Julian Assange To Run For Australian Senate
New submitter bozman8 writes "Announced recently on social networking platform Twitter, Julian Assange has found a way to run for the Upper House of the Australian Senate, despite being detained under house arrest in Britain. Along with Julian's candidacy, WikiLeaks has announced that they are going to run a nominee against current Prime Minister Julia Gillard in her local electorate."
By flat-out evil you mean things like... Leaders from other countries acting like spoiled brats when a camera is not in front of them with. Or in a war that innocent people die and the government doesn't want to release the official numbers and the names of the troops who are still in harms way? Kinda evil.
You must live in Lollipop Land if you conseder that Flat-out-evil.
I am sorry the real world people are jerks, they are not evil just self entitled. And people die in war, when you have a war with a terrorist organization the line between civilian and insurgent is thin mistakes are made. The stuff that Wikileaks released anyone with a half a mind knew it was going on anyways. All he did was put troops in danger.
Hey that can be his headline. Vote for me, I'll put our allied troops in danger just because I don't like war.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.

Upward mobility is a slippery slope - the higher you climb the more you show your ass.
White phosphorus is not listed in the schedules of the Chemical Weapons Convention. It can be legally used as a flare to illuminate the battlefield, or to produce smoke to hide troop movements from the enemy. Like other unlisted substances, it may be deployed for "Military purposes... not dependent on the use of the toxic properties of chemicals as a method of warfare". But it becomes a chemical weapon as soon as it is used directly against people. A chemical weapon can be "any chemical which through its chemical action on life processes can cause death, temporary incapacitation or permanent harm".
WP can burn (as in "cause chemical burns").
