I would imagine that it very well could be ...... although that doesn't mean that it has to be ... Ok - I simply provided a workable definition of what responsibility is - probably one that most individuals could agree to. Since you saw fit to answer qualify my definition as my opinion, please...

I think that is a question each individual would have to answer for themselves. At the most basic level the definition of being responsible for something is being willing to control it. If you had it in your power to control whether a living children lived or died, would you be able to live...

Greg, In the main, no ..... There are, as there always are, individuals journalists (even in the MSM) who stand apart from the crowd, and recognize the legitimacy of others outside their own professional clique. And by and large, they're probably also the ones that haven't sold out and...

Insightful piece by Glenn Greenwald about the incestous relationship between the media and government. Click Below to Read the Rest of the Article and View the Video: The merger of journalists and government officials

We were asked by one of our "allies" (clearly only a so-called ally) to assist them in upholding the rule of law (albeit theirs), in apprehending the perpetrators of an illegal, extra-judicial killing - an assassination. It's bad enough to not uphold the principles that we claim to espouse and...

I believe it may have been exactly your thoughts (among others) that he was referring to ..... :rolleyes:

Of course the article above was foreign press so ya expect that they might be a little better than the government-bootlickin-journalists-cum-stenographers from a US news organization ..... and lo and behold we are not disappointed - the AP coverage on the same matter fails to mention the USG...

....... and the hits jus' keep on comin' ..... :rolleyes: Original Article: U.S. declined to cooperate in Dubai probe

What's good for the goose oughta be for the gander as well dontcha think ..... ;)

Yeah ..... :rolleyes: Wonder if Gibbs will be opening his steekin' pie-hole about these "abusive uses of the legal system" ....... after things are all said and done with Wikileaks, Assange, and/or Manning ..... Ya just can't make it up .... :cool:

Yup. Right, get your point. My wording was probably not as clear as it should have been - the document does not lay out an operational plan to take them out - what it does do however is suggest in what ways they could potentially be "fatally marginalized". Yup. Given the widespread need for...

Susie Q, Here's a couple of must reads related to the Lamo/Poulson circus (don't think I've already posted links to these) - they are by Glenn Greenwald and IMHO very well written and raise some interesting points and alot of questions, some of which I touched on earlier. They are in...

Yup - yeah, knew it when I posted it, no worries :D I just like the paraphrased version, since it reads a little better today than the original does - and it captures the essence of the concept.

Yeah, I figured .... that's fine - I had it comin' .... ;)

You wanna bet that that wasn't what it was all about for whoever commissioned it ? :D That "it won't make any difference" .... is that your own conclusion ...... 'cause if it was the authors, I sure didn't see it anywhere in the document. Again - your conclusion - or the authors ...

Good eye :D And my bad - poor sentence structure. What is known and indisputable is that they are both felons. Lamo is the apparent source. ;)

Ain't nothin' that gives one a finer appreciation of what something is (and what it is not) ... than to have actually been it .... :D ;)

As along as you avoid dark, lonely places where you can be jumped, you're probably ok ... ;) These fellas tend to make alot of noise and blather, but unless you put yourself where there's no one around (so the deeds be concealed and hidden), that's all it tends to be .... unless they happen...

T, Thanks for posting the links ..... interesting stuff. First thought that comes to mind after reading the charge sheet is: it seems that they really don't know what he took - other than the stuff that had already come out, or that Wikileaks claimed to possess ..... IOW, it doesn't look like...

Smiling is good .... it's an expression, that generally, I'm more likely to be wearing than a frown or anything of that nature. :D Fair enough .... Reasonable premise and I do not disagree. No, not really - at least if you are talking about the questions posed by pjjjj in the initial post...
