Tried to post this earlier but the source is on our “Do not Post List” so I will sum it up here.

Top-secret Obama safe house leaked on LimeWire
July 30, 2009

Congressman Edolphus Towns (http://www.house.gov/towns/) wants to start regulating the file sharing industry because of all of the sensitive government info that has been leaked (although n mention is made of the NYT’s and their leaks during the Bush admin).

He is quoted as saying:

“As far as I am concerned, the days of self-regulation should be over for the file-sharing industry,”

“In the last administration, the Federal Trade Commission took a see-no-evil, hear-no-evil approach to the file sharing software industry. I hope the new administration is revisiting that approach.”

“For our sensitive Government information, the risk is simply too great to ignore,”

I have been busy this summer, so I did not know about the safe house leak. Of course I do not think any sensitive info should be leaked esp. when doing so could risk the safety of the President (regardless of who it is), citizens or our military.

I do have my doubts about it being the true reasn for this. I think it is about shutting down the free flow of information. They are approaching it on various fronts trying to shut down as many avenues of communication a possible. This one is wrapped in the American Flag. Maybe he thinks it will lessen the charges of trying to suppress the voice of the people. Not working for me.
