Who says they have the right to retaliate? You have to actually show illegal behavior before you're allowed to mess with them, and the target of anonymous blogging in this case is the government. What do you think a pissed off city can do to you?
That's crap - anonymous free speech is a cornerstone of our freedom as a country. You think that if you embarrass someone powerful and they know who you are they won't retaliate?
The "mission accomplished" banner was based on that particular ship completing some specific mission (# of deployments or years at sea or something along those lines), and was not a declaration of victory for the overall conflict.
Yes it was. The other story is just the administration trying to backpedal after it became obvious to them what kind of quagmire we were in.
Why Iranians? Get some Chechnyan radical muslims and make sure they speak good english/better german - much easier than looking for 'white enough' persians.
The fad these days is to pretend that people that screw up are evil people and punish them forever, then wonder why reoffense rates are so high (must be those evil people).
reminds me of a boondocks ep (the one where they sneak food into a theater) - instead of the normal FBI lecture, it showed some punk beating the everloving shit out of a grandma and taking her purse, then said "stealing a movie is exactly like beating up an old woman", while riley tapes the whole thing.
regarding your last statement, one of the main drivers is the favorable employment laws for employees - you can't really stop someone from going to another company and competing except in narrow instances. The cultural attitudes and good schools in Silly valley help too - you won't find a silly valley in kentucky.
you're overlooking something: had you been born black, your father would be stuck wondering why his son was black and going over a list of the black people he knew.
yeah right. You can't support a network from india and you can't build a payment processor/competitive advantage using random guys from halfway around the world.
It's a bit different when the city was just conquered by nazis - we're talking about the vast majority of cases where the first guy shows up and takes the city. Do you really think the axis occupied their cities peacefully?
No, you're supposed to be aware that the terrorists are just that by circumstances and propaganda, and that the only way to actually fight them is to change the circumstances that produce them. The alternative is to treat them as animals and perpetuate the cycle.
Sounds legalistic, but really, it's not. We have not been in a struggle for our survival as a country for a long time - that's what war is. We go around and stick our dick in other places, but if it gets shot off, we only lose some facce. We don't get invaded and subjugated.

did you watch the news at all that year?

Eventually, nothing - they 'impact' profits of large campaign contrubitors, ergo they are terrorists now.

if the FSB really cares what you said, won't they ask you? They don't seem nearly as nice as, say, chicago cops.
Alice in Wonderland si probably still owned, at least in UK.

sure, but what if you want the data? that's usually worth more than the hardware.
yeah right. You can't support a network from india and you can't build a payment processor/competitive advantage using random guys from halfway around the world.
who cares if you copy a CD that you're allowed to copy?

No such thing as peaceful occupation. Just because we didn't raze cities to the ground doesn't make it peaceful.

Who caares if some random scientist from JPL goes bonkers and stalks K-fed? Besides, it's not like a background check would turn this up.
Yes, because scientists are just welfare queens, unlike corn farmers.
That's called constructive dismissal and is the same as if you fired them. Just have to demonstrate it to a judge.
These are people who don't work for NASA directly and work on unclassified stuff. Why should they have to get a clearance for that?
Not when Lincoln suspended habeas corpus.
During a war, mind you. We haven't been at war for 60 years.
all you're doing is restating the original assertion.
