Footage released of Guardian editors destroying Snowden hard drives
Found on The Guardian on Saturday, 01 February 2014
Under the watchful gaze of two technicians from the British government spy agency GCHQ, the journalists took angle-grinders and drills to the internal components, rendering them useless and the information on them obliterated.
Heywood, sent personally by David Cameron, told the editor to stop publishing articles based on leaked material from American's National Security Agency and GCHQ. At one point Heywood said: "We can do this nicely or we can go to law". He added: "A lot of people in government think you should be closed down."
Mission accomplished. This copy of the Snowden files won't be used anymore. Seriously, I hope the first thing the Guardian did after this was to sync back the data from one of the other worldwide locations. The US lapdog Cameron really needs to be replaced after this blatant attempt of intimidation and censorship of public media and journalists.
