bombs over Baghdad

With ISIS forces nearing the Baghdad's city limits, U.S. Officials don't believe the relatively small, ill-equipped army of Islamic militants will be able to take the city by a frontal assault. Instead, they fear that ISIS will terrorize Baghdad by launching a wave of suicide bombings and possibly cutting off water and electricity to the city of 7.5 million. The strategy, according to the officials, appears aimed at demoralizing residents of the city and inciting a new wave of sectarian violence that could further undermine the ruling Shia-led Iraqi government. read more HERE.

Intelligence community warned about 'growing' ISIS threat in Iraq

The U.S. Intelligence community warned about the "growing threat" from Sunni militants in Iraq since the beginning of the year, a senior intelligence official said Tuesday -- a claim that challenges assertions by top administration officials that they were caught off guard by the capture of key Iraqi cities. Earlier Tuesday, in an interview with Fox News, Secretary of State John Kerry said "nobody expected" Iraqi security forces to be decisively driven out by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, as they were earlier this month in Mosul. But in a separate briefing with reporters Tuesday afternoon, the senior intelligence official said the intelligence community had warned about the ISIS threat. Read more HERE.

The CIA Gets Twitter

The Central Intelligence Agency gets Twitter TWTR -1.65% and by that I don’t mean it now has a handle on the site and sent out its first tweet on Friday to much acclaim. Rather, it understands that the best way to defuse the rough and tumble and usually quite vicious back-and-forth that can occur on social media is by humor. That first CIA tweet for example. It was pretty funny and resulted in quite a number of followers. “We can neither confirm nor deny that this is our first tweet.” Twenty-four hours later it has 448,000 and counting followers.

Post-Snowden

Thursday, June 5th, marked the anniversary of former intelligence agent Edward Snowden’s revelations about the NSA and how it gathers intelligence on American citizens. Snowden has been on the run ever since, making his presence known across Europe (even with his disguise attempts). Once Snowden leaked the news that the National Security Agency (NSA) has used Internet loopholes to gather information about its citizens, he may not know it, but he started a revolution. Consumers have become more cautious about how their data is being used and protected, and tech companies have become more suspicious of the government than ever. It was said, prior to the Snowden leak, that American wireless carriers AT&T and Verizon were in the federal government’s “back pocket.” Now, according to recent reports, AT&T and Verizon are making it more difficult to gain access to user data without a warrant.
