Pentagon Seeking Out Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange

Posted by timothy on from the just-a-few-words dept.

clustro writes "The Pentagon is desperately seeking the 'cooperation' of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, in order to stop him from releasing over 250,000 pages of confidential foreign policy documents. The documents were allegedly provided to Assange by Bradley Manning, the same solider who leaked a video showing a US Army helicopter killing unarmed civilians and international press correspondents."

    treason (plural treasons)
    noun
    Definition:
    1. betrayal of country: a violation of the allegiance owed by somebody to his or her own country, e.g. by aiding an enemy.
    2. treachery: betrayal or disloyalty
    3. act of betrayal: an act of betrayal or disloyalty.

    First, his country is not the US. Therefore:
    Second, he isn't disloyal to it, because he owes it no loyalty; and
    Third, doesn't apply either.

    OTOH, those of us who are citizens of the US, we find his info very interesting and relevant to what politicians we might support in the future.

    I hate to rain on your parade, but who cares? Why not open an investigation on Nixon again? Or how about Jimmy Carter? He admitted lusting in his heart, maybe it was about an under-aged person of either sex? Maybe we can dig up Reagan and ask him about Iran-Contra? Or check with Clinton again, and see what else he lied about, after all, he is a liar right? And while we are at it, let;s check his wife also. Hillary did not even perceive her own husband was banging an intern in their house, but now she is out there negotiating with world leaders on our behalf? Who was the idiot that picked that moron to represent us and our interests? What's that you say? Barak Obama? Let's investigate him also. In fact, I want to know what you know about all of this, you seem a little too interested...
