"Only military strategies and tactics during actual wartime should be kept secret."
Ok...so now this little puke who is in the military and who already stole these documents disagrees and leaks military strategies and tactics to wikileaks, who then publishes it.
But that's OK, since wikileaks is a fine and outstanding idea and it's this guy's duty to leak information he feels is in violation of the law.
So I should be able to see your tax returns eh? How about any sealed court records you may have.
The people do have a right to investigate every single aspect of the government. Using representatives they elect. Not by just deciding to release information.
But then you just stepped around my point and got all pissed about being called an idiot. You are saying that the government should have absolutely no secrets of any kind? Because unless you are saying that, then you are just wasting bandwidth.
So what secrets do you think the State should be able to keep?
Never mind, it doesn't matter what you think because someone else will disagree with you and leak them anyway.
See, that's the problem. When everyone considers themselves the ultimate arbiter of what should be secret and not secret, there are no secrets. And only an idiot would say the Government should not have anything that is kept secret.
While a tenuous, but vaguely plausible argument could be made to support the deliberate leaking of classified documents (which I would strenuously argue against) for some supposed greater good, any and all justification is rendered inoperative with the news that Mr. Assange has over 250,000 documents.
These documents were not gathered in an effort to expose some supposed wrong doing, indeed, Mr. Assange is probably clueless as to what is in these stolen documents. There is only one possible reason to release these documents and that is to produce chaos and discord among the diplomatic corps of many nations. It would serve no purpose except to satisfy the perverted sense of satisfaction for anarchists and others who, while living under the protection of and benefiting from the order and structure of governments, nonetheless have an irrational hatred of them.
Mr. Assange has now set himself up as a one man version of the Committee on Government Oversight and Reform and The Public Interest Declassification Board and numerous other organizations who decide what should be release and what should remain classified.
No good can come from this and the only people who would want it are the Molotov Cocktail throwing, window smashing, car burning lunatics and thugs we see at G7 conferences and other international gatherings.
When Science says" According to our measurements and our current understanding of the process, the world seems to be warming and we seem to be responsible. And BTW, here is all of our data, how we measured it, modified it and interpreted it."
That is science.
When Science says "The world is warming and we are responsible, so you have to pay more taxes, reduce your consumption (unless you are really rich, like Al Gore or are part of the Government). Also, don't ask us how we determined this because we can't give you the data (Can't be bothered, we lost it, you wouldn't understand it, you might find something wrong with it). So just accept it and if you question us, you are a nut, a kook, and are morally equivalent to Nazi's who claim the Holocaust never took place."
Well, that may not be a religion, but it sure as hell is not Science.

-1 mods...seems Achmedhas mod points.
Silence....or I'll KEElll You!
So now we develop the mineral riches of yet another vicious, backwards, barbaric culture.
Truth Hurts eh mods?

Seems the Sat. Morning cartoons are over and all the kiddos are out using their mod points.
Are you the guy who bought out my entire supply of Tin Foil hats?
Thanks man! I was able to put in a pool with that money!
Say, if you are interested, I have some real video footage of aliens from Area 51.
"Loyalties: The World"
Which means no one or just to himself.

If Idiocy were a form of energy, surely these Anti-nuclear environmentalists could power the world for centuries.
I'm sure many here will consider you a racists for harboring these views.
I didn't mean to imply any kind of casual relationship between to.
1. Creating cool programs
2. Get girls
3. Make money
4. Get more girls
I suspect there will probably be a 1 hard on ordering system for porn.
And in the case, the "Administrators" are for all practical matters, the Government.
And to make matters worse, the REAL administrators are the bureaucrats. It's fairly easy to fire your government, but the bureaucrats remain forever.
OK, who has the wall charger? What? You left it at home?
Too bad she didn't die. It would have contributed to the health of the gene pool.
Would Slashdot have the balls to post an picture of Mohammed ?
Probably not.
... if they banned cell phones. I made it through the first 35 years of life without one and I can make the rest of the way without one.
yeah... looked for the phrase. And that link didn't say anything about religion.
I think Religion burned people rather than hung them. And that hasn't happened in forever.
Google says: Information No results found for "lynchings due to religion".
"I'm not interested in moral values, to each his own."
You are aware the murder, rape, theft, among other things are "moral values".
Most atrocities have been perfectly legal under the laws of the nation perpetrating them. But, to each his own.
Put another way, Science should shut the fuck up about Religion and Religion should shut the fuck up about Science.
