In a more secure world not that long ago people who divulged classified information were put against a wall and shot...

Things sure got complicated. It's like your boss putting a cam in the loo, and there you are masturbating to a pic of his daughter. Was it your fault, or his for having the family pic on his desk and setting up the cam?

I think that would make you Boss one sick S.O.B. and the person slamming the ham needs to get a f**k life.
I don't think the analogy hit the spot.
Some like to know whats going on,some don't,some want to see where their tax dollars are going,some don't.
Some want to know why their sons and daughters are paying the price for Democracy.

Imho - Assange should be left the hell alone. What reporter wouldn't expose what he considered to be the scoop of the century?

The pfc in Gitmo should be shot for making the leak.

THAT's the way things USED to be done. Today, however, our fine gov't goes after a free press in a foreign country, & THAT, ladies & germs, scares me FAR more than the leaks! This is not only wrong, but goes against our own Constitution, & should be stopped immediately, if not sooner. We really look worse & worse to me, as this goes on...

What about the Pentagon Papers? Daniel Ellsberg really had to have courage to do that, during NIXON's fascist administration no less.
