Absolutely true - and a very good point - there is no argument from this quarter on your application of it. That's true - however, roughly around the time of Pitt's quote, there was the matter of the Barbary Pirates - the Islamofacists of their day - perhaps there is something there to be...

I can assure you: you know not of what you speak ....... No argument there .... Yeah ......

Interpol and the Nazi Party

I think that was Bush, not Barry :p ...... though who knows - mebbe on vacating, Shrub left him the playbook .... Yeah ..... what I'm really surprised about is that no one has yet commented (did I miss it ?) on the recent Executive Order he signed regarding Interpol (an organization, that has a...

"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is argument of tyrants. It is the creed of slaves." ...... William Pitt in the House of Commons November 18, 1783

You bet they ain't - research this one: Vince Foster's death, the FBI, and reluctant witness, but dutiful citizen: Patrick Knowlton

Well, part of my contribution is to refute those who lamely attempt to maintain that citizens of a free society such as ours have no right, nor a need to know, the acts done in their name - or, by inference, to hold those accountable who would commit those acts. Beyond that, you don't have a...

I haven't plagiarized the thoughts of anyone - in fact, I believe what I have done is quoted and then correctly attributed the words to those that spoke them. Perhaps you need to review the definition of the word plagiarize, so that you actually understand what it means. That I happen to agree...

No - I won't lighten up - it ain't gonna happen. I consider that the matters which we are discussing here are deadly serious - they go to the future of my country, our republic - and whether will we remain free men, or just merely the subjects of a police state. Well, I don't know wimpy007 -...

Such a statement is utterly arrogant almost beyond belief, and I would expect it more from some apparatchik in the Soviet Union, than I would from someone who has laid claim to be a public servant of the American people. Such a view stands in stark contrast to held by the very people who...

Whatever ..... it's really irrelevant and not much germane to the discussion at hand. The point I was making was that his duties were that of an analyst, and not what the general populace (erroneously) thinks of as an intelligence agent, or a US national who is a covert operative.

[Mercenaries] "..... are useless and dangerous ..... and bring nothing but loss ..... Experience has shown that only princes and republics are achieve solid success." Niccolò Machiavelli

Oh - I certainly am. But before you call me on the carpet on that one, you might to take a look in a couple of other threads where I posed questions directly to you and you were non-responsive. It's easy enough - but isn't really relevant - and it's a strawman. I would submit to you that much...

That's an assumption on your part - at least if your comment is directed at me. You don't know jack about me. Well, they clearly aren't (and I have said so on more than one occasion I believe) - as evidenced by my bringing up Michael Scheuer (as but one example) - a 22 veteran of the CIA...

Really ? Why - because I am against immorality and criminality - even when it practiced in the nation's and my name ? Is that the problem ? Well, if I told you, I'd have to ..... Seriously, are you saying that the only way to have knowledge of something is in the first hand ? In the...

Well ..... ya never know ..... :rolleyes: Of course, had LOS bothered to read what was contained in the link, indeed - even what I wrote in post - he would know exactly who wrote it. But I got an idea the seething rage got the better of him. Yeah ..... and there is no shortage of it. Of...

Some of them absolutely deserve it. In fact, in some instances, I would agree with the sentiments expressed in Steve Kangas "Timeline" webpage: "The CIA should be abolished, its leadership dismissed and its relevant members tried for crimes against humanity. Our intelligence community should...

Yeah ...... well ..... if you think what OVM said was "kinda not nice", you really ain't gonna be happy with what I got to say .... :cool: The truth is, there are many "kinda not nice" facts out there - that they are not nice, has no bearing on their truth. You have no real way to know...

The real question is: when haven't we ?

Oh yeah - having changed all 5 of mine myself, I can absolutely see it. I had one that was very much dicey ...... you know: you're running it out and you get the big squeak .... I can't definitively answer what all it might do - but this I know: When a glowplug shorts to ground it will...
