I'm not defending it. Everyone involved who knew the full extent of what was going on should be prosecuted and those who covered it up without knowing all the details should be fired. But what part of this case makes you think anyone deserves to die for it?And aren't you against the death penalty anyway?[Edited on December 24, 2010 at 11:50 AM. Reason : ]

Nevermind that the only reason this is a story is because it is an anomaly that most Americans agree is inconsistent with our values. Whereas, if this were to happen in China, it wouldn't just be seen as ordinary; it would probably be held up as a sign of their mellowing out.But hey, no one accuses today's fringe lefties of not making a living off drawing asinine moral equivalencies.

if would wold be so kind to go through and show how each of those things shows how our government is corrupt (and who is corrupt would be a nice addition)

Its size alone shows that our government is corrupt and perverse in nature. No further proof is necessary, but much more is available. May it all crumble soon.

Notably the BBG (Broadcasting Board of Governors) is diligent in keeping the government's rather bland and factually-based propaganda (a.k.a. the VOA) away from its own citizens, but back in the Bush Administration considerably less care was taken with the prepackaged "news stories" (a.k.a. pro-administration propaganda) sold to news stations with no indication that they had been created by the government: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/01/politics/01educ.html?_r=1&pagewanted=alljust in case you needed a reminder of how evil ol' Gee Dubya Bastard was

I see plenty things wrong with that list. The Afghan government is corrupt, this is not a new or startling secret. They have been since day 1, this is why we're having such a hard time pulling out in an effective manner.

I wish I could say I was surprised that the vast majority of the populace is so distracted by Assange's character. It is amazing how easily you all are distracted.

^^ Prior to the main invasion of Afghanistan, the US (using the CIA's SAD (zomg their secret army) and SPECFOR) went in to help the Northern Alliance. They, along with Iranian forces, were responsible for the liberation of Herat.For someone who is so criticizing, you should be more caught up rather than re-posting the info you've been spoon fed.[Edited on December 28, 2010 at 10:02 AM.

He's using funds raised from his book to defend himself from that alleged crime. (happy?)
12/28/2010 10:38:30 AM
What is wrong with that?
12/28/2010 10:39:31 AM
My question about his reasoning for penning the book deal is this: Why hasn't he been suitcasing money away for his legal fund since he got his hands on the leaks and decided to go public? It would be incredibly naive (or stupid) to think that he wouldn't find himself in legal trouble, whether justified or otherwise, as a result of being the whistleblower.
12/28/2010 10:41:51 AM
It's hilarious, he's benefiting from the release of classified documents to defend himself for sex crimes.
12/28/2010 10:42:06 AM
Unsubstantiated sex crimes which are likely being blown up as an attempt to discredit him and his organization. Give me a break. If it were Bill O'Reilly, you wouldn't be laughing. In fact, a couple years ago, it WAS Bill O'Reilly, and he ACTUALLY sexually harassed a woman. He still has a TV show and is well-loved by conservatives.

Oh noes not my lord and savior Papa Bear O'Reillyl!!!!Oh wait, I hate fox news too. How do you know they're unsubstantiated btw?
12/28/2010 11:38:40 AM
Well given the fact that the girl he supposedly attacked decided to throw a party in his honor the day after the supposed attack certainly makes it a little suspect. Just a little though...

Out of curiosity, lets assume you're 100% right. The Iraqi army condones and routinely practices harsh imprisonment and torture. What would you like the US to do? Iraqi is now a sovereign nation again, should we re-invade them? Just stay in Iraq forever and take over their government? Punish them? Bring them all back to the US for a nice cozy trial? Seriously adder, you are now President of the US, what do you do?
