News

NBC’s Brian Williams told varying versions of rocket fire in Israel-Hezbollah war

NBC News anchor Brian Williams certainly has placed himself in dangerous situations in covering wars and natural disasters over the years. But how much danger? With Williams, the answer varies.

In his words: Brian Williams’ interview with Stars and Stripes

Questions have also arisen around statements he made about reporting on Hurricane Katrina from New Orleans in 2005, and Israel’s war with the militant group Hezbollah in 2006.

Pentagon requests $534bn for 2016, largest ever war budget

The White House will be seeking $534 billion from Congress to run the Pentagon in 2016 — its largest budget ever.

However, a source told RT that the budget is actually closer to $1 trillion, and has been for several administrations.

Debate brews over whether Williams can survive controversy

Some critics suggest that Williams, who apologized last week for falsely claiming that he was in a helicopter that had been hit by a grenade while in Iraq in 2003, should be fired. Others wonder if commerce will win out, since Williams has kept “Nightly News” at the top of the ratings while much of his news division crumbled around him. How much are the years of good work worth?

“This is one of the toughest calls that I’ve ever seen,” said Paul Levinson, professor of communications and media studies at Fordham University. “On the one hand, the public is right to expect nothing but the truth from our reporters and our news anchors.”

Williams announced Saturday he was stepping away from the show for a few days. NBC News, which launched an internal probe, hasn’t given a timetable for how long its look into Williams’ statements, coordinated by the division’s investigative editor Richard Esposito, will take or if its report will be made public.

Williams’ sub, Lester Holt, told viewers midway through Monday’s broadcast that Williams had taken himself off the air because questions have been raised about how he recalled several stories. Holt did not specify what the stories or questions were.

“He’ll be off while this issue is dealt with,” Holt said.

Edward Snowden has once again captured the attention of the media. False claims, and ridiculous rhetoric are in full force, and we’ll cut through the crap.

Plus: What we suspect is going on with TrueCrypt, Greenwald claims he’s ready to disclose names of the NSA’s targets, the big changes in Afghanistan, and why the director of FBI wants to hire pot smokers.

NSA is Crazy

TrueCrypt Hacked?

The binary on the website is capable only to decode encrypted data, not encode, and may contain trojan (although I didn\’t find any, but don\’t believe me). The binary is signed with the valid (usual) key. All old versions are wiped, the repository is wiped too.

Assumption #1 The website is presumed hacked, the keys are presumed compromised. Please do not download or run it. And please don\’t switch to bitlocker.

Latest working version is 7.1a. Version 7.2 is a hoax

On the SourceForge, the keys were changed before any TrueCrypt files uploaded, but now they are deleted and the old keys got reverted back.

Why I think so: strange key change, DNS record changed, why bitlocker?

Assumption #2 Something bad happened to TrueCrypt developers (i.e. take down or death) or to TrueCrypt itself (i.e. found the worst vulnerability ever) which made them do such a thing. So this version is legit

Why I think so: all files are with valid signatures, all the releases are available (Windows; Linux x86, x86_64, console versions, Mac OS, sources), the binaries seems like was built on the usual developer PC (there are some paths like c:\\truecrypt-7.2\\driver\\obj_driver_release\\i386\\truecrypt.pdb, which were the same for 7.1a).

SourceForge sent emails on 22 May, they said they changed password algorithms and everybody should change their passwords.
TrueCrypt developers are unknown and currently there is no way to know who is who and who should we listen to.
From wikileaks twitter https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/471769936038461440:

(1/4) Truecrypt has released an update saying that it is insecure and development has been terminated https://truecrypt.sf.net

(2/4) the style of the announcement is very odd; however we believe it is likely to be legitimate and not a simple defacement

(3/4) the new executable contains the same message and is cryptographically signed. We believe that there is either a power conflict..

(4/4) in the dev team or psychological issues, coersion of some form, or a hacker with access to site and keys.

From Matthew Green (one of TrueCrypt auditor) twitter https://twitter.com/matthew_d_green/status/471752508147519488:

@SteveBellovin @mattblaze @0xdaeda1a I think this is legit.

That One Time I Threw A CryptoParty With Edward Snowden

After wrapping up my presentation, Snowden connected his laptop to the projector and began talking about using the TrueCrypt software for encrypting hard drives and USB sticks on Macs, Linux and Windows. He pointed out that while the only known name associated with TrueCrypt is someone in the Czech Republic, TrueCrypt is one of the best open-source solutions available.

Snowden continued with TrueCrypt\’s _\”hidden volumes\”, a feature that divides your encrypted storage into separate \”volumes\” with separate passwords. If you are coerced by authorities into revealing the password for your \”encrypted storage\” you need only reveal the password for the volume with the least incriminating content — one containing pictures of cats, maybe?_

The Lies Mike Rogers Told Congress About The USA Freedom Act

One of the most obvious ways that you knew the USA Freedom Act that passed out of the House yesterday was clearly not real NSA reform was the simple fact that the NSA #1 defender in chief, Rep. Mike Rogers, not only voted for it, but spoke strongly in favor of it on the House floor.

NSA leaker Edward Snowden \’was trained as a spy,\’ he tells NBC

\”I was trained as a spy in sort of the traditional sense of the word — in that I lived and worked undercover, overseas, pretending to work in a job that I\’m not — and even being assigned a name that was not mine,\” Snowden said.

Kerry: Snowden a \”Coward\” and \”Traitor\” ](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/first-read/kerry-snowden-coward-traitor-n116366)

“Edward Snowden is a coward, he is a traitor and he has betrayed his country,” Kerry said in an interview on MSNBC’s “The Daily Rundown” with Chuck Todd. “And if he wants to come home tomorrow to face the music, he can do so.”

\”If this man is a patriot, he should stay in the United States and make his case,\” he said. \”Patriots don\’t go to Russia, they don\’t seek asylum in Cuba, they don\’t seek asylum in Venezuela, they fight their cause here.\”

Afghanistan Late Pullout

White House mistakenly identifies CIA chief in Afghanistan

The CIA\’s top officer in Kabul was exposed Saturday by the White House when his name was inadvertently included on a list provided to news organizations of senior U.S. officials participating in President Obama\’s surprise visit with U.S. troops.

The Post is withholding the name of the CIA officer at the request of Obama administration officials who warned that the officer and his family could be at risk if the name were published. The CIA and the White House declined to comment.

White House: U.S. will have 9,800 troops in Afghanistan after 2014

The U.S. will leave 9,800 troops in the country in 2015 with two narrow missions, according to the White House: continue supporting Afghan forces, who took the lead ins securing the country last year, and continuing to support counter terrorism operations against the remnants of al Qaeda.

Comey: FBI ‘Grappling’ With Hiring Policy Concerning Marijuana

Congress has authorized the FBI to add 2,000 personnel to its rolls this year, and many of those new recruits will be assigned to tackle cyber crimes, a growing priority for the agency. And that\’s a problem, Mr. Comey told the White Collar Crime Institute, an annual conference held at the New York City Bar Association in Manhattan. A lot of the nation\’s top computer programmers and hacking gurus are also fond of marijuana.

\”I have to hire a great work force to compete with those cyber criminals and some of those kids want to smoke weed on the way to the interview,\” Mr. Comey said.

Mr. Comey said that the agency was \”grappling with the question right now\” of how to amend the agency\’s marijuana policies, which excludes from consideration anyone who has smoked marijuana in the previous three years, according to the FBI\’s Web site. One conference goer asked Mr. Comey about a friend who had shied away from applying because of the policy. \”He should go ahead and apply,\” despite the marijuana use, Mr. Comey said.

The FBI Says It Can\’t Find Hackers to Hire Because They All Smoke Pot

After being chastised for his comments about marijuana by Senator Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), FBI director Comey told those in attendance at a senate hearing on the bureau\’s oversight that he was just kidding.
