As Britain readies to host the G8 summit, the documents uncovered by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden have revealed that back in 2009 US spies intercepted top-secret communications of then Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev, during his visit to London.
The shocking news was broken by The Guardian which has seen the documents. It also revealed that a UK intelligence agency, GCHQ, monitored foreign politicians and intercepted their emails during the 2009 G20 summit held in the British capital, which among others was attended by Medvedev. Some delegates were tricked into using internet cafes which had been set up by UK intelligence agencies to read their email traffic.

Earlier today I watched the press conference of Cameron and Putin. It was very interesting because Putin was speaking Russian and Cameron, English. You could have cut the tension with a knife. That was my take.
They both came out of this meeting where they were discussing the situation in Syria ahead of the G8. The dialog was of course, diplomatic, but the body language was not. Putin is a smooth operator. I was impressed by his responses to questions. He had some notes and even during his original statement which he made in the Russian language, he didn't use a teleprompter. You could tell he was in command of the issues. My impression was he is not gonna lay down, and he has serious disagreements with the Western powers. And he is a lefty for those of you that were curious.
Anyway. There is my buck-fiftyedit on 16-6-2013 by GrantedBail because: (no reason given)

Oh, for sure. Both of these men have deep backgrounds in intelligence. They know of the capabilities, and are using them as well. I am sure they are using secure communications.

No like I mean they aren't ignorant and unaware of the capabilities, as they have the same tech.
Duh?
