34 charges for the little bitch who committed treason against the U.S..
Will they seek the death penalty, Hell no, they will probably drop most charges and tell him how we are sorry for what we have done.
Hopefully not, I would for once like to see someone treated the way they should be treated in a situation like this, like a POS, with no rights, he should be transported back and forth from his trial shackled and handcuffed(Maybe even a nice Ball gag for his piehole)then when his trial is over a nice Military firing squad.

Washington, Mar 3(ANI): Bradley Manning, the prime suspect in the leaking of classified US documents to the WikiLeaks whistleblowing website, has been hit with an additional 22 charges, including aiding the enemy.
The US Army intelligence analyst initially faced 12 charges, including transferring classified military information to his computer and "delivering national defense information to an unauthorized source".
As part of 22 additional counts, Army prosecutors said he "wrongfully and wantonly" caused intelligence to be published on the Internet, with the knowledge that it would be "accessible to the enemy".
Aiding the enemy is a capital offense, under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, but the military is not seeking the death penalty.
"The new charges more accurately reflect the broad scope of the crimes that Pvt. 1st Class Manning is accused of committing," Fox News quoted Captain John Haberland, a legal spokesman for the Military District of Washington, as saying.
The Army made the announcement of additional charges after seven months of investigation.

A new spy Drone.
Very sweet.
Do Hummingbirds hang out in the Middle east?
Foxnews
Pentagon researchers have taken robots for a science fiction spin, building a robotic hummingbird that's ideal for covert surveillance.
A year and a half ago, we saw our first look at the hummingbird drone from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), a teeny robotic spyplane inspired by the mid-air dexterity of the hummingbird. But now we've got a video of the drone in action, much more capable and with the ability to do its acrobatics for much longer.
The drone, built by AeroVironment with funding from DARPA, is able to fly forwards, backwards, and sideways, as well as rotate clockwise and counterclockwise. Not only does the 'bot resemble its avian inspiration in size (it's only slightly larger than a hummingbird, with a 6.5-inch wingspan and a weight of 19 grams), it also looks impressively like a hummingbird in flight.
The drone can currently fly for about eight minutes, impressive considering that range was only 20 seconds a short two years ago. But the engineers aren't satisfied, branding the current drone a prototype and continuing to work on it. Within a decade, says AeroVironment's project manager, this drone could easily be counted on to carry out complex and difficult reconnaissance missions.

FBI breaks up alleged Russian spy ring in deep cover
The Russians aare coming the Russians are coming ...
Oh Damn , they were already here !
This is nice you know , Russian spies living here in the U.S. with one thing in mind , Changing the Policies of the U.S.
Yes it is Bullshit , Yes we have probably done the same thing , so what you gonna do ?
Well I would start with letting Obama Know that You should ALWAYS keep your guard up ! Especially when it comes to Communists ! Even when they are acting like your BFF , they have a Knife right at your Back !
GaurdianUK
The FBI has arrested 10 alleged Russian spies and broken up a "long-term, deep cover" network of agents across America's east coast sent to infiltrate policy making circles.
The cracking of the alleged spy ring, the largest discovered in the US since the collapse of communism, came days after Barack Obama praised Dmitry Medvedev, Russia's president, at the White House as a "solid and reliable partner".
In a charge sheet that might have been taken from a cold war thriller, the FBI alleges that the Russian intelligence service, the SVR, had sent the 10 spies, and possibly many more, to live in the US many years ago under false names, with the intent of becoming so Americanised they could gather information without raising suspicion. Some of the agents lived as married couples.
The FBI said that it intercepted SVR messages, sent by "Moscow centre", to two of the accused spies.
"You were sent to USA for long-term service trip. Your education, your bank accounts, car, house, etc – all these serve one goal: fulfil your main mission, ie, to search and develop ties in policymaking circles in US and send intels (intelligence reports) to C (Centre)," the intercepted message said, according to the indictment. The FBI does not give any indication as to how successful the alleged agents were.
The arrests were made at Arlington in Virginia, near the Pentagon and CIA headquarters, and in New York, Boston and New Jersey. The justice department said one other alleged spy was being sought.
All the 10 have been charged with conspiracy to act as an agent of a foreign government. They face up to five years in prison if convicted, although it is possible that more serious charges will be added.
The alleged spies are also accused of money laundering, which carries lengthy prison sentences.

China removed as top priority for US spies
The White House National Security Council recently removed China from a priority 1 spy status down to a priority 2 status. This puts the priority of gaining intelligence on Chinese activities on par with humanitarian disasters.
This decision was made in order to foster a more cooperative relationship with Beijing.
So we're going to lower the priority to gain intelligence on China's rapidily growing military, their ceaseless cyberattacks and thieving of our military/industrial/commercial secrets for a hope of a better relationship with them. Great...just freaking excellent. Washington Times
The White House National Security Council recently directed U.S. spy agencies to lower the priority placed on intelligence collection for China, amid opposition to the policy change from senior intelligence leaders who feared it would hamper efforts to obtain secrets about Beijing's military and its cyber-attacks.
The downgrading of intelligence gathering on China was challenged by Director of National Intelligence Dennis C. Blair and CIA Director Leon E. Panetta after it was first proposed in interagency memorandums in October, current and former intelligence officials said.
The decision downgrades China from "Priority 1" status, alongside Iran and North Korea, to "Priority 2," which covers specific events such as the humanitarian crisis after the Haitian earthquake or tensions between India and Pakistan.

North Korean authorities have said they have arrested a US man who crossed into their territory.
The North's official KCNA news agency said the man had entered the country from China on 24 December. There is no official word on the man's identity.
However there have been reports that Robert Park, a US Christian activist, recently crossed into North Korea.
Colleagues say he wanted to highlight the country's human rights record and demand the release of prisoners.
"On December 24, a US citizen illegally entered the country across the North Korea-China border and has been detained. The person is currently undergoing questioning by a related agency," KCNA news agency said.
Associates of Mr Park reported that he had walked into North Korea from China across the frozen Tumen River.
They say he carried a letter urging the North's leader, Kim Jong-Il, to free political prisoners and improve human rights in the communist state, AFP news agency reports.
Earlier this year North Korea detained two US journalists on the border with China. They were released in August after four months in captivity.

Man pleads guilty selling counterfeit chips to Navy
A California man, Neil Felahy, pleaded guilty to conspiracy and counterfeit-goods trafficking. He faces up to Mr. Felahy sold counterfeit computer chips to the Naval Sea Systems Command. The counterfeit chips were purchased from China.
Purchasing counterfeit computer chips from China may have some serious consequences.
From IT World
In a plea agreement reached on Friday, Neil Felahy of Newport Coast, California, pleaded guilty to conspiracy and counterfeit-goods trafficking for his role in an alleged chip-counterfeiting scam that ran between 2007 and 2009. Felahy, his wife Marwah Felahy, and her brother Mustafa Abdul Aljaff operated several microchip brokerage companies that imported chips from Shenzhen, in China's Guangdong province.
They would buy counterfeit chips from China or else take legitimate chips, sand off the brand markings and melt the plastic casings with acid to make them appear to be of higher quality or a different brand, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a press release.[...]
The counterfeit chips were allegedly sold to Naval Sea Systems Command, the Washington, D.C., group responsible for maintaining the U.S. Navy's ships and systems, as well as an unnamed vacuum-cleaner manufacturer in the Midwest. The U.S. Department of Defense did not respond to requests for comment about the incident.[...]
The next year, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) broke up a distribution network for counterfeit Cisco Systems routers, seizing $3.5 million worth of components. According to a leaked FBI presentation on its Cisco Raider operation, fake Cisco routers, switches and cards were sold to the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Federal Aviation Administration, and even the FBI itself.

Chinese spy stole Ford trade secrets
A former Ford employee, Xiang Dong Yu, has been charged< with theft of trade secrets and unauthorized access to a protected computer. Yu had apparently stolen documents detailing system design specifications for engine/transmission mounting subsystem, electrical distribution system, electric power supply, electrical subsystem and generic body module.
From Detroit News
Xiang Dong Yu, also known as Mike Yu, 47, of Beijing, China, was arrested on Wednesday at Chicago O'Hare International Airport when he tried to re-enter the country from China. He has been charged with theft of trade secrets, attempted theft of trade secrets and unauthorized access to a protected computer, according to U.S. Attorney Terrence Berg.
According to the indictment, Yu was a product engineer for Ford from 1997 to 2007 and had access to Ford trade secrets. Law enforcement officials say that just prior to leaving Ford, Yu copied approximately 4,000 Ford documents, including what they described as "sensitive Ford design documents" onto a portable hard drive.
"Included in those documents were system design specifications for the engine/transmission mounting subsystem, electrical distribution system, electric power supply, electrical subsystem and generic body module, among others," the Justice Department said in a statement released this afternoon. "The indictment also alleges that Yu took Ford design documents to China in July 2005 in conjunction with his efforts to obtain employment with a Chinese automotive company. Lastly, the indictment alleges that Yu used stolen Ford documents in an effort to secure employment with a Chinese automotive company in 2008."

Chinese cyberspies suspected of hacking into top secret defense project
US officials have revealed that hackers were able to breach Joint Strike Fighter program and steal sensitive top secret information. The stolen information could be used by foreign powers in order to better defend against the F-35. The cyberattack is suspected of originating from China, but Chinese officials deny the accusations.
The past several years has seen a broad and systematic attack on the US cyber infrastructure, especially from the Chinese. Recently it was revealed that hackers from China and other nations have penetrated the US electrical grid and left software that can disrupt the system. Also, just last week it was reported that Chinese counterfeit chips were installed in US military aircraft. Yahoo! Tech
Computer spies have repeatedly breached the Pentagon's costliest weapons program, the $300 billion Joint Strike Fighter project, The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
The newspaper quoted current and former government officials familiar with the matter as saying the intruders were able to copy and siphon data related to design and electronics systems, making it potentially easier to defend against the plane.[...]
The identity of the attackers and the amount of damage to the project could not be established, the paper said.
The Journal quoted former U.S. officials as saying the attacks seemed to have originated in China, although it noted it was difficult to determine the origin because of the ease of hiding identities online.

Chinese spies may have put chips in US Air Force planes
It has been revealed that counterfeit computer chips, made in China, have been installed in US fighter planes. WTF!?!?!?!! If true, this would be the most serious breach of military security. Why are there foreign parts being installed in our Fight aircraft?
Picture this: China invades Taiwan and we scramble our jets to protect the tiny island nation. But Chinese hackers simply deactivate the chips inside our Jets and all of sudden the Jet is uncontrollable and they crash into the China Sea.
This is what you get when you start outsourcing jobs to China. At the current rate, we won't be able to build our military craft ourselves in 20 years time. Maybe we'll have the Chinese build our jets and tanks, all equipped with Chinese chips of course. Times of India
WASHINGTON: The Chinese cyber spies have penetrated so deep into the US system — ranging from its secure defence network, banking system,Thanks Gateway Pundit for the link and welcome Gateway Pundit readers.
electricity grid to putting spy chips into its defence planes — that it can cause serious damage to the US any time, a top US official on counter-intelligence has said.[...]
Listing out some of the examples of Chinese cyber spy penetration, he said: “We’re also seeing counterfeit routers and chips, and some of those chips have made their way into US military fighter aircraft.. You don’t sneak counterfeit chips into another nation’s aircraft to steal data. When it’s done intentionally, it’s done to degrade systems, or to have the ability to do so at a time of one’s choosing.”

Taliban kill 'spies' over US missile strike
Apparently one of the 5 people that the taliban killed planted a homing device in the house which was hit by a HellFire missile back in January. It gives me hope that not everyone in that area wants to live under taliban rule. BBChe Taleban in Pakistan have killed five men after a "trial" found them guilty of providing information that led to a top al-Qaeda leader's death.
Abu Laith al-Libi was killed along with 11 others in a suspected US missile strike on 19 January in Pakistan's tribal region of North Waziristan.
The US has targeted Pakistan's tribal areas, said to be a safe haven for the Taleban and al-Qaeda, with missiles.
The Taleban say the US is aided by the Pakistan government and local "spies".

British soldier accused of spying for Iran
British soldier, who served in Afghanistan, is accused of spying for Iran by passing along coded messages to the Iranian military attache in Kabul. With spies there are only two things you can do with 'em: prisoner swap for your spies captured by the enemy or execute them. GuardianA soldier accused of spying for Iran while serving in Afghanistan was acting strangely by taking photos of Tony Blair while he was on a visit to the country, a court heard today.
And no one bothered to ask him what he was doing there?
Corporal Daniel James, 45, worked as an interpreter for General David Richards, the head of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, and is alleged to have been passing coded messages to the Iranian military attache in Kabul after being called up as a Territorial Army reservist in 2006.
The Old Bailey heard that James, an Iranian-born salsa dance instructor from Brighton, accompanied the officers who met the then prime minister's helicopter when it landed at a Kabul base, and walked alongside the group taking photographs.
Speaking via a video link from Afghanistan, sergeant Gareth Podesta, a member of Richards' close protection team, told the court it was "strange" that James was going to meet Blair's visiting party.
"He was out on the football pitch which is where the helicopters land, taking photos," Podesta said. "There was nobody else apart from the general and his close staff, and the protection team such as myself. It seemed strange why he was there."

US Prof Guilty of Giving China US Military Secrets
"The illegal export of such sensitive data represents a very real threat to our national security,
particularly when we know that foreign governments are actively seeking this information for their
military development."
Not only is China taking US jobs but they're stealing US military secrets too. Reuters
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A retired professor of electrical engineering at the University of Tennessee was convicted on Wednesday of violating U.S. arms export controls and passing sensitive data to a Chinese national, the U.S. Justice Department said.
The professor, Reese Roth, is a plasma scientist who was hired to work on a U.S. Air Force research contract by privately held firm, Atmospheric Glow Technologies Inc, of Knoxville, Tennessee.
The company pleaded guilty last month to illegally providing a Chinese national, Xin Dai, with data used in developing an unmanned aerial weapons system. Xin Dai was Roth's research assistant.
Another former Atmospheric Glow employee, Daniel Sherman, pleaded guilty in April to charges of conspiring with Roth to export the data.

Hizbollah Spy Allowed to keep Israeli Pension
Azmi Bishara, a former member of the Balad party until he resigned and fled Israel after an investigation into his role in helping Hizbollah in the 2006 war with Israel. Bishara is accused of giving Hizbollah information about strategic locations within Israel for targetting by rockets. He also gave Hizbollah information on rockets that did land to aid with the rocket's aiming. In return, Hizbollah wired large sums of money into Bishara's bank account.
On Monday the Israeli High Court of Justice rejected a petition, started by Danny Danon head the international Likud organization, asking to strip Bishara of his Israeli citizenship and pension. Haaretz
The High Court of Justice yesterday rejected a petition demanding that it strip former MK Azmi Bishara (Balad) of both his citizenship and his pension.
Bishara fled the country after police announced that he was suspected of having given information to Hezbollah before and during the Second Lebanon War in 2006. As a result, he cannot be brought to trial and still enjoys a legal presumption of innocence.In June, therefore, Danny Danon, who heads the international Likud organization, asked the court to strip Bishara of his MK's pension and his citizenship. He also asked the court to order the fugitive tried in absentia.

Pakistan Admits ISI Infested with Taliban
Update: The BBC has replaced the original link with another story about the ISI denying any links to the Kabul bombing. However, you may go to CBS to read the same story.
Pakistan has finally admitted the obvious. That the ISI is infested with taliban spies/sympathsizers. Afghanistan has been complaining for years that the ISI has been helping the taliban with training and providing information. In recent months even the US has increased pressure on Pakistan to admit that it has a problem.
A couple of months ago, Pakistani security forces were killed by a US airstrike after they and taliban terrorists attacked a FOB in Afghanistan. About a month ago, the CIA confronted the Pakistani government about the ISI's problem with taliban spies/sympathisers within it's ranks. Just the other day, the US accused the ISI of bombing the Indian consulate in Kabul.
Now that Pakistan has admitted they have a problem, they must now try to tackle it. Easier said then done. The ISI and the taliban have deep ties that go back to the taliban's creation. In fact, many say that the taliban were created by the ISI. It will be interesting to see what the Pakistani government will do in next several weeks.BBC
....
Pakistan's government has said it needs to purge Taleban sympathisers from within the ranks of the country's intelligence service - the ISI.
The statement comes amid claims from the US and India of links between the ISI and Islamic extremists.
Analysts say it is the first time that the Pakistan government has made such an admission. US officials have claimed that spies in the ISI helped plan the recent suicide attack on the Indian embassy in Kabul.
Pakistani government spokeswoman Sherry Rehman said "individuals" in the ISI were probably acting on their own and going against official policy.
She said Pakistan needed to "identify these people and weed them out".

Iranian Spy Charged In Israel
Israeli police have arrested and charged an Iranian born Israeli for passing information to Iran. BBC
....
An Iranian-born Israeli has been arrested and charged by the Israeli authorities with spying for Iran, police say.
The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, allegedly confessed to passing information to Iranian agents in Turkey while in Istanbul in 2006.
Charges were pressed behind closed doors and no other details were given.
Last year, Israel's Shin Bet security agency said it had foiled an Iranian plot to recruit Israelis as spies.Earlier this year, an Israeli army psychiatrist, David Shamir, received a five-year prison sentence for attempting to make contact with foreign powers including Iran, with a view to selling them classified defence information.
Large communities
The Iranian-Israeli charged with spying lives abroad and was arrested on 8 May by police and Shin Bet agents while visiting Israel, Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.
He told interrogators he had repeatedly visited the Iranian consulate in Istanbul and had given the Iranians names of acquaintances serving in the Israeli security forces, the spokesman said.
A court banned publication of the suspect's name or further details of the case.
