Hitler's stated goal, publicly available years before the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact (which, to be fair, was not an Alliance, but a non-aggression pact. Yes, he still broke it, but Hitler did not betray his allies, Italy, Romania, Japan, among others), was to get some lebensraum at the expense of the Soviet Union. There was nothing to be gained invading the British Isles instead.
Hitler hoped that a peace could be worked out with the West as late as after defeating France. There's a reason he let 300.000 soldiers from the BEF escape in Dunkirk: he didn't want to hurt British pride so much as to make a deal afterwards impossible.
And what about the Afghan informants who got murdered by the Taliban as soon as they got their hands on the lists of names from Wikileaks? And who knows how many coalition soldiers have gotten killed as a result of the insight those leaks gave the Taliban and others into our operations?
Did that even happen? Got any links? I doubt it, but I'm always willing to analyze evidence.
Well the American "system of law" doesn't comport with the rest of the world's basic notions of due process either. In the US of A, you can be imprisoned for years without being even charged with a crime. How is that better that Burma's again?
Of course. That's what real economists, of the Nobel prize winning class, have said already: bitcoin has deflation written all over it, and that's its doom. It won't work as it doesn't encourage use, but hoarding.
the government put Mehanna away for... translating a book (a 2003 Saudi text, 39 Ways to Serve and Participate in Jihad, that was "intended to incite people to engage in violent jihad"); distributing a video showing the brutal treatment of dead U.S. military personnel in retaliation for a rape in Iraq; and giving a friend a film about jihadi fighters...
Sentenced to 17.5 years in prison for spreading information. Sorry for bursting your bubble, but it had to be done. The US of A you think about it doesn't exist anymore.
I used to take for granted that anonymity was the main culprit, until a couple of years ago when many news websites started incorporating facebook hosted comments. Now most of this commenters have their real name exposed, and yet they're still as rude and irrational as the most anonymous of cowards.
So there must be something besides anonymity... perhaps the fluoride in the water or something.

Seriously? If you remember just a single phrase (four or five words together), let alone the title of the article, Google will "remember" the article for you. Are you really saying you can't recolect a single phrase from it?
Because those people (highly skilled / educated immigrants) just happen to also CREATE more jobs than your beloved "US CITIZENS". So in the long run, even lazy asses who only complain about "they taking errr jerbs" get to benefit as well.
I don't think you've answered the real question. If his real fear is extradition to the U.S., why is the risk higher in Sweden than in the U.K., where he has voluntarily remained for quite some time?
In December 2001 Swedish police detained Ahmed Agiza and Muhammad al-Zery, two Egyptians who had been seeking asylum in Sweden. The police took them to Bromma airport in Stockholm, and then stood aside as masked alleged CIA operatives cut their clothes from their bodies, inserted drugged suppositories in their anuses, and dressed them in diapers and overalls, handcuffed and chained them and put them on an executive jet with American registration N379P.

Exactly. So it would be like in Switzerland. Seems to work over there.
Me, count me too.

Convicted murderer / airplane hijacker George Wright is very thankful for that, by the way.
Uhm, there is one already. The US opted out, thank you very much. You don't get to bully everyone if you have to be responsible for your acts.
If they want us to stop setting their stuff on fire, they need to align their interests with ours.
How does the antelope align its interests with the lion's? Becoming suddenly suicidal?
How about not doing things that need to be apologized for, to begin with?

... if you are a hermit with no contact with society, then Government agencies are very unlikely to care where you are or what you're up to anyways...
Randy Weaver would certainly disagree.
Maybe the FBI agent (the laptop owner) moonlights as a hacker.
$100 on iOS and Android having the same feature. Not that I like it, but why the Windows-only bashing?

Because Sweden has done it before, and might as well do it again:

The police took them to Bromma airport in Stockholm, and then stood aside as masked alleged CIA operatives cut their clothes from their bodies, inserted drugged suppositories in their anuses, and dressed them in diapers and overalls, handcuffed and chained them and put them on an executive jet with American registration N379P.

So, two and half centuries ago, there were quite different values in place. What's so shocking about it?
Given that there is no declared war, Iran has all the right to denounce US and Israel to the international community. If only so nobody forgets about who the real aggressors are.
Costa Rica too. It's nice and warm there, beautiful beaches and great people.
403 is exactly right:
"The request was a legal request, but the server is refusing to respond to it"
Next question please.
You're right. US's invasion of Iraq was the criminal one.
Totally! When I want things but they're more than I consider reasonable to pay, I prefer to steal.
Spoken like a true Ironborn.
No matter how white collar your prison, they will still rape you in it. Just saying.
