A website for the U.S. Marine Corps was hacked today with a posting attributed to the “Syrian Electronic Army” that criticized President Barack Obama and called American soldiers brothers of the Syrian army.The posting said marines should be allies with forces fighting for Syria and showed five people dressed in army fatigues holding signs that said they wouldn’t fight for al-Qaeda.“Obama is a traitor who wants to put your lives in danger to rescue al-Qaeda insurgents,” according to the posting on marines.com. “Marines, please take a look at what your comrades think about Obama’s alliance with al-Qaeda against Syria.”
will the right wing go half cocked and try to make gold out of this already rebuked story, never stopped them before. this would fit nicely among their other jumping the gun antics.
The message has now been removed and the website has returned to normal. The hack follows those on the Twitter Inc. accounts of the New York Times, Financial Times and ITV Plc by a group using the Syrian Electronic Army name.Syrian rebels today urged President Bashar al-Assad’s officers to defect, seeking to swing momentum in the country’s civil war during a lull created by Obama’s decision to consult Congress on military strikes. Obama’s top aides have embarked on a campaign to win support for an attack on Syria.
this is like right wing propaganda you throw it out there and though it is rebuked many have seen it and not the rebuttal, mission accomplished.
