte und Staatsgeheimnisse können nicht öffentlich sein. Aber: "The days are over when those demanding secrecy for their work can offer the dismissive excuses of the three intelligence chiefs to Westminster's intelligence and security committee earlier this month. This boiled down to 'Trust us, we are policemen' […]

Dickens really nailed it, especially in those proto-Ballardian passages in which everything in nature has been damaged by heavy industry. But there were relatively few voices like Dickens then. Most people thought the progress of industry was all […]

The document notes that one unnamed US official handed over 200 numbers, including those of the 35 world leaders, none of whom is named. These were immediately 'tasked' for monitoring by the NSA." Sogar John Cusack, Maggie Gyllenhaal und Oliver Stone sind empört: […]
Feuilletons 17.09.2013 […] the case that we will have privacy by having no privacy. That does not make sense. By having a total surveillance state, we can't say that our data is private when we have things like LoveInt. For those of you not familiar, this is the NSA term for surveilling your love interests. It's so frequent that they have a term for it, like SigInt. signals intelligence - love intelligence. It's sounds funny […]

And if your own security systems were up to the task, then those secrets wouldn't be sitting in the offices of the New York Times and ProPublica." Und in der Los Angeles Times zitiert Jon Healey einen wütenden und entsetzten Joseph Lorenzo Hall vom gemeinnützigen […]
Feuilletons 05.09.2013 […] Malik ist in seinem Blog gegen eine militärische Sanktionierung der Giftgasmassaker an der syrischen Zivilbevölkerung: "What has been striking in the debate so far is the lack of strategic thought from those pushing for war. What are the specific aims? What would constitute success? Is there a vision of the endgame? There are few answers to such questions." Und er fährt fort: "The kind of 'limited' intervention […]

Instead, they represent an emerging Fifth Estate composed of leakers, activists and bloggers who threaten those of us in traditional media. They are, as one says, not like us." Und weiter: "If the revelations about the N.S.A. surveillance were broken by Time, CNN or The New York Times, executives there would […]
Feuilletons 19.08.2013 […] die Maßnahme gegen Greenwalds Lebenspartner in The Daily Dish als Einschüchterung: "They held him for three hours before informing his spouse and another six hours thereafter. I can see no reason for those extra six hours (or for that matter the entire nine hours) than brute psychological intimidation of the press, by attacking their families. More to the point, although David was released, his entire […]

Feuilletons 31.07.2013 […] Gefängnisstrafe: "Manning's case is not exactly a victory for transparency and the media: The 25-year-old solider still faces decades in prison for violating the Espionage Act of 1917, charges similar to those faced by NSA leaker Edward Snowden. 'It'll be interesting to see whether they bring out this crazy 'aiding the enemy' charge against Snowden if they ever get to him," said Goodale, who represented the […]

Der FISA Court ist inzwischen eine Art geheimer Neben-Supreme-Court, der eine Reihe von Geheimgesetzen geformt hat, schreibt […] their misdeeds, but its fragile coalition government surely lacks the appetite for a new fight with the US administration). The German civil liberties movement has made great strides in recent years as those in many other countries have waned; only if it can elicit a meaningful domestic response is there any hope that the rest of the EU might take a meaningful stand, never mind reach for their once cherished […]

These are not Project Gutenberg freebies: Those works are offered on the Amazon shelves for sale. But publishers lack incentive to shift long-tail backlist titles, which tend to languish neglected in the copyright warehouse. Once in the public domain […]
