US Congressman Announces Plans To Probe Wikileaks
eldavojohn writes "Congressman Peter King (R-NY) is calling for a probe into Wikileaks with regard to the recent publication of half a million 9/11 pager messages. He has announced that he plans to have his Washington staff begin a preliminary investigation because Wikileaks' action 'raises security issues.' A word of caution: Congressman King has been known to make inflammatory and unpopular statements."
"They should probe their own priest-penetrated asses with their crucifixes and rosaries and hypocritical dark-age censorship"
Fixed.
This for bastard admins who are fat and have no life.

Folks, do NOT mod posts like this and it's parent up. Neither are interesting nor give insight.
So in other words, Congressman King is a supporter of a known terrorist organization (the IRA). So why isn't he in Gitmo instead of in Congress? Oh, right. He was supporting a Christian terrorist organization, not a Muslim one.
That said, your last line is an uncalled-for expression of bigotry against all Irish Catholics (to be clear, I'm neither Irish nor Catholic). Among other things, those most sympathetic to radical Christianity in the US tend to be Protestant fundamentalists, whereas the modern-day Catholic Church (particularly when John Paul II was in charge) is a lot more friendly towards non-Christian faiths.

If he's so fond of probes, let him go visit area 51, and bend over in front of some aliens...

Typical classist/racist, masquerading as a "progressive." It's the knee-jerk anti-religion fundies such as you who empower King, not his "blue collar" base.
Keep up the good work.
Left out the "his" between as and statement. posting to correct.
Blatant trolling. I'm not religious, but Mods, hello?
Neither are interesting nor give insight.
While yours apparently is.
Who cares about mod points anyway - the modding system is for sheep. Reading at -1 makes for a far more interesting slashdot, even if you have to put up with the occasional GNAA or goatse crap. You can all play your little "karma" game. I'll decide for myself what's worth reading.

So has kdawson. Why even mention it?
+1 for reading at -1.
Mod parent up!!!111!!
GNAA, goatse, cool4sale!!!1!one
you do realize that using racial slurs makes you just as bad as what you are complaining about, right?
intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it

Says who? I guess posting anonymously didn't give you the hint that I don't care about ratings or karma.
Who cares about mod points anyway
No one cares, but those who lurk slashdot have no choice in the matter. You may decide to read every post, but I'd prefer to cut through the crap. I have better things to do than to spend any more time than I do on
While I don't disagree he's a bigot, you do realize that your post is just as bigotted as statement, right?
Considering the subject line of his post, I can assure you that he's aware of it and that it was fully intentional.
This guy's the limit!

I always find this funny when people from the US moan about other countries supporting terrorists or allowing terrorist groups to fund raise. For many years the IRA raised funds in the states and it was only when Clinton came into power that he put a stop to this.
I honestly believe that him clamping down on IRA fund-raising (and Armalite buying) in the US was a major factor in encouraging the IRA to sit down around the table and move away from just being terrorists and take the political process seriously.
I dont read
You aren't allowed to have a gun in a bar. At least not in Florida. Generally speaking, you aren't allowed to be drunk and carrying a weapon either, even if you have a CCW.
You're not allowed to drive drunk either, but it still happens. I pose that it's less likely for a drunk to have gun, if the person didn't have the gun with them before they had one too many.
Now excuse me, I need to get back to making reloads and cleaning my AR-15 as their is a match this weekend :)
Real men show how virile they are with a mini gun. (Which I must admit, looks pretty damn fun.) ;)
