So...why isn't Bradley Manning being charged with treason? You reallyQuote:

What I can't figure out, and I suspect there are those here who may know,
is why and how a lowly PFC got access to so much classified material.
What bothers me about Wikileaks is this whole culture that's grown up
around the idea that "retribution" or "revenge" hacking is OK. Disagree
with the charges against Assange, but why try to bring down the Mastercard
or PayPal sites? That is already backfiring on some wannabe activists,
one of whom, a 16 year old, has been arrested by Dutch authorities for
participating in the current DDOS attacks. What does that have to do
with Assange personally? I don't know.
What I dont understand is everyone is making a big stink about the PayPal, MasterCard and Visa DDOS attacts...but when it happened to Wikileaks last week...no one blinked an eye.
Hypocrites
brokencrow....Canada is not the refuge it once was...we got a Bush wanna be for PM :rolleyes:

MLF - Wikileaks stands for everything that is evil in the universe. Visa, MC, and Paypal do nothing but good. Surprised you didn't know that. :-P
even the Chinese news is anti wikileaks
according to 新京报 (a Beijing newspaper)
my own translation:
"Do not leak information to wikileaks. It is betraying you country."
think about it this way, if you leak information that puts your country in a bad light, you are damaging core national interests(your nation's prestige). You could also put fellow citizens in danger by leaking information.

Now this guy seems to have a grip on things!!
MLF
He'll release a terabyte of documents outing gay troops. And they'll have to drop 90% of the military because of the don't ask don't tell policy.
Assange is a journalist, as such he writes, releases information, hero or criminal neither, a freelance hack doing a job. He may be a rapist, let his trial decide that.
The criminals in this episode are the ones that either leaked or allowed to leak. Manning deserves the full justice of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the death penalty. He broke the faith with his fellow servicemen/women. Every US Serviceman/woman is schooled in the UCMJ within weeks of entrance to the service, he knew what he was doing was wrong.
People like Manning, John Anthony Walker (google it, he was really bad news) deserve to die for aiding and abetting the enemy.
I served in the Navy for 7 years, I have a daughter joining in 2011.
Big Surprise! I can't imagine the Chinese wanting to censor anyone. They are all about freedom of information. :rolleyes:Quote:
