This is what you would call "evidence feast".

Often planted evidence is made such that it raises no doubt that other party is guilty that it's also blatantly obvious that it's suspect.

What's the tripping point for me? being reported only by fox news. even in the interview quotes they say "obama administration"...

Ha! I love this! All the hackers faced with the 'register' wall. I dont consider myself a hacker, rather a game dev but I felt like a hacker just using firebug to delete the offending divs

This story seems to heavily imply that the government authorised somebody to break into the firm and steal the data relating to the whistleblower's case. That strikes me as highly unlikely. This entire story seems like the ultimate in yellow journalism. Maybe we should wait and see if the thief gets caught before we jump the gun and claim it's a conspiracy.

That strikes me as highly unlikely Chances are, it was. Just look for the agency with the most interest in their documents. Do you have a better hypothesis?

Maybe it would have been done by a group interested in having it look like the government was trying to steal data relating to this whistleblower case? Even weirder things than that have happened IRL.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Interesting that in your 123 days here, you've made a point of defending the government in almost all of your comments. What makes you so secure in your trust?

Maybe he's part of the conspiracy?

What conspiracy are you referring to?

You can also right click in Chrome or Safari and hit inspect element. It's not hard to figure out which nodes to \backspace from there.

I like $('#TB_window, #TB_overlay').hide() better :P

Why all those extra characters? :)

$('div[id^=TB_]').hide()

If you are using Safari, just hit the "Reader" button, and the story comes up above the splash screen.

This is also a good way to get around unusable "designed for iPad" interfaces when browsing on your iPad.

I am not as smart as you guys. I just added: ?page=0,0

to the end of any URL on that site. I guess I am more of a trouble shooter than a hacker. Glad to see other ways of doing the same thing.
