Apparently you can get that many people to keep a secret.
Now isn't that something to behold. Government threats aren't taken lightly.
They ALL clammed up and who knows for how long they've been doing this.

And even with this brought to light they still won't acknowledge or talk about it.

Next up, this fellow was into 'child porn, and has psychological issues in his past. Was a loner and outcast, blah blah blah. ' Oh, and he'll conveniently commit 'suicide'.

others for terrorist connections. Well, you can...but it makes you look like a hypocrite.
How can anyone complain when they don't know about it ?

Why didn't anyone complain when FDR used confidential census bureau data to round up Japanese-Ameicans ? I'll tell you why. The government denied it until 2007, that's why.

It wasn't like he stole top secret weapon plans and sold them to China.
There's treason and there's whistle blowing.

If the government is doing something wrong just who do you tell ?

Most of the "bad guys" are in the U.S. federal government.

They're the ones who passed ObamaCare.
They're the ones trying to take away our guns.
They're the ones reading our emails and monitoring our internet usage.
They're the ones sexually assaulting us at the airport.
They're the ones who send Americans to war to die for false pretenses.

The U.S. government is illegitimate and staffed with criminal terrorist psychopaths.

Allow me to repeat this for you.

" Now let's be true to our principles and drop the partisanship on this issue.

It's time to repeal the Patriot Act and start dismantling the Orwellian machinery of tyranny and oppression."

If that's the case then Obama needs to be executed for murdering thousands of innocent civilians via drone bombs.

Bush, too.

Let's hope this is his first step on a long stay in a 10x10 cell in Florence, CO. Death is what he deserves, but a life in solitary will be OK with me too.
What will your post history reveal if I go back and search "Bradley Manning?"
