Hillary Brags About Hacking Al Qaeda
2012-05-24
Why can't our officials keep their mouths shut?
In a rare public admission of the covert cyber war against extremists, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says cyber experts based at the State Department hacked Yemeni tribal websites, replacing Al Qaeda propaganda that bragged about killing Americans.

#10   Rare Public admission?
Why can't our officials keep their mouths shut?
It's all about the glorious pat on the back, see what I did, or more like see how good it is on my watch
Even at the detriment of so many and putting good peoples lives in more danger
I have no respect for this WH group of clowns
We can't afford any more "rare admissions" for cripes sake

#8  This is NOT good, and represents yet another instance of the White House and administration leaking our Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTP). I can nearly hear General Kieth Alexander screaming from front porch.

#7  And by 'cyber experts', we mean random teenagers wearing black t-shirts, and eating Doritos in Mom's basement.

She wishes. Those guys work for the NSA. And punch your lights out if you call them "cyber" anything.

#6  I must've dreamed it - I can't find any confirmation

The famous fog of news, Bobby -- first reports are often mistaken in the details. Glenmore's article says:

"Within 48 hours, our team plastered the same sites with altered versions of the ads that showed the toll Al Qaeda attacks have taken on the Yemeni people," Clinton said Wednesday.
In response, "Extremists are publicly venting their frustration and asking supporters not to believe everything they read on the Internet," she said.

Probably fake but accurate.

#2  The radio said this morning that they didn't hack, they bought ads. Paid for advertisements.

So maybe the only thing Hilly gave away is that we have too much money.
