The Post, following requests by U.S. officials, withheld the country’s name. Two months later, the Intercept news site published a similar story about the NSA’s “secretly intercepting, recording, and archiving the audio of virtually every cell phone conversation” in two nations. The site named the Bahamas as one country. It refrained from naming the other, citing concerns that doing so “could lead to increased violence.” Several days later, the anti-secrecy organization WikiLeaks reported that the country was Afghanistan. Soon after, “the program was shut down by the government of Afghanistan,” said Clapper, speaking at the Intelligence and National Security Summit in Washington.

I therefore reproduce my article from February 2013. It is important to note that the links are to industry publications: this is very genuine, hard information.  Israel Grants Oil Rights in Syria to Murdoch and Rothschild Israel has granted oil exploration rights inside Syria, in the occupied Golan Heights, to Genie Energy. Major shareholders of Genie Energy – which also has interests in shale gas in the United States and shale oil in Israel – include Rupert Murdoch and Lord Jacob Rothschild.  [...] FULL AT SOURCE https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2015/09/why-murdoch-pushes-for-war/ #Syria ex US intel analysis Concurs with Assange  / US War on Syria author/journalist, Wayne Madsen US plans to topple Syria’s Assad go back to 9/11 http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2015/09/10/428634/Syria-Assange-US-Assad-Wayne-Madsen-911 WikiLeaks BOOK  http://www.versobooks.com/books/1931-the-wikileaks-files #Syria #WikiLeaks #ASSANGE US is an Empire 'US planned to oust Assad long before 2011 uprising' http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/foreign/10-Sep-2015/us-planned-to-oust-assad-long-before-2011-uprising EXTRACTS - UK SECRET DRONE BOMBING SYRIA / AGAINST PARLIAMENTARY VETO NEW direction: criminal law treated as 'global law' Cardiff jihadist: Jones informed of Syria drone strike Written by: iFreePress Prime Minister David Cameron said the attorney general had agreed there was a “clear legal basis” for targeting Khan. Prime Minister David Cameron was challenged to shed light on specific threats that led to the killing of Islamic State (IS) militants Reyaad Khan and Ruhul Amin in the Syrian city of Raqqa, which he declared “an act of self-defence”. He said: “These were terrorists who’d been planning a series of attacks on the streets of our country, some involving public events, there are other terrorists making similar plans and we have to do what we can to keep our streets safe”. [ ...] Last week The Washington Post revealed that the Central Intelligence Agency and US Special Operations forces have launched a “secret drone campaign” in Syria as part of a “targeted killing program that is run separately from the broader U.S. military offensive against the Islamic State”. What we are talking about are enemy combatants who have chosen to take up arms against the armed forces of their own country and its allies. [ ... ] “There was no other way of preventing the kind of armed attack they were involved in planning”, Fallon said, during an interview with ITV, cited by the Guardian. They say they will target ISIL fighters. Ministers said the decision had been taken on advice from the attorney general, Britain’s chief legal advisor. Now, he said, the USA “warlike paradigm” had been adopted instead. And may they assist finish the struggle in Syria or make it worse? When it was suggested that drone operators had targeted and taken out British individuals in Syria without the endorsement of the Commons, he said: “Put it like that, then that is wrong”. Phillipe Sands QC, professor of law at University College London, however, told the BBC’s Today program that Cameron’s line of argument represented a “new direction” for the United Kingdom, which had previously treated cases like this as matters for criminal rather than global law. http://www.ifreepress.com/cardiff-jihadist-jones-informed-of-syria-drone-strike/ ---------------------- ꕤ ---------------------- COMMENT News that caught my eye.
