Hooray valuable contribution! See was that so hard?

What HM said..

You seem to take the stance that America is alone in these kinds of foreign policy actions, as such should be made example of. Anyone who isn't "retarded" would know that every government on the planet with foreign interests has back channels and more dirty ways of discussing and getting things done than the average Joe knows or cares about. Canada included my friend. Sorry.

You mention Canada as if i hold some kind of pride in nation.
I hold no ego, no pride in race, nation or species.

Bullitt · 12-10-2010, 02:13 PM

Good for you. That wasn't the point.

skysidhe · 12-10-2010, 02:27 PM

Didn't wikileak Canada as our close ally?

Assange begins with Ass.

Before you start screaming about what idiots are saying in a thread, you might want to read what those 'idiots' have actually posted.

I bet he will have plenty of time to think about that thought.

State Department Warns Students Not To Cite WikiLeaks On Facebook

I noticed today that the Washington Post is referring to WikiLeaks as "anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks."

The Post seems to not want to extend the label of "press" to WikiLeaks.

TheMercenary · 12-12-2010, 12:28 PM

And they should not do so.

Flint, I believe that warning was withdrawn within a day or two afterwards.
(I'm pretty sure I posted the retraction here, but I haven't found it again today... I'll keep looking)

Even if it were not withdrawn, how do you feel about it "
Is it acceptable for an official would make such a directive as the voice of the government ?

I guess I did not post the retraction, but here is the link to it

Officials at Columbia have argued they are merely passing on relevant information, while

the State Department has denied any federal involvement in the school's guidance.

Would you not also be tempted to break your oath holding this kind of info?

That is not the point. If you are going to break the law based on ideological disagreements you have to accept the consequences of your action. You can't let someone off the hook just because you personally agree with their intent.

I never said anything about letting him off the hook.
I'm just saying, the guy sacrificed his freedom so that you can see what he could see....the least you could do is look at it.

I did not find anything real surprising from wikileaks.

neither did i... most Americans that looked found out a lot.
Those who haven't truly looked are either well clouded by the media influence around the topic, or they're too afraid to look, as they face a demolishing of their core beliefs in their nation.
Most American's are happy to be proud.

Why would you support people who obtained stolen classified material from our country? Assange is an accessory to a crime and should be treated as such. Wikileaks is not a news organization and should not be afforded any such protections. I am quite happy to see him in jail, regardless of whether or not wikileaks continues to release stolen classified information. And I would fully support the arrest and detention of any person or persons who pass on such information to the general public.
