    Yup, you certainly know a lot (pure sarcasm here!!!!!!!).

    When the My Lai Massacre was first reported, a Col. Colin Powell, of Americal, was instrumental in covering it up.

    Which is how those clowns reach general and admiral rank (see the background of douchey John McCain's father and grandfather).

    Only after the gunship crewman became a civilian, and continued to pursue the matter did it ever reach the light of day.

    But with endless duty and service in today's nonconscripted slave military, and partially-privatized, how could Manning know when, or if, he would ever be separated from service?

    The US Senate, back in December, in complete contravention to the US Constitution and all historic US law, had a unanimous voice vote (so that no record would be kept of each senator's vote) to allow a complete exemption to all the banksters' illegal activities with regard to illegitimate foreclosures, and those action preceding and coming after!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Manning did, but was repulsed by his commander, and took the only way out. You would also know that Manning has been held in violation of the UCMJ, with 10 months in isolation and sleep deprivation, when he is supposed to be accorded a speedy courts-martial.

    Perhaps you are related to the vice-prez of the USA, Joey Bin Biden. No doubt we should seek his wise counsel on the matter, just as we wonder what he would say about whether Gadhaffi is an actual dictator, or even a psycho dictator, something which evidently appears to have caught our banksters, pharmaceutical lobbyists, Monsanto lobbyists, and Exxon-Mobil lobbyists, like Susan Rice and the other neocons on Obama's administration, completely by surprise!

    We do know of vice-prez Joey Bin Biden's recent sage declarations: that Mubarrak of Egypt was "NOT a dictator" and that "Julian Assange is a high-tech terrorist" --- you go, Joey Bin Biden, man of many achievements (such as that op you were a part of, together with Anita Hill, to get Clarence Thoms seated on the US Supreme Court --- you go, Joey!!!!).

    I've know a variety of military pilots over the years; some stalwart and of absolute integrity, such as Maj. Fritz Meyers, who refused to take the path of least resistance and retired early to publicly denounce the "official version" of the surface-to-air missile shootdown of Flight 800 (which the radar data, released some years later under an FOIA request, has proven).

  16. Try thinking for a change on Wikileaks' Assange Begins Extradition Battle · · Score: 1
    Negative, unthinking one, it is far more difficult -- given the judicial setup in the UK and the present political turmoil and scandals going on there -- to extradite from there, far easier to extradite him to Gothenburg, where Jeppesen Systems AB is located (FYI, douchebag, Jeppesen is also known as Boeing's "Extreme Rendition" airlines --- beginning to understand now? Nope, didn't think so!) --- but what is bizarre is that a local, instead of national, prosecutor would be attempting to extradite Assange of Wikileaks, (but the fact it's Goteborg, or Gothenburg, is the tipoff) and that an Interpol warrant would be issued --- against their charter --- for a charge which carries no jail sentence!!!

    Now I would like to repost the comments by arbed12 from a Swedish news site (thelocal.se):

    Questions (not being asked by the mainstream media):

    The 100 page police protocol now on the internet is the complete prosecution file as it existed on 18 Nov when it was given to Assange's lawyer (in Swedish) by Marianne Ny. Her letter to the Australian High Commission (20 Dec) mentions "a small number of documents" held back that have been verbally described to the lawyer, so this must be more or less the whole thing.

    My question: I thought a European Arrest Warrant could only be issued for offences that carry a minimum 1 year sentence. I think this applies to only 1 of the 4 offences detailed - the one concerning Miss W being "asleep". Miss W's witness statement in the protocol is unfinished and unsigned. So, has this EAW been raised on the basis of allegations that have not been formally made (ie. no signed witness statement)?

    Alternatively, has it been raised on the basis of the hearsay evidence of friends, family and work colleagues about this incident given by Witness B (statement taken by telephone on 8 Sept), Witness D (telephone statement 13 Sept) and Witnesses G, H and I (telephone statements 6, 22 and 27 Oct respectively)?

    More questions: where is Miss W's full witness statement (either recorded police interview or properly finished and signed document)? There's been plenty of time to obtain it between 20 Aug and 18 Nov surely? Why hasn't this been given to the defence?

    Where is Miss A's full witness statement? Subsequent to the telephone statement taken on 21 August, there has been at least one opportunity to do a full recorded police interview (when she gave the police the torn, used condom on 25 August). Again, there has been plenty of time between 21 Aug and 18 Nov to obtain a formal statement. Why hasn't this been given to the defence?

    Apparently, police forensics were unable to find any DNA (male or female) on a torn, supposedly used, condom. How is this even possible? To me, the lack of any DNA indicates the condom has never even been worn and therefore, potentially, has been presented by the complainant as false evidence. Why have most reports in the mainstream media about the latest leak (from an incredibly porous police investigation) not mentioned this detail at all?

    Finally, one for Nick Davies of the Guardian, who wrote a highly prejudicial article on 18 December based on a 68 page police report (he says he was given "unauthorised" access to a few days previously. Given the police file on the internet now is 100 pages long, does this mean Davies' report did not include Witness E and Witness F's statements (lengthy recorded police interviews done on 20 Sept) by two Swedish journalists? It's the only thing I can see that might account for the difference in page count. If so, why not - they were available by 18 December. And why did he choose to publish an article based on only one side of the story? In a rape case? Would he consider that good journalistic practice? Or a disgrace to his profession?

    One more thing:

    Witness I's statement is very troubling. First, she doesn't seem to live where her statement indicates she does and, second, in it the police ask her about the SMS messages with Miss W that

    "OK, now a lot of people have been wondering how Egypt managed to isolate itself on the Web. There are principally two ways this is done, first physically forcing the individual ISPs (ASN level) to halt all in and out-going IP traffic, but the second way is probably how they accomplished it. Let this be a warning to all who try.

    They would have had the site which is their top-domain registry, or .eg registry, perform editing of their country's web sites by removing the terminating "." to DNS records in the .eg zone.

    (That is, deleting the "." following the lower level sites, indicating no ".eg" was to follow.)

    As an example, were one to evilly hack into Sweden's .se country registry (www.iis.se), and remove the terminating "." after the main ASN sites, no IP traffic would be incoming or outgoing for that country.

    As an example, were one to evilly hack into the United Kingdom's .uk country registry (www.nominet.org.uk), and remove the terminating "." after the main ASN sites, no IP traffic would be incoming or outgoing for that country.

    As an example, were one to evilly hack into Switzerland's .ch country registry (www.switch.ch/all), and remove the terminating "." after the main ASN sites, no IP traffic would be incoming or outgoing for that country.

    Now, this is assuredly against the law, so be warned not do undertake any such operation --- even if the global banking elite manages to have Assange of Wikileaks illegally extradited to Sweden to be later removed to some extreme rendition site."
