jacqueline.singh: hey
jacqueline.singh: you there?
me: yep
jacqueline.singh: your article in the guardian...
jacqueline.singh: it's misleading
me: how so?
jacqueline.singh: while i appreciate the point you're trying to make
jacqueline.singh: the predator malware hasn't been reporting anything out, first of all
me: I know, and that's covered
jacqueline.singh: secondly, it's not tracking the piloting of the planes
jacqueline.singh: okay lemme continue reading
me: as I note that USAF says it may just be random malware
jacqueline.singh: remember that i have the inside track on this
me: the point is that there shouldn't be random malware on drone piloting apparatus and that the shift from defense to offense
jacqueline.singh: nothing's been leaked
jacqueline.singh: furthermore the predator system is physically disconnected network-wise
jacqueline.singh: it's not even capable of transmitting information out even if it wanted to
me: that's fine, but it doesn't contradict anything I've written
jacqueline.singh: hold
jacqueline.singh: congratulatons on publishing through the Guardian btw
jacqueline.singh: it's just the first line i have an issue with
jacqueline.singh: but i guess readers can follow the link back to wired
jacqueline.singh: what happened to your twitter account?
me: what do you mean?
jacqueline.singh: i can't find it.
jacqueline.singh: eh, now that i've finished the article, i can safely say i enjoyed it
jacqueline.singh: i'm fucking tired of contractors bilking the government out of funds
jacqueline.singh: and definitely not delivering what they're paying for

jacqueline.singh: wanna break a big story? i got a good one for you
jacqueline.singh: got t

jacqueline.singh: practically everyone where i work is on drugs, fucks local african prostitutes every night of the week, and the list goes on
jacqueline.singh: half the people aren't even certified to hold the positions they hold per government reg
jacqueline.singh: or work very much
jacqueline.singh: the housing we live in costs $2k/month per person
jacqueline.singh: etc etc etc etc
jacqueline.singh: fraud, waste, abuse exemplified
jacqueline.singh: i have serious ethical problems with what's going on here
me: what country is this?
jacqueline.singh: so much that i've bought my plane ticket out of here
jacqueline.singh: listen
jacqueline.singh: i'll give you the details when i'm out
me: okay
jacqueline.singh: but i need you to stay mum on it until then
jacqueline.singh: but i can spill the beans once i'm out
jacqueline.singh: otherwise i can get seriously fucked.
me: any evidence you can acquire quietly while there, get
jacqueline.singh: oh man
jacqueline.singh: what kind of evidence would you neeD?
jacqueline.singh: documents/
me: recorded convos
jacqueline.singh: i don't know if i can do that
me: any docs, receipts
jacqueline.singh: hm
me: okay, anything you're comfortable with that would prove certain assertions
jacqueline.singh: okay
jacqueline.singh: i'll keep it in mind as i get ready to leave
jacqueline.singh: i should be out of here
jacqueline.singh: end of nov
me: as for Guardian, I've been writing for them for a year, and can have them send out journalists if something merits it
jacqueline.singh: planning on flying out nov 17th
jacqueline.singh: havent told my employer yet
jacqueline.singh: i'm trying to find the best way to alert authorities to the drug abuse
jacqueline.singh: and crazy shit going on
me: and am friends with various editors, so if there's a story here, won't be any problem getting it out
jacqueline.singh: excessive foreign contact by cleared personel
jacqueline.singh: personnel*
jacqueline.singh: etc etc etc
jacqueline.singh: okay
jacqueline.singh: keep my name OUT of anything
jacqueline.singh: i still have a livelihood to earn with my clearance
jacqueline.singh: if you can promise that then i'll talk to you about this once i'm done
jacqueline.singh: this is a HUGE govt contractor involved
me: yes, I have practice keeping people off the record
jacqueline.singh: company involved is in the top 30 of all defense contractors
jacqueline.singh: i want to blow the lid off this bullshit
jacqueline.singh: tired of seeing govt funds go to waste on these people
jacqueline.singh: they deserve better.
me: well, if you can get me details later, I can guarantee it will be investigated and revealed
me: and I can include in the book if it doesn't get sufficient coverage upon initially getting out
jacqueline.singh: i just talked to my husband about this
jacqueline.singh: he's on board
jacqueline.singh: we have been trying to think of a way to expose this without putting ourselves in the line of fire as official "whistleblowers"
jacqueline.singh: because we all know what happens to those.
me: one thing you might do is start keeping specific notes on details lest you forget them. to the extent that contact info for others involved, names, might be harder to get once home, get them now
jacqueline.singh: will do
jacqueline.singh: thanks.
jacqueline.singh: i'll be in touch around the beginning of december with everything i have.
me: thank you, you're doing the right thing
