Former spook warns of Snowden retribution

The former director of the National Security Agency and the CIA speculated that it is probably not worth the agro to arrest whistleblower Edward Snowden. Michael Hayden, who from 1999 to 2009 ran the NSA and then the CIA said that the arrest of Snowden would motivate hackers and transparency groups to large scale cyber-terror attacks.

He said that the attacks will be carried out by "nihilists, anarchists, activists, Lulzsec, Anonymous, twentysomethings who haven't talked to the opposite sex in five or six years".

While they might want to take down the US government, they would find that the dot-mil stuff is about the hardest target. So the hackers will go the World Trade Centres just like al-Qaida. Hayden was the bloke who was innone.

For example, in 2014, a two-year old girl from Longmont, Colorado was sent to the hospital after accidentally eating a marijuana cookie she found in front of her apartment building.

The Campaign for a Safe and Healthy Massachusetts represents a growing coalition of health care and community leaders, anti-addiction advocates, educators, business groups, first responders, and families who are opposing this proposed legalization of the commercial marijuana industry in Massachusetts.

Among the groups that have already come out in opposition to this initiative include: the Massachusetts Hospital Association, the Massachusetts Medical Society, the Associated Industries of Massachusetts, the Retailers Association of Massachusetts, Association of School Superintendents, the Association for Behavioral Healthcare, the National Association of Mental Illness (Massachusetts Chapter), the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police, and all Massachusetts District Attorneys.
