美國中情局對付中國的《十條誡令》

維基解密:中環花園道26號才是飯民的心目中的「治港中心」嗎?

那些經由黎賤英做「中間代理人」向美國華府收取黑金的人權鬥士、民主派議會、律師，平時牠們大大聲爭取民主公義言論自由，今次夠膽於此事上向美國說一聲「不」嗎？

當然不會，看看牠們的主子黎賤英的黑傳媒集團旗下＜賤果日報＞及＜喪報＞是可以連英文翻譯都「做手腳」，就知呢批漢奸走狗賣國賊是極之忠於美利堅、美國護照及以十萬百萬計的美金！

一個眾所周知的新聞報導也要造假實在很悲哀

叛諜逃港爆美白色恐怖

美國政府上周被揭監控民眾通信紀錄，引起全球譁然。事件背後的告密者、29歲的斯諾登昨主動揭露身份，並透露自己正藏身香港。作為前中情局（CIA）職員，他深明洩密的嚴重後果，坦言「不期待可以再看到家園」，希望到冰島尋求政治庇護。冰島移民局則表示，仍未接到相關申請。

繼指控美政府監控Facebook、Google及Yahoo等九大公司伺服器後，告密者斯諾登再主動聯絡英國《衞報》記者，要求披露自己身份。他說：「我毋須隱藏身份，因為我知道自己是對的。」

曾任CIA技術助理，辭職後在負責美國國防業務的外判商任職，斯諾登不時接觸大量機密文件。他透露，當自己在國家安全局（NSA）的夏威夷辦公室，備份完最後一份欲公開的資料後，便稱病放假，並於5月20日出發到香港，向傳媒揭露NSA的惡行。

信任香港有言論自由

他表示，選擇來港是因為感到香港有很強言論自由傳統，是少數可以違抗美國政府命令的地方。不過，斯諾登亦深知道CIA的能力，「附近便有一個CIA情報站，就是美國駐港領事館。只要他們想要找到你，就一定能夠。」

因此，斯諾登多日來一直躲藏於酒店房間內，出門次數不超過三次。為怕被竊聽，他在酒店的房門前放置枕頭「吸音」，在電腦輸入密碼時又以連着衣服的帽子蓋着電腦。他坦言，面前等着他的「不會有好事」，他亦不期待可以再看到家園。

斯諾登的消極及絕望，是因為他在瑞士日內瓦工作時，充分了解到CIA做事的手段。他指：「CIA為了聘請到一名銀行家，他們施計讓他因醉酒駕駛被捕，再透過卧底接觸及幫助他，最後當然如願以償，成功聘請到他。」斯諾登認為，CIA會用盡一切人力物力，甚至出動黑社會去對付他。

面對如此沉重的代價，斯諾登為何仍要冒險洩密？他表示：「因為我不能背着良心讓美國政府破壞全世界人類的隱私、網路自由與基本人權。」已做好最壞打算的斯諾登，目前最擔心身在夏威夷的家人安全。他表示，之後希望到冰島尋求政治庇護。

另外，尖沙咀The Mira酒店向CNN證實，一名與斯諾登同名的人士曾入住該酒店，但已於昨早退房。

國安局猶他州數據庫儲量驚人

美國白宮默認秘密收集民眾私人資料，而有關數據又匿藏在哪裏？據美國傳媒報道，耗資19億美元興建的國安局數據中心，有可能是收集點。國安局將人造衞星及人員收集得來的情報，傳送到數據中心分析，再傳至國安局總部和國防部。而估計中心儲存多達5 Zettabytes儲存量，即是儲存多達3,100億部16GB智能手機的資料。

位於美國猶他州鹽湖城以南的國安局數據中心，於今年落成。它是美國同類設施中最大及最昂貴，面積約九萬平方米，有四個儲存庫及兩組發電機，年消耗65兆瓦電力，每年電費約4,000萬美元。

港美引渡協議 未必通用

聲稱為公義而爆料的斯諾登潛逃香江，政府如何接手這燙手山芋成焦點。曾任保安局局長的新民黨主席葉劉淑儀稱，香港和美國簽訂刑事司法互助協定，美國有權要求協助拘捕。她直言，斯諾登若要保障自己，最好離開香港。

立法會保安事務委員會副主席涂謹申稱，斯諾登可向聯合國難民專員公署申請難民身份，若經批准，港府不能將他遞解出境。立法會議員兼資深大律師湯家驊則認為，縱然港美有引渡協議，但當中存有灰色地帶，不包括政治罪行，香港亦無先例可循。他相信，若香港無相對應的罪名，引渡法令或未必有效。

另外，時事評論員劉銳紹指，現階段並非刑事調查，事件暫時只屬言論自由的範疇，相信香港暫時不會執行協議，遞解斯諾登出境。

政府發言人回應指，所有個案均會按特區法例處理。

黑傳媒集團以外之媒體報導

Ex-CIA man says he exposed US spy scheme (Agencies) US National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden, an analyst with a US defence contractor, is seen in this still image taken from a video during an interview with the Guardian in his hotel room in Hong Kong June 6, 2013. The 29-year-old contractor at the NSA revealed top secret U.S. surveillance programmes to alert the public of what is being done in their name, the Guardian newspaper reported on Sunday. An ex-CIA employee working as a contractor at the US National Security Agency said on Sunday he was the source who leaked details of a top secret US surveillance program, acting out of conscience to protect “basic liberties for people around the world.” Holed up in a hotel room in Hong Kong, Edward Snowden, 29, said he had thought long and hard before publicizing details of an NSA program code-named PRISM, saying he had done so because he felt the United States was building an unaccountable and secret espionage machine that spied on every American. Snowden, a former technical assistant at the CIA, said he had been working at the super-secret NSA as an employee of contractor Booz Allen. He said he decided to leak information after becoming disenchanted with President Barack Obama, who he said had continued the policies of predecessor George W. Bush. “I don’t want to live in a society that does these sort of things … I do not want to live in a world where everything I do and say is recorded. That is not something I am willing to support or live under,” he told the Guardian newspaper, which published a video interview with him on its website. Both the Guardian and the Washington Post said last week that US security services had monitored data about phone calls from Verizon and Internet data from large companies such as Google and Facebook. In naming Snowden on Sunday, the newspapers said he had sought to be identified. “The NSA has built an infrastructure that allows it to intercept almost everything,” Snowden said in explaining his actions. “With this capability, the vast majority of human communications are automatically ingested without targeting. If I wanted to see your emails or your wife’s phone, all I have to do is use intercepts. I can get your emails, passwords, phone records, credit cards,” he said. WORKED AT NSA FOR FOUR YEARS The Guardian said Snowden had been working at the NSA for four years as a contractor for outside companies. Three weeks ago, he copied the secret documents at the NSA office in Hawaii and told his supervisor he needed “a couple of weeks” off for treatment for epilepsy, the paper said. On May 20 he flew to Hong Kong. The CIA and the White House declined to comment, while a spokesman for the Director of National Intelligence would not comment directly about Snowden himself but said the intelligence community was reviewing damage done by the recent leaks. “Any person who has a security clearance knows that he or she has an obligation to protect classified information and abide by the law,” said the spokesman, Shawn Turner. The NSA has requested a criminal probe into the leaked information. On Sunday, the US Justice Department said it was in the initial stages of a criminal investigation following the leaks. Booz Allen, a US management and technology consultancy, said reports of the leaked information were “shocking and if accurate, this action represents a grave violation” of company policy. It said Snowden had been employed by the company for less than three months and that it would cooperate with any investigations. A spokesman for Dell Inc declined to comment on reports that Snowden had been employed at that company. In 2009, Dell acquired Perot Systems, a US government contractor that did work for US intelligence agencies. Snowden’s decision to reveal his identity and whereabouts lifts the lid on one of the biggest security leaks in US history and escalates a story that has placed a bright light on Obama’s extensive use of secret surveillance. The exposure of the secret programs has triggered widespread debate within the United States and abroad about the vast reach of the NSA, which has expanded its surveillance dramatically in since the September 11 attacks on Washington and New York in 2001. US officials say the agency operates within the law. Some members of Congress have indicated support for the NSA activities, while others pushed for tougher oversight and possible changes to the law authorizing the surveillance.

Speculation rife in Hong Kong over Edward Snowden’s fate (By Christy Choi and Patrick Boehler) As Hong Kong authorities remain silent on the whereabouts and potential fate of US whistle-blower Edward Snowden, legal and political experts are weighing in on what could happen and the choices available to 29-year-old former intelligence contractor. If Snowden wanted to stay in Hong Kong, his best chance would be to apply for refugee status, under the claim that he could be subjected to torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment (CIDTP) or punishment if extradited back to the United States, said Patricia Ho, a solicitor with local human rights law firm Daly and Associates – “With the reports about the treatment of Bradley Manning, there’s an arguable case for him facing CIDTP,” said Ho in a phone interview with the South China Morning Post on Monday. Manning, whose trial started last week, has been held in solitary confinement, made to strip naked at night, and checked every five minutes, causing the UN special rapporteur on torture Juan Mendez to formally accuse the US government in 2012 of violating his human rights. “The recent judgment in the Court of Final Appeals with Ubamaka, clearly ruled that anyone facing CIDTP cannot be removed from Hong Kong,” said Ho. Hong Kong does not grant asylum itself, but allows those seeking it to stay indefinitely until they are able to find a country willing to host them. Ho said if it’s a simple application for protection as a refugee, the matter would not end up in the city’s courts, and be dealt as an administrative issue, but that it would likely end up in the courts if the United States files an extradition order. She said if the US government could make diplomatic assurances that Snowden would not face degrading treatment or torture if sent back, they could have Snowden sent back home, but whether or not they would be believed after their treatment of Manning, was another question. Cosmo Beatson, founder of Vision First, an organisation that helps refugees in Hong Kong, said he didn’t think claiming refugee status is a viable option for Snowden. “He’ll have to surrender his passport, and he’d have to stay in Hong Kong until his claim is settled. I don’t see him wanting to give that up if he’s being chased,” said Beatson. He added that since 1992, only four out of 12,500 such claims have been approved. In Hong Kong, a request for asylum would also trump any US extradition requests, said Nicholas Bequelin, a Hong Kong-based senior researcher with Human Rights Watch. Yet, the US has yet to charge Snowden for leaking the information he claims to have provided to the Washington Post and The Guardian, but the US Justice Department has confirmed a criminal investigation into the leaks. Hong Kong and the US have signed an extradition treaty, under which the city is obliged to send Snowden back, barring these humanitarian considerations or policy objections by Beijing. “It is not so much up to the Hong Kong government to do much, after all the Chinese authorities probably have a say in this,” said Joseph Cheng Yu-shek, a professor of political science at City University, referring to a clause in Hong Kong’s extradition treaty with the US, which gives Beijing a veto in extraditions. “If one wants the Hong Kong government to do something, there must be sufficient voice from the civil society,” he said. “Mr Snowden has to articulate his position first. Does he want to stay in Hong Kong, what does he propose to do in Hong Kong?” “Why not give him asylum?” said a senior European diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity. “A human rights case in which the Chinese grant asylum to an American – what a master stroke for Beijing.”

Treaty gives Hong Kong option to reject Snowden extradition to the US (SCMP) Hong Kong could refuse to extradite US whistleblower Edward Snowden if Beijng wanted to keep him, according to a treaty signed between the United States and Hong Kong almost two decades ago. Hong Kong has the “right of refusal when surrender implicates the ‘defense, foreign affairs or essential public interest or policy'” of the People’s Republic of China, according to the US-Hong Kong Extradition Treaty signed in 1997. Snowden chose to seek refuge in Hong Kong because of the city’s “strong tradition of free speech”, he said in an interview with the Guardian published earlier today. He also said that he was concerned about being handed to mainland Chinese or US authorities. The US justice deparment has initiated an investigation into his leaking of a secret US data gathering programme, that has collected records of trillions of online messages and phone calls over several years. US members of congress have already called for his extradition to the US to stand trial. China does not have an extradition treaty with the United States. According to notes on the treaty submitted to the US Senate, the Hong Kong negotiators had insisted on including clauses making it easily possible to deny extradition to the US, arguing that such a clause was essential in obtaining mainland Chinese approval for the treaty. As such, article 3 of the treaty allows the Chinese government to refuse surrendering a person if it thought the surrender “relates to (its) defense, foreign affairs or essential public interest or policy”. Hong Kong can also refuse if the city or the mainalnd have begun proceedings for the prosecution of that person. Hong Kong can reject an application if the city felt that the request was “politically motivated” or that Snowden would be prosecuted for his political opinions. Extradition requests can be made either through the US Consulate Generale in Hong Kong or Interpol, according to the treaty.
