Edward Snowden’s girlfriend living with him in Moscow, film reveals | US news | theguardian.com

The mystery of the whereabouts of Edward Snowden’s long-time girlfriend is solved in a documentary that premiered in New York on Friday night: she has been living with the national security whistleblower in Russia since July.

The surprise revelation in the documentary, filmed by Laura Poitras, upends the widespread assumption that Snowden had deserted Lindsay Mills and that she, in a fit of pique, fled Hawaii where they had been living to stay with her parents in mainland US.

Revisionist History 101: Bush Was Right About Iraq WMD! – The Intercept

So WMD were, in fact, found in Iraq. Unfortunately, 'Bush Wasn't Lying' is not an especially catchy slogan … https://t.co/iYaZdrT3l0

The latest attempt came yesterday, when The New York Times published an explosive new story on American soldiers who were wounded while handling corroded munitions extracted from Saddam Hussein’s inactive chemical weapons program. The Iraq Study Group has long documented the existence of these decrepit and corroded weapons stocks in Iraq, something which has precisely nothing to do with the “Weapons of Mass Destruction” claims purveyed by war supporters.

The inconvenient truth is that the U.S. was aware of the existence of such weapons at the Al Muthanna site as far back as 1991. Why? Because Al Muthanna was the site where the UN ordered Saddam Hussein to dispose of his declared chemical munitions in the first place. Those weapons that could not safely be destroyed were sealed and left to decay on their own, which they did. The site was neither “active” nor “clandestine” — it was a declared munitions dump being used to hold the corroded weapons which Western powers themselves had in most cases helped Saddam procure.

NBC/WSJ Poll: Majority Say Ground Troops Needed to Fight ISIS

More Americans Back U.S. Ground Troops in ISIS Fight – NBC News.com

The newest poll shows that 41 percent of respondents think ground troops and airstrikes are necessary, compared with 35 percent who think the actions should be limited to airstrikes. Fifteen percent of those polled said no military action should be taken.

A month ago, just 34 percent — a seven-point difference — favored both airstrikes and combat troops, and 40 percent wanted just airstrikes.

US ends ban on ‘domestic propaganda’ — RT USA

The Smith-Mundt Act has ensured for decades that government-made media intended for foreign audiences doesn’t end up on radio networks broadcast within the US. An amendment tagged onto the National Defense Authorization Act removed that prohibition this year

The longstanding federal law made it illegal for the US Department of State to share domestically the internally-authored news stories sent to American-operated
outlets broadcasting around the globe. All of that changed effective July 2, when the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) was given permission to let US households tune-in to hear the
type of programming that has previously only been allowed in outside nations.

2-alarm fire in Federal Way started in marijuana grow op | Local & Regional | Seattle News, Weather, Sports, Breaking News | KOMO News

He said another tenant – a marijuana grow operation – occupied the basement of the building, and investigators later determined the fire started there. It wasn’t immediately known whether it was a legal medical pot grow or an illegal operation. Tenants tell KOMO News they knew about the grow operation, but were told by the owners it was a legal business. A spokesperson with the State Liquor Control Board says their records show nobody at the Federal Way address is licensed to grow recreational marijuana, however the state does not have records or oversight when it comes to medical marijuana growers.

BBC News – FBI boss ‘concerned’ by smartphone encryption plans

“I’d hate to have people look at me and say, ‘Well how come you can’t save this kid?’ ‘How come you can’t do this thing?'” said Mr Comey in a briefing.

His comments came in reaction to a decision by Apple to enable a file encryption system on its iOS 8 software for which it has no keys. This means it would not be able to comply with any official request to help police get at the data on those devices.

Mr Comey said he was “very concerned” about these plans because of what they would allow people to do.

“What concerns me about this is companies marketing something expressly to allow people to place themselves beyond the law,” he said.

“I am a huge believer in the rule of law, but I am also a believer that no-one in this country is beyond the law,” he added.

Apple and Google have yet to respond to Mr Comey’s comments.

Lenovo set to complete acquisition of IBM x86 server business

Lenovo has announced that it will be closing the acquisition deal of IBM’s x86 server business on October 1. The closing purchase price is lower than the $2.3 billion announced in January because of a change in the valuation of inventory and deferred revenue liability, Lenovo said. Roughly $1.8 billion will be paid in cash and the remainder in stock. Lenovo says it had “big plans” for the enterprise market. “We will compete vigorously across every sector, using our manufacturing scale, and operational excellence to repeat the success we have had with PCs,” the company added.

Ubuntu Touch For Phones Hits RTM, First Phones Coming This Year

In early 2013, Canonical showed the world Ubuntu Touch, a version of Ubuntu developed specifically for smartphones. Now, the mobile operating system has finally reached “release to manufacturing” status. (Here’s the release announcement.) The first phone running Ubuntu Touch, the Meizu MX4, will start shipping in December. “Details are scarce on its hardware, but a leak from iGeek suggests the Pro variant may have a Samsung Exynos 5430 processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 2560×1536 resolution screen. … This more powerful hardware is good news if true, and it bodes well for Ubuntu’s vision of computing convergence.” Softpedia has a preview of the RTM version of the OS. They say performance has improved significantly, even on old phones, and that the UI has been polished into a much better state.
