    An attention whore who gets said attention by exposing the flat-out evil things all of our governments do on a near-daily basis.

    At least he does something for society compared to any of those reality show retards.

    Whistleblowers and muckrakers shouldn't be a part of the government.

    Neither should liars and assholes. But guess what?

    Yeah! right! And you are also confused about the drones in pakistan, when they crash a terrorist wedding (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone_attacks_in_Pakistan). But good thing that the U.S could make us those magic drones, somehow, whoever those drones kill, they magically become terrorists post mortem. So, these drones are only used for antiterrorist purposes!
