At the risk of overstating the obvious... "The American public is highly critical of the recent release of confidential U.S. diplomatic cables on the WikiLeaks Web site and would support the arrest of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange by U.S. authorities, a new Washington Post-ABC News poll...

For cryin' out loud dude, it's not like you're making an argument before the Supreme Court. You're kidding me - right? As though that would actually be worth anything? After reviewing what I actually said, it was no doubt obvious that you flagrantly misrepresented what I actually said. Granted...

I'd say that question was answered on Nov 2d.

Of course you'll ignore it, because it offers a contrary opinion and comes to a conclusion that's different from yours. Yep - this is what I get for purging cookies and then coming on this website without logging in: lo and behold, the first thing I see is one of your unsubstantiated ad hominem...

OK, I'll go along with all of the above. But since we've drifted onto this tangent, here's a little more to add to the Troll Education of those (including myself) who are less internet savvy. "There are a number of different types of trolls. In the most classic case, a troll harasses an...

I've had US Cellular for years and I'll have to say, their coverage is outstanding. It doesn't matter whether it's Nogales, AZ, NYC, Tampa, FL or Hazard, KY the signal is still there. The only dead zones I've noticed are a couple of spots - one near Piedmont, AL and the other in the NC...

Good idea - let's do that. (emphasis mine) "In an October analysis of earlier WikiLeaks disclosures, the Congressional Research Service reported that "it seems that there is ample statutory authority for prosecuting individuals who elicit or disseminate the types of documents at issue, as...

Yeah - we wouldn't want that to happen, would we? It's been almost 30 hours and we're still waiting. It took me about 60 seconds to find the thread you're probably talking about - now it's up to you to post the quote to which you refer - IN CONTEXT I might add. No - YOU can help in this matter...

Correct - but by definition, isn't that what trolls do?

"In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal...

If you're going to make that assertion, than it would only be fair to at least link to the post to which you refer lest someone think that you're making an unfounded or unsubstantiated claim.

OK, here's the whole article so everybody can read it without having to click the mouse a couple of extra times: Dianne Feinstein: Prosecute Assange Under the Espionage Act - WSJ.com This article makes the case against Assange and WikiLeaks better than anything I've seen so far. Finally, for...

If this point of view doesn't illustrate my point about liberals not getting it, nothing ever will; and Cheri is the most reasonable liberal on the site. But before we paint all liberals with a broad brush, let's take a look at this outstanding article from yesterday's Wall Street Journal. I'm...

Well, that's a start. He probably got to the point where he thought he was safer in jail than on the outside.

Regarding the subject matter of this thread's title - I think it would be a great idea if the students could examine the WikiLeaks subject matter, considering that it's all public information now. However, the only way it would be a truly productive learning experience for the kids at CU is for...

Now here's an interesting proposition from an article in the Washington Times (that's probably being discussed by more than one country right now), which addresses the harsh realities and consequences of Assange's actions: "...Officials in autocratic and Islamist states often risk their lives...

If BHO actually did approve spying on the UN, it would be one of the few things he's done right while in office. Somebody had better be keeping an eye that bunch of crooked potentates and banana republic dictators - one of the few advantages to having their headquarters in our country is that it...

The airport screenings, privacy intrusions, etc are not attacks - they're consequences. But let's get back to the subject matter of this thread - the notion that some writer for Slate.com thinks Assange deserves a medal. This should come as no surprise from some liberal that neither understands...

Yep - Time Magazine is right in there with the other bastions of print media: "Some of the well-known titles with dramatic single-copy declines included W, down 41.7 percent to about 25,000 for an average issue; Newsweek, down 41.3 percent to about 62,000 (Newsweek had decreased the number of...

Most of those to which LOS referred probably don't wish for US citizens to lose their lives - they probably just don't understand the consequences that can result from this breach of security, and that serious loss of life can be one of those consequences.
