    Well, if you've seen one area of the country you've seen them all.
    And have you seen them all?
    I've seen one.
    Are you not in fact a train spotter?

    programmer?
    Person 1 rips you off to the tune of $200.
    Person 2 demonstrates how to get Person 1 to rip you off only $100, for $25.

    So now you're ripped off $125 instead of the original $200. It doesn't matter how many people are ripping you off except to determine the total amount you are getting ripped off and figure out who to keep around.

    That's not how moderation works. That's not how any of this works. I haven't really checked...

    On the other hand, I just did a search, like so: http://www.bing.com/search?q=s...
    Doesn't seem to result in "oblivion".

    I arrived late to the party, but am quite rapidly becoming quite a prolific poster to this story. I haven't seen a Slashdot feature that easily allows people to keep track of number of posts, so how do you compare how many posts everyone has made here?

    You really don't know how politicians and the rest of the rich and powerful think. We're all playing cards to them. Doesn't matter which country they are in.

    Would you care to point out where in the Constitution the government is given the right to classify information.

    My search for it turned up this page:
    http://www.right2info.org/cons...
    which does not list the United States as having a constitution that protects its citizens right to information from the government, but that is not the same as saying the government has the right to classify information.

    I think you left out the word 'potential' there, as in potential consequences.

    There is plenty of grey area on the matter, and probably even some colors too. There's the matter of whether the laws in place violate the constitution and whether the laws should be jury nullified, and probably more as well.

    Have you bothered to consider the number of classified documents that were leaked that had nothing to do with his accusations?

    I know I haven't. But that's mainly because I've only heard people like you saying there sure are a lot of them, without any research performed on the matter.

    Although it seems obvious to me that the laws on treason are fairly clear and even handed

    Just because something seems obvious, doesn't mean it is. Also, you seem to be yet another person who needs to read up on jury nullification.

    What is this thing called "unquestionable" of which you speak? I counter there is no such thing.

    How did the previous poster not acknowledge what Ms. Monaco said? Does one have to believe that the other person wasn't being disingenuous to acknowledge what they said?

    Who then gets to decide what "the consequences of his actions" is. What makes running away from people who have it in for him not a consequence of his actions?

    Don't know what to think of them not believing his running away from them is a consequence of his actions. No, only the things they might do to him are consequences.
