"Theft" of Vets' data
The story of a theft from an employee's home has to be a total fabrication. That much data on a single disk? Thieves who just happened to know what was on said disk and just happened to break in at that particular time? Thieves who were both amazingly lucky and amazingly tech savvy? And knew just where the disk was, presumably on someone's desk? Did they pick up the disk and leave the silverware?

Clearly, the information is now in the wrong hands. But they're going to have to come up with a story that doesn't insult our intelligence so completely.

1. Nah, I believe it ...
... it was undoubtedly the same guy who broke into the military records office and ONLY TOOK the records proving that Bushie had completed his military service.

2. Personally, I think nearly *all* of the data theft stories over the past
Edited on Mon May-22-06 04:31 PM by seafan
year or so are just the cover story we are being fed to obscure and bestow plausible deniability on the corporations as they turn over Americans' data to the NSA.


Choice Point.... Bank of America.... Department of Motor Vehicles, Las Vegas..... Florida State employees' data sent overseas by Convergys....Senate financial records(Choicepoint)....Citibank....the telecom corporations.... UCal at Berkeley....LexisNexus/Seisint....Time Warner....now 26.5 million U.S. veterans.....

...just to remember a few!


*They* think people will accept common theft of data with a shrug and a sigh, 'it happens, so whaddya gonna do,' etc. This is the big lie.

We are being lied to, sold out, and left extremely vulnerable. And with this farce of a Republican Congress enabling these monsters to continue assaulting our country, we are in deep trouble.


And with the breaking news of the leak of the ATT whistle blower documents on the net today, we are rapidly reaching critical mass.

Keep pushing, everybody.

Bush served without honor.

Everyone knows it. The media pretends otherwise. But who the hell pays any attention to the lying corporate media anymore??? They have soiled their own knickers...
