Yes he is. State secrets are an important function of your government whether you like it or not.

He has help. Help I'm sure we'd easily recognize if released publicly IMO.

I'd even speculate that some if not much of his 'stuff' is manufactured data meant to do damage to whomever HE (ahem his handlers) deems to injure.

You have a pretty perverted perception of crime.

I find it interesting that our government has so much to hide that a threat of releasing information has the same effect as threatening to blow up Washington.

Maybe if our leaders weren't so corrupt, they could let the American people know what they were doing without fear.

He isn't cracking it.

People are giving it to him.

It is coming from our own citizens. And before you flip, hear me out..........

do you have children?

Considering the amount of propaganda, would you allow your child to die......or worse, come back home, only to have done that much damage in the name of a corporation?

In the name of corporations.....you took my father. You took 3 of my brothers. You claimed two grandfathers. I have one son.

You will not win that.


We DESERVE this information. And we have members of our military that


feel as well.

I'm not so certain that the "help" is not coming from this administration. Obama has been very quiet on the subject and there are ways for him to use this to his political advantage and against his opposition in 2012. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest. Is he setting Hillary up for a fall?

I do have to agree, it is kind of hard not to notice that things suddenly got a lot more serious once he announced he had info in the banking industry.
