Good point, but the Greenwald-Snowden case is a little different. We all know the identities of the informants. The issue with the harassment of Miranda has nothing to do with espionage, it's just heavy handed. In the case of the Chinese hackers, they were spying on reporters to discover their sources. What they appeared to be looking for were the names of people who might have provided information to Mr. Barboza. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/31/technology/chinese-hackers... AFAIK we don't have evidence of similar US spying for the purpose of blackmail, harassment, etc. because my concern is whether the NSA might use its sources for those ends. |
