Becoming a "traitor" is easy. I just donated again to Wikilileaks. Link to do so below.

1. Financially funding an organization compromising the troops security?

In post-Bush America, I wouldn't fuck around with this one.

[Skidmore]

5. Yup.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

[Oregone]

6. Im not suggesting its wrong

But the administration thinks it is. Thats something I wouldn't fuck with these days

[amborin]

9. that is very droll, but something to ponder given the green light on assassinations....

[jah the baptist]

7. no shit nt

[midnight]

2. Thank you...

[gateley]

4. What an amazing resource it is. No photocopying, Gravel doesn't

have to read the damn thing to get it into the record. Definitely an organization worth our support and gratitude! :headbang:

[jah the baptist]

8. all bullshit aside

be careful

[gateley]

10. I'm not getting your meaning --

And welcome to DU, buy the way - if I haven't already said hi. :hi:

[jah the baptist]

12. thanks for the welcome im just saying

i would think real hard before impulsively giving to them

i applaud what they do but like oregone i would be nervous about giving to them in the atmosphere in which we live

patriot act and all of that

maybe im being a chickinshit fraidee cat

but it is what it is

[dixiegrrrrl]

14. Know anything about crab pots?

When you fish for crab off docks, and pull up a crab pot, you can put the crab into a big basket, with the other crabs.
The basket has no lid.
If a crab tries to climb up out of the basket, the other crabs will pull it back down.
I have been thinking we are a nation of sheeple.
Guess we are a nation of crabby sheeple.

[jah the baptist]

16. yeah i get it

interesting times, no?

[gateley]

19. Gotta agree - although I'm hopeful the patriot act isn't as smarmy as it was

under Bush (although I hear Obama IS pissed)

Not to worry - I have no money anyway! :7

EDIT -- PS: Thanks for your concern! :hi:

[stray cat]

11. do you really know what your money is going to be used for? ie not a yacht?

I didn't see much new in the release on Afghanistan.....

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

13. I think I got my monies worth in this and the previous release.

Perhaps there is nothing "new" but the response from our government and the Brits says that it's got them worrying about the course of the war and it's sustainability. If nothing else, it's going to cause the people here to start to wonder about the wisdom of continuing a lost war.

[Pavulon]

15. Nope. Just a weird looking guy.

selling his agenda with info he got from a man who will die in federal custody.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

17. I seriously doubt that.

The Pentagon wants this to all go away. They're unlikely to want a show trial which punishes a whistleblower and then have to defend a harsh sentence in the midst of an unpopular war that's now being exposed for what it is...lost. He'll probably get a dishonorable, some prison time, and when the war inevitably ends, a reprieve or like the deserters, after Vietnam, a pardon from a more courageous president.

20. i disagee, man

this stuff sheds light on what is being done in our name

at the same time the government has a legitimate interest in keeping some things secret

this is the give and take between those interests

i withold judgement on either side of that coin

for now

[Pavulon]

21. I'm reading it. will take weeks to analyze.

so far, nothing earth shattering.
