NSA & GHCQ harassing people

Snowden Documents Reveal Covert Surveillance and Pressure Tactics Aimed at WikiLeaks and Its Supporters.

And with that the NSA has set back cross-national-boundary rape investigations at least a century. Along with any other credibility for extradition requests.

Via a lot of places, but this MeFi entry, which also mentioned this report from Jacob Applebaum's presentation to the Chaos Communications Congress:

... One case involved Julian Assange's current home at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where visitors were surprised to receive welcome messages from a Ugandan telephone company. It turned out the messages were coming from a foreign base station device installed on the roof, masquerading as a cell tower for surveillance purposes. Appelbaum suspects the GCHQ simply forgot to reformat the device from an earlier Ugandan operation.
