Yes, the media showed how misrepresenting operational details can change public opinion.
Ask any North Vietnamese Army officer if he thought the North was defeated after Tet '68 and he will say yes.
If the media in the US hadn't spun that as a defeat, Johnson could have pushed the North to the peace talks in 1968 and we could have hammered out a peace then. Saving hundreds of thousands of lives and kept Cambodia from being destabilized by the war.
But people spun the operational details and leaked documents, it paralyzed the United States at that national political level and ultimately lead to the defeat of the South, the deaths of thousands and a terrible refuge problems.
If they'd redacted the operational intelligence from the documents, the who and where, especially in regards to informants and collaborators, I'd be 95% in favor of the leaks.
They are focusing on the US and the Global War on Terror, there are no thousand page releases from the Sudan, Congo, Burma, Russia, Iran, North Korea, the Palestinian Authority, Saudi Arabia, Turkey or even Israel.
It's mostly focused on the US and to a lesser extent on some corporations.
I'd love to see what happened if they leaked 15,000 documents on Israeli operations in the West Bank or posted data on Israeli positions in the Golan.
Japan has a military, a very good and well equipped military with one of the biggest defense budgets in the world.
Japan has F-15s, wants F-22s, has ballistic missile defense, advanced tanks, Apache gunships and the JMSDF has even gone back to the Naval Ensign of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
Being a state of the United States doesn't mean a state has to give more in taxes more than it receives in Federal dollars and it doesn't mean that a state which receives more than it pays in taxes should be kicked out of the Union.
Besides, "it consumes far more federal money than it provides" is from the Federal Government putting five major military bases in Alaska (Elmendorf, Eielson, Wainwright, Richardson, Greely), as well as the high number of Alaska natives and American Indians in the state receiving tons of dollars for the Federal Government.
The fact that you don't understand the strategic and economic benefits of Alaska to the United States is fine.
Two years ago. A year ago he was in court having the conviction over turned and charges dropped because the prosecution hid evidence and the prime prosecution witness lied on the stand.
I'm not a GCI shareholder, so I really don't care what GCI does with GCI property.
I did get a job there but found a better one before I started working.
If the state of their call center was any indication, they are a pretty lax company when it comes to personal things on company time. Alot of WoW and MW going on as people were taking calls.
It was just rebuild with a new turbine in 2005 from records I've seen today. 1957 isn't that old for a well maintained aircraft, especially one with a new engine.

You didn't hear? Iraq has a government and a military. The Iraqi military wants the US to stay to at least 2020.
Afghanistan has a government and a military too.
Where is the US illegally occupying?
The elected representatives are elected to be our representatives so they can know for us.
It's not a direct democracy.

No, really they don't have a right to know about the operational details of the war until it is over.
That's not a new stance, it's pretty much how operational security in a theatre of war has happened for a couple thousand years.
Julian Assange is acting a spy really, getting stolen documents about operations and publishing them.
I'll defer to your experience, since I've not spent enough time on /b for the goat p0rn, but you seem to have.
The Pentagon Papers were not leaked the same way. Daniel Ellsberg worked on it and knew people who worked on the project the entire time.
Bradley Manning stole documents, passed them on to wikileaks who then published them.
Senators vote on the guilt.

Neither China nor India are all that good at prosecuting a war. The return on investment wouldn't be worth it.
Wikileaks is leaking stolen documents, its no more journalistic than someone posting p0rn to /b

The good/great ballistics apps are on iOS, so I reckon it has the general edge.

There are a couple for Android, but they aren't as good as iOS has.
FBI doesn't pursue rapists unless it happens on Federal land or Indian Reservation.

I've had 38. They always sucked.
Two hours?
When I had spinal taps for chemo, it was a half hour if I didn't have MP-6 or Methotrexate and 90 minutes if I had.
I've had 38 spinal taps, 36 of them under local, and everyone was a terrible experience.
Wait for a test that doesn't require the tap.
I'm in Alaska, we still have to worry about natural predators.
The article's title and description refers to polar, so no where is it north-centric.
Even the UAF site has a map for the Southern Hemisphere.
Not from Anchorage, it's cloudy here today. If it was clear, I'd go to Eagle River Nature Center or Earthquake Park here in Anchorage.
