    Jumping to conclusions about this particular piece, but still, the larger story does show your comparison to an organized criminal enterprise is not far off.

    meh, it's a big story in the UK, but there's no connection to the US (other than pure speculation).

    but that won't prevent obots from using it to try and distract from 9.2% unemployment and running guns to mexican drug-lords.

    that's pretty much all you do, so you should feel comfortable in your element

    Probably just consists of a registered agent (CT, I'd guess) and a few news stringers - anyway it's obviously not nearly as extensive as it is at their principal executive office - 1211 Avenue of the Americas.

    Guess where that is? Hint: It's not London or Sydney! :)

    And my comment was about the goings-on in the UK. It's funny. Here's a story that should outrage everyone regardless of political leanings yet you come in here and your first thought is to try and innoculate the GOP establishment (which includes Fox News) from any fallout. Amazing.

    What do you think about the revelations in the UK?

    You know I was thinking there really isn't much to debate here (except how offensive the thread title is. ;)) but I guess someone would find a way to try to diminish this.

    Color me naive, but I think it is important when one of our closest democratic allies is illegally subverted and manipulated by a corporation.
