&quot;Cold-blooded baby-killer&quot; will get no jail time for Iraqi massacre
After agreeing to a plea bargain on Monday, Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich expected a sentence of 90 days in jail for slaughtering civilians during a 2005 massacre in Iraq. On Tuesday that term was nixed, and now the confessed killer will only be demoted.

Anonymous reveals Haditha massacre emails
TAGS: Internet, Information Technology, Iraq, USA
Anonymous have unveiled their second major release for this week’s installment of FuckFBIFriday. Their target this time around is Frank Wuterich, the US Marine that admitted to killing Iraqi civilians — and received no jail time for his crime.
Early Friday afternoon, members of the loose-knit online collective Anonymous began circulating news that the website for Puckett and Faraj, the high-profile attorneys that represented Sgt. Frank Wuterich in his recent trial, had been hacked. Wuterich admitted to leading Marines into two civilian homes in Waditha, Iraq in 2005, massacring 24 civilians including women, children and an elderly man confined to a wheelchair.
In response, hacktivists with Anonymous have uncovered gigabytes worth of correspondence from Sgt. Wuterich’s attorneys and affiliated parties.
Last month, a military tribunal finally finished their hearing on Sgt. Wuterich, more than six years after the notorious slaughter. Insiders reported before his sentencing that he was expected to receive only 90 days behind bars. When the case ended, he was sentenced to zero.
Anonymous members have hacked into the website for Sgt. Wuterich’s attorneys and have since defaced it with a detailed message explaining how the self-proclaimed “cold-blooded killer” became their latest target.
“As part of our ongoing efforts to expose the corruption of the court systems and the brutality of US imperialism, we want to bring attention to USMC SSgt Frank Wuterich who along with his squad murdered dozens of unarmed civilians during the Iraqi Occupation,” reads a message now on the homepage of his attorney’s website. “Can you believe this scumbag had his charges reduced to involuntary manslaughter and got away with only a pay cut?”
“Meanwhile,” adds the Anonymous-penned message, “Bradley Manning who was brave enough to risk his life and freedom to expose the truth about government corruption is threatened with life imprisonment.”
“When justice cannot be found within the confines of their crooked court systems, we must seek revenge on the streets and on the internet – and dealing out swift retaliation is something we are particularly good at. Worry not comrades, it&#039;s time to deliver some epic ownage.”
In addition to defacing the website of his attorneys, nearly 3 gigabytes of email correspondence belonging to his attorneys have been leaked online.
“And to add a few layers of icing to this delicious caek, we got the usual boatloads of embarrassing personal information. How do you think the world will react when they find out Neal Puckett and his marine buddies have been making crude jokes about the incident where marines have been caught on video pissing on dead bodies in Afghanistan? Or that he regularly corresponds with and receives funding from former marine Don Greenlaw who runs the racist blog http://snooper.wordpress.com? We believe it is time to release all of their private information and court evidence to the world and conduct a People&#039;s trial of our own,” writes Anonymous
The announcement this afternoon comes only hours after Anonymous operatives posted a recorded phone message that they intercepted from the FBI and Scotland Yard. Hours later, The Associated Press reports that the FBI confirmed the interception and says it is going after the parties responsible.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s appropriate to post this on this page/site but a.

Adrian Lamo Comments on NSA
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adrian Lamo sends 31 January 2012:
Hello,
I realize I&#039;m late to the party, but I&#039;m putting this on the public record just the same.
In the [January 7, 2011] story at http://cnet.co/ziTPdF, Declan McCullagh writes:
One of the NSA&#039;s missions is, of course, information assurance.
But its normally lustrous star in the political firmament has dimmed a bit due to Wikileaks-related revelations.
Bradley Manning, the U.S. Army private who is accused of liberating hundreds of thousands of confidential government documents from military networks and sending them to Wikileaks, apparently joked about the NSA&#039;s incompetence in an online chat last spring.
&quot;I even asked the NSA guy if he could find any suspicious activity coming out of local networks,&quot; Manning reportedly said in a chat transcript provided by ex-hacker Adrian Lamo. &quot;He shrugged and said, &#039;It&#039;s not a priority.&#039; &quot;
I reject and repudiate the implication that the snippet of conversation between myself and Bradley Manning is representative of any attitude on the part of the NSA beyond that of the particular individual assigned to FOB Hammer outside Baghdad.
Specifically, it should not be taken as representative of the posture of the agency as a whole. It was clearly intended (by PFC. Manning) to disparage the skills or attentiveness of one particular agent or technician (who, by now, is probably seeking new employment) rather than define the capabilities of the NSA as a whole.
To be clear, I am in no way privy to any special knowledge or insight as to the NSA&#039;s capabilities, technology, tactics, or training. No aspect of my unavoidable past, present or immediate future involvement with the .gov or the .nsa.smil.mil/nsa.ic.gov influences this opinion. For purposes of this note, I am relying on open-source intelligence.
My sole purpose in proffering this note is to clear the air in re. a part of a conversation to which I was a party being used to paint a picture that is not representative of its context.
Neither is this reply intended to impugn Declan McCullagh&#039;s skills or ethics as a journalist, both of which are beyond reproach and are routinely described positively by sources considering approaching him. It is my good-faith belief that he may have overestimated the understanding that PFC. Manning held in re. the capabilities of the National Security Agency, among other benign possibilities.
Thank you for reading.
Cheers,
/s/
Adrian Lamo

I am a former u.s. soldier and believe me when i say that every recruit takes an oath before entering the service and they explained us in great detail before hand before we raised our hands over what the oath actually means.
The most important part of the oath is &quot;to protect the constitution against ALL enemy&#039;s foreign and domestic&quot;. This means that protecting the constitution is actually higher than orders of the president.
To make things short, manning did the right thing and thats what soldiers are supposed to do, a real soldier risks his/her own ass to do what is right and it needed to be done regardless of the consequences.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I must agree.</p><p>I am a former u.s. soldier and believe me when i say that every recruit takes an oath before entering the service and they explained us in great detail before hand before we raised our hands over what the oath actually means.</p><p>The most important part of the oath is &#8220;to protect the constitution against ALL enemy&#8217;s foreign and domestic&#8221;.
