A different perspective...........It is dispiriting and upsetting for anyone who cares about the American tradition of a free press to see Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton and Robert Gibbs turn into H.R. Haldeman, John Erlichman and John Dean...........[url=http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2010/12/the-shameful-attacks-on-julian-assange/67440/]The]The Shameful Attacks on Julian Assange - David Samuels - International - The Atlantic[/url] Shameful Attacks on Julian Assange - David Samuels - International - The Atlantic

Yep. And it is allegedly wired to several journalists. And just because the Guardian...............stop laughing.......


No............stop laughing..................


Ok, stop. Just stop. I'm trying to be serious. Effort should count...

So, stop laughing. So, the Guardian...........what? No really, Stop.

Thanks. Stop giggling. I see you. Yep. Stop.

When it hits...........you will see what the bitchin' has been about, in advance. The cool thing is that denial will be corp bread, passing it off as corn bread.

This is very carefully planned & controlled.
TSA at airports, train & bus stations. Maybe we now need to control information via the Internet?

Timing is everything.

FCC net neutrality plan faces battle with GOP - SignOnSanDiego.com

Republicans went on the attack again Wednesday against Genachowski's latest proposal. Robert McDowell and Meredith Attwell Baker, the two Republicans on the FCC, said they could not support the proposal. McDowell said Genachowski's effort "to adopt sweeping regulations of Internet network management" is an "ill-advised maneuver."

And two top Republicans on the House Commerce Committee, Joe Barton of Texas and Cliff Stearns of Florida, sent a letter to the FCC chairman asking him to explain where the agency gets authority to mandate net neutrality.

that you just bailed out.

Protect the banks information from being released to the American public at all cost.

In case they find out information...................about what they are really doing...

yeah, and how much do you get paid for this?

Maybe this time, people will hear a little more about places like Darfur. What exactly are we trying to protect here? You?
Governments might put up with him for awhile. Banksters won't. His life is measured in days if not hours.

It makes me wonder if the government ever heard of the "Read Only" setting that private companies use all the time including my own company. In my job I have access to sensitive information that my company would rather its competitors not get. It is all "read only". I can see it on my company laptop while connected to the company network or wireless VPN but I cannot make a copy of it, print it, download it or even do "print screen" or save it to any device including my own computer. I wonder why the government cannot do likewise.
