Finally an article worth reading for. I found a very long article from that site and you guys should read this ten page long article about what she's experienced.
How Laura Poitras Helped Snowden Spill His Secrets

Your link is borked

It's a conspiracy!

Yeah I just checked it and it's gone. It's really a good article it's worth making a movie from it. It tells what's going on behind the scenes during those period. Maybe it's just overloaded, try it again later.

The whole website is gone. Is it being hacked? Googled Http/1.1 Service Unavailable looks like the system is crashed

Edit:
It seems it's a result of the previous attack or something there's no official report about it yet.

Anyway, the whole website is back online so be sure to check this long but very interesting articles.

DarkMatter2525 "thought it would be funny to give the NSA the Michael Bay treatment". Here's the result.

Snowden's leaks really have stuck a nerve, haven't they? It's actually really funny watching all these governments lash out in vain to get back at Snowden.

I don't think our(germany's) government dares oppose snowden right now. It's right before the next election and government transperency is part of our constitution, so all the activist will gather I'd say.

What's a groklaw?

They are really in a panic, aren't they? I still believe all governments have part in this though. Otherwise they would cut all ties with the US to voice their opinion out. Well maybe the governments are just so stupid that they don't even know it's the end of privacy.

It's a fact that the german government (or at least our BND) was involved, and that lead to some heavy credibility backlash for the coalition in power. I'm just saying that whoever proposes that we should raid a newspaper is going to be the one loosing the next election. I don't have any privacy anyway. once when I flew to israel the official checking me in the airport knew things about my past with much more detail than I remember them.

Got this in my email. I am not usually in support of the ACLU, but this one time, maybe. And maybe they should have made it scarier, than what they did in the video. I suppose the NSA does this already, except give you the pizza.

NSA hacked into encrypted UN communications, leaked documents show

Lol I must've been drunk when I said this cause I don't recall ever saying it, and it's stupid to think that my encryption could be just as strong as a country's lol.
