Question: Dirty Tricks Against Phi Beta Iota?

Recipient Redacted,

I asked our OSINT department to download an item from the Public Intelligence Blog. They told me that they cannnot enter the blog and get a popup screen from Microsoft: This website has been reported to Microsoft for containing threats to your computer that might reveal personal or financial information.

Did you get complaints from others? Are you subjected to dirty tricks as a result of your critique on US intel service?

Sender Redacted

Phi Beta Iota: We doubt that there is any threat from this site, which is a standard WordPress blog.  We have tried to replicate the warning via both Yahoo and Google and cannot find any warning at all.   Our first guess is excessive caution on the part of the searching organization; our second is a mirror site unique to The Netherlands seeking to use our content to go phishing; and our last is malicious action by silly little people with no ethics.
Update: Comments posted to the site contained malicious URLs, triggering security measures by search engines crawling malicious pages. As a result, comments have been disabled indefinitely.

The Scope of Foreign Broadcast Information Service and BBC Open-Source Media Coverage, 1979–2008

For nearly 70 years, the Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS) monitored the world’s airwaves and other news outlets, transcribing and translating selected content into English and in the process creating a multi-million-page historical archive of the global news media. Yet, FBIS material has not been widely utilized in the academic content analysis community, perhaps because relatively little is known about the scope of the content that is digitally available to researchers in this field. This article, researched and written by a specialist in the field, contains a brief overview of the service—reestablished as the Open Source Center in 2004—and a statistical examination of the unclassified FBIS material produced from July 1993 through July2004—a period during which FBIS produced and distributed CDs of its selected material. Examined are language preferences, distribution of monitored sources, and topical and geographic emphases. The author examines the output of a similar service provided by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), known as the Summary of World Broadcasts (SWB). Its digital files permit the tracing of coverage trends from January1979 through December 2008 and invite comparison with FBIS efforts.

Journal: Federal Judge–NSA Wiretaps Were Illegal

WASHINGTON — A federal judge ruled Wednesday that the National Security Agency’s program of surveillance without warrants was illegal, rejecting the Obama administration’s effort to keep shrouded in secrecy one of the most disputed counterterrorism policies of former President George W. Bush.

. . . . . .

The ruling by Judge Walker, the chief judge of the Federal District Court in San Francisco, rejected the Justice Department’s claim — first asserted by the Bush administration and continued under President Obama — that the charity’s lawsuit should be dismissed without a ruling on the merits because allowing it to go forward could reveal state secrets.

The judge characterized that expansive use of the so-called state-secrets privilege as amounting to “unfettered executive-branch discretion” that had “obvious potential for governmental abuse and overreaching.”

Phi Beta Iota: The US Intelligence Community is totally out of control and stupid as well.  Keith Alexander,[1]  like Mike Hayden [2] before him, is an administrative piss-ant with zero ethics–he means well, but he simply does not have the strategic brain-power to be honorable in the sense that every US citizen has a right to expect.   Across the board, US intelligence is being administered rather than led, and the time has come for the President–if he wishes to retain a semblance of credibility with the US public as well as the international community–to bring in a wrecking crew.  Not likely, but eminently necessary.

[1]  On very ignorant legal advice, while administering the Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM), Alexander destroyed ABLE DANGER and destroyed the early warning on two of the hijackers that ABLE DANGER produced, rather than hand over the information to the FBI as he was supposed to.

[2]  While administering NSA, Mike Hayden was the first to violate the Constitution and the  law with warrantless wiretapping, and then went on to pioneer rendition and torture at CIA.  He is the  epitomy of well-intentioned generals who sacrifice their ethics and their integrity in favor of loyalty to a political chain of command that is abjectly corrupt irrespective of which of the two-party tyranny wings holds  the White House.

AGM Countdown: In the run up to Amnesty International’s Annual General Meeting in New Orleans this weekend, the Science for Human Rights program will be posting a new blog entry every day this week. All of the projects presented this week—and many more—will be at display in New Orleans.

In its most extensive study of secret detention practices to date, the UN released a 222-page report on the practice of secret detention in dozens of countries. The report was to be presented to the Human Rights Council in March but the Council has agreed to postpone the discussion until June. The detailed study conducted by four independent UN human rights experts accuses the Bush administration of utilizing practices in severe violation of international law.

Distance & Rules of Engagement: US Military Video (Iraq) Made Public

WikiLeaks has released a classified US military video depicting the indiscriminate slaying of over a dozen people in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad — including two Reuters news staff.

Reuters has been trying to obtain the video through the Freedom of Information Act, without success since the time of the attack. The video, shot from an Apache helicopter gun-site, clearly shows the unprovoked slaying of a wounded Reuters employee and his rescuers. Two young children involved in the rescue were also seriously wounded.
