    Yeah, the article links the two but the articles information shows it as being a generalized malware or virus. They may be being overcautious on this one, but the article attempts to inject fear, speculation, and link an unrelated incident to this.

    I agree, troop movement and positions should be protected under free speech, along with thoughts about foreign dignitaries and how we should take political advantage of an adverse situation.
    Kudos to your thought provoking and clearly thought out statement.

    Although I do agree that evil should be exposed, good should not always be exposed.
    This is the thin wire we walk when we do such things. So far Wikileaks has done mostly good, some bad, and some disinformation.

    Not that I am against your not viewing every moron out there with a camera, your logic is flawed. Everyone is lucky to the point of their condition and how they got there, that includes the people you listed. Watching their life story will not change your life story unless you make it happen and are "lucky".

    1) Then why did so many get sub-prime loans, ending up in people still losing houses today because their payments have continuously gone up? Risk.... none to bank, all on person.
    2) So then with this argument you just refuted your previous one... GG there AC... GG
    3) How did the Fed create an artificial market when the market was based on supply/demand? Demand went up because people were buying houses, people were buying houses due to sub-prime loan offers not understanding the full implications
    4) Yes they did, but they were thinking about the people paying them more, not walking away from the house or bankrupting themselves. The banks actually won out because they are still owed that money by the initial person, they resold the house at auction, and they can get in on the auction loans.
    So yes... they do own these people for the rest of their lives or until they pay it off. Wasnt it once said, discover a way for people to keep paying you and you will be rich?
    Guess what...
    Oh and dont come on here all AC and spout your gibberish.
