[[The NIPR Net is a government owned system. Nobody should be reading the news at work.]]
I woudl imagien soem of the job descriptions in washington and perhaps even hte military, woudl be to scour the news- Certainly it would be required of soem job positions in the guovormnent- and I woudl think it woudl be too for militarty to try to keep pace with what the enemy might be up to, what is beign reported that might affect militray safety etc-
Gee, I thought Obama says there isn’t tyranny.
[[It doesn’t matter if the classified information has become public, it is still classified.]]
That is true- technically- but reality states that any material that is made public- even by illegal means, can no logner be classified- Now, the pentagon could have tried to quickly find all the material o nthe web, demand it’s removal, demand news agencies refrain from reporting it etc- and perghaps coudl have contained it quickly enough to prevent it being made public knowledge- however, that certainly hasn’t happened in this case- one would htink the military would be forced to declassify it because it is now publicly known and the calssification title has been violated-
It woudl be akin to someone haviogn a ‘secret recipe’ and that secret gets out and peopel becoem aware of the icnredients- the ‘secret’ is no logner secret- and can’t be claiemd to be secret any longer- to do so woudl be to commit a lie-
I’m not sayign what was doen was right- but it does expose a very seriosu problem that needs to be solved-
People are calling him a ttraitor, however, He did none of this maliciously tryign to endanger others wherreas CBS a few years ago durign the Iraq war maliciously revealed the tactics and whereabouts of our military snipers, and the terrorists were watchign the news ngihtly to find out where the snipers were hidden, and were murderign our soldiers/snipers as a direct result of CBS’s ‘reporting’- CBS was asked to stop reportigtn this and they refused-
Durign Israel’s war in lebanon- CBS AGAIN maliciously reported on the qwhereabouts of Israeli trooops knowing damn well that Hammas was watchign and reporting on where the Red cross was positioned, again, knowing damn well they were purposely endangering soldeirs and aid workers- and again they refused to stop-
What thsi whistle blower did, and what CBS did are entirely different- CBS corporation IS a traitor to this coutnry- Snowdon exposed SERIOUS ILLEGAL issues and activities beign perpetrated our govenrmet
[[This is an attempt to put blinders on dear leader’s KILL SQUADS.]]
This is no different than him goign to colleges and declarign that American citizens are the enemy, and encouraging kids to wage war on us, then tellign htose kids not to watch or listen to fox news and ‘dessenters’ to his socialism- He’s trtying to put blinders on thsoe kids as well
[[Looking at the news at work should be illegal.
What if I’m self employed?]]
you shoudl voluntarily turn youself in and hope and pray for mercy
I’ll probably be lenient on me for a first offense.
