  1. Re:attorneys on Assange Could Face Execution Or Guantanamo Bay · · Score: 5, Informative

    Also, you DO realize where Saddam got that poison gas, right?

    Singapore (4,515 tons), the Netherlands (4,261 tons), Egypt (2,400 tons), India (2,343 tons), and West Germany (1,027 tons)

    Of course the American alliance greatly facilitated the whole affair. I believe Bush even claimed to "have the receipts". It's a shame there is no effective outrage over that time period. The Reagan presidency is one of the most deplorable in the country's history. In fact everybody since him are nothing to be proud of.

    You make a good point... And I doubt Walgreens would make a comeback with those delicious shakes this time

    Is it time to stop coming here?

    For you, yes :-)

    Hello editors: Are the story aggregators on full automatic now? Is "kit" some Australian slang for something? How about filing us in? Don't hold out on us.

    You mean all the baseless lies behind the law are true? Let me know when you come up with some supporting facts. If you want to call my post "flamebait", what do you call the imprisonment of over 500,000 innocent people? Oh wait, you're just appealing to authority.. Is that flamebait, or troll?

    Like any human endeavor, the "web of trust" will not be unanimous. You'll get your clubs and gangs there also. The internet is just as lumpy as everything else.. On the outside, you're on your own.

    ...it bothers me a little that techspot is treating this as a coup...

    Try to understand the advertisers mind. It's hype. Every press release is a "leak", every publication an "exclusive". Sounds more dramatic, right? Fires everybody up. Makes them forget about the hand reaching in their crotch and grabbing their goodies.

    You are illustrating exactly what I fear the most from these things... The attacks on freedom of speech. First it's the "Glenn Becks".. And then I can guarantee that you will be next. Lay the blame/credit on those who act regardless of their motivation.

    so let it go back to discussing star wars and comic books.

    Front page has already gone back to discussing Androids and iPhones. Apparently that's all there is these days. The site has become a bit of an aggregator. I see the same headlines on a lot of other sites. Sometimes in the same order. And summaries are rarely more than snippets from the article. Looks like the whole thing is becoming automated.

    Comic books? Freak Brothers.. There is no other

    Star Wars? Meh... Silent Running

    Yes it did. Information, leakage of which would have caused much more damage to the company, was contained very effectively. Now, as far as they are concerned the matter is closed.

    Sorry, do your own googling. And study a little history*. Pick a period, any period. It doesn't matter. Over and over again the same things happen, damn near play by play, word for word. This here is just another example of the "thin blue line" that permeates.
