Also, income != wealth. Saying that the rich "pay too much" is to ignore that assets are not taxed as income.
And now we come to the crux of the matter, the fact is you simply can't tax the wealthy enough to acheive your goal, unless of course you tax them at over 100%; which leaves you with unvarnished wealth redistribution. My belief is the wealthy have had ancestors with almost obsessive-compulsive drives to make their grandchildren rich and have embarked their families on multi-generational plans to achieve that goal. They have frequently dragged many around them with them. I fear that when you increase inheritance taxes to the point where that is impossible, then society will lose a valuable motivater. Perhaps it's not the top 20% having the 80% that is the real problem with a sick society but the appearent inability of the lower 80% to produce more wealth. How do we teach the average joe to be wealthier rather than just have more income?
Wow do you have a citation please, it's difficult to believe that the top 20% pay that much and the bottom 50% pay nothing. I know I pay income taxes and don't believe I'm above the 50th percentile, so if your correct I must be doing something very wrong tax-wise/
3.1.7 Does the Government have copyright protection in U.S. Government works in other countries?
Yes, the copyright exclusion for works of the U.S. Government is not intended to have any impact on protection of these works abroad (S. REP. NO. 473, 94th Cong., 2d Sess. 56 (1976)). Therefore, the U.S. Government may obtain protection in other countries depending on the treatment of government works by the national copyright law of the particular country. Copyright is sometimes asserted by U.S. Government agencies outside the United States. Frequently Asked Questions About Copyright Issues Affecting the U.S. Government CENDI/2008-1 October 8, 2008
Sorry but life just isn't fair, they are heading toward 400,000 documents and if they get fined for infrigement at U$250,000.00 a document, that's about U$ 100B times all the downloads of the Insurance file.
I'm not sure it matters or not when the 16YO's Father has to go to work and explain to his employer that his Company's Laptop has been siezed by the police because his son might be an Internet Terrorist stupid enough to try and jaust with the NSA and the American State Department.
I applaud your sentiment. So I guess the question is should something being online make a difference to the right to protest? And if not, is that the only relevant difference between clogging the streets with placards and DDoSing Mastercard or Amazon?
Well when your doing it in the real world ala a flash-crowd, there comes a point where your right to assemble and speak interferes with other's rights to assembly and speech and at that point Law Enforcement should take the appropriate actions to ensure everyone's right to assert their rights is maximized. I can understand why Anomomous protesters, would need to be anonomous while protesting against the Church of Scientology, but this just reeks of the old-style KKK anonomity.
I'd call it the definition of Cannon Fodder. For all we know it was really know it could have been instigated by a CoS provocateur to get back at Anonomous, or a Fed trying to build a case for Anonomous and Wikileaks being labled a terrorist organization or a RICO.
Isn't it embaressing when you call someone a moron in all caps and correct him in bold fonted all cap and are just plain wrong, and even your Grandmother should know it! OBTW even I a GreatGrandFather knows enough to look up WKP before I post something too stupid to allow me to keep my Geek Card.
Then there is copyright, the USG can own copyright on its work in other juricdictions and there could easily be copyrighted communications in the cables. I know of at least one independent journalist, Michael Yon, who is looking into where Emails he has sent to the USG have be infringed. I'm also curious if whether the DMCA might come into play such that SIPRn might be considered a technological copy prevention method.

Eligibility
Barrett-Jackson will issue media credentials to members of the working press only. By definition, a member of the working press shall be a paid employee or representative of a known and established media organization (newspaper, magazine, television, radio, web site, etc.). Journalists who receive credentials must be on assignment for a specific media organization at each event. All journalists who wish to attend Barrett-Jackson events must submit a media credential application pursuant to this policy and the guidelines stated on the Barrett-Jackson website at www.barrett-jackson.com. Freelance journalists must be on assignment at the specific event or must submit a media credential application indicating the scope and purpose of the requested coverage. Organizations may request more than one media credential; however, Barrett-Jackson does not guarantee more than one credential will be awarded per organization. Barrett-Jackson
Barret-Jackson would be way cooler to cover anyways.
The revenue that visa and mastercard make from their websites is trivial compared to their core business, transaction processing. They are probably glad that the attacks or on the website rather than the processing gateways that would hurt them financially.
It's not referenced there, it's a reference from an earlier article. Whether or not getting passwords and DNA samples is wrong, or illegal depends on the methods used to get the samples or passwords. If your stupid enough to type in your password in plain view of the hidden surveillance camera in a public space, (which is pretty much everywhere except the bathroom) it's your bad judgement. like wise your slobbering on a drinking glass at the embassy dinner.
Apparently the ladies consent was conditional and Assange failed to live up to the conditions in their opinion. It'll be interesting to follow this, I've seen several cases where men have assumed that once consent is given it's for the duration, only to find out from a prosecutor that consent is an on-going process. There were some High Schoolers that found out that if the woman passes-out it automatically is rape if you continue to have sex with her.
Generally speaking I believe the E4 and above are normally expected to have a Confidential clearance, E6 and any Commisioned or Warrant Officer are normally expected to have at least Secret and W3 and O4 generaly have Top Secret. Frequently a particular job or assignment would require a higher Clearence for individuals. I wouldn't be suprised if Manning held a Secret and his boss a Top Secret.
We used to burn inside a 55 gallon drum on a spit that had a screen to sift the ashes, that's for routine burning, for a quick burn due to being over run, a themite grenade or two is placed on top of and set off on security container which would have been very fast and messy. A thermite grenade will burn through an diesel truck engine so a security vault or safe is no problem.
Oh it's even worst than that, Countries are plotting to subvert IPCC and it's fight to prevent global Climate change. For example in Bolivia, Morales, the President, is pre-enviroment in public, but pro-industrialization. Lot's of people suspect that when the cables are really analyzed, they'll blow away the climate-gate email leaks and we'll find out about which Greens are really closet deniers in it for the fame and money.

Makes one wonder what else was in that download; the next DDoS might not be so voluntary.

No it just distracts attention away from the CoS provacatuers.

Manning was staioned in a Brigade level assignment, about 3 management levels above front line troops
