Kudos on a relatively fair and, I think, honest, assessment .... (although you and I might disagree on the "weasel" part :D) If one were to extrapolate the sheer idiocy contained the premise that because he's keeping his head down and not offering himself up as a easy target, he is therefore...

by Michael Scheuer, published in The Diplomat Michael Scheuer is a best-selling author and the former head of the CIA's Bin Laden Unit. He resigned from CIA in November 2004 after nearly two decades of experience in covert action and national security issues related to Afghanistan, South...

Greg, I think that possibly one of the worst forms of cowardice that there is, is to compromise and sacrifice one's beliefs - stuff like belief in the rule of law, the belief in the right to trial by jury of ones peers, presumption of innocence ...... all in the name of (supposed) security ...

The difficulty with your parallel is simply this: While what Baghdad Bob said was clearly an obvious lie, it isn't clear that what Assange has said is (despite your very best efforts to imply that it is - with no real evidence whatsoever I might add :rolleyes:) Some factual data to the...

Pretty funny .... gotta love it. :D Since you posted it without comment (and source attribution) I'll go on the assumption that it was largely for the inherent humor aspect ..... as opposed to any nefarious attempt of guilt by comparison ;)

No problem at all - allow me to clarify: Essentially what I was saying that you took a stand ("Controlling the outlet is NOT the answer") based on principle (ie. to follow the fundamental law of the land: The Constitution and Bill of Rights) Further, I would assume that it would be your...

Quite welcome. You clearly have something specific in mind - however I did not find it in this thread, nor do I recall it off the top of my head ..... Perhaps you can direct me to it so that I might view my statement in context ? Yup - it is a pity that the same cannot not always be said...

Fair points, all ...... ;)

LOS, I have to say that I am really not all that surprised by your position on this - as I believe you to be a man of principles. Kudos for having such principles and being willing to stand by them - even if doing so may ultimately cause certain outcomes that you feel to be dangerous and...

And neither does ours ....

Link To Original Statement: IFJ Condemns United States "Desperate and Dangerous" Backlash over WikiLeaks

That's a pretty funny statement coming from someone who recently castigated others for supposedly doing the very same thing (thinking that "the public" was stupid :rolleyes:) Can we all say: H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-S-Y See my reply above to LDB .... And then, as part of today's study assignment (BTW...

Very astute observation: wanna defeat an enemy ? Just cause them to do things which will cause them to bankrupt themselves ....

LDB, thank you for providing yet an another example of your inability to observe the obvious, and to reason. Fact is, I could really care less about the particular individual personality involved in the matter (Assange) - it's essence of the matter that interests me, not the personalities. I...

Original article: Digital McCarthyism

Who do you feel he is "working for ?" (As to myself, I have little doubt .....) More of the same old the ends justify means crapola .... The reality of the matter is this: Julian Assange has made himself a target by being the public face of Wikileaks ... my guess is that this was very much...

Over 200 mirrors up and running around the world as of 30 minutes ago. Original article: Obama should resign if approved UN spying: WikiLeaks founder

It seems you have a real fixation on manlove there LDB (even if imaginary), given the inordinate surge in your posts about it recently ... What's that all about ? Are you lonely or something ? Maybe missing your teddybear ?

Lastest Twitter Feed, 4 hours ago: "WikiLeaks strikes back. Cut us down and the stronger we become:" Twitter / Search It's interesting to watch the public reaction to the effort to suppress Wikileaks, and the info they are trying to provide ...... just purely as a social phenomena. This may...

Happy to be of service .... :D Excellent - will bookmark that one ..... I've been bypassing DNS and just going with the direct IP address .... the above will be good to know in case (when) it gets taken down ....
