A system of revenge

wow its so EMBARRASSING to get found out that your doing the same thing everyone else is ..... please.

It is when people make such a song and dance about other countries doing it and claiming that the land of freedom and democracy is so much better than countries which do such things.

The second - hmmm ya know we give you alot of foreign aid because you can't seem to govern your way out of a poverty paper bag - and since we have been helping you out alot with foreign aid we'd really like it if you did us a favor.

wow. such blindness.
So we have American foriegn aid being given to the people who are funding the terrorists who attack America.
We have foriegn aid that is meant for fighting the terrorists that is being used for other purposes and being diverted to the very terrorists it is supposed to be used against.
We have foriegn aid going to crazy dictators who require huge bribes just to pretend to be friendly to the US while constantly upping their demands yet doing bugger all in return.
Then of course you have the foriegn aid to people who should in theory be well placed to aid in the war on terror but appear to be directing their anti terror efforts at getting rid of any local political opposition instead and whose primary anti terror unit is actually banned by US law from being eligible for any aid as it is just a good old fashioned death squad which just kills with impunity whoever it feels like.
It really appears that some people havn't the faintest idea what the wikileaks has revealed.
As any single one of those constitutes treason by the US against the US as it means you are willingly financing your own enemies and acting against your own laws and own national interests.
But hey its just helping out against poverty in exchange for a favour right

This thread is good example why some things need to be confidetial.Its not that wikileaks reviled that much so far.
Maybe it just brought some from fantasy world and hurt some pride.

Maybe it just brought some from fantasy world and hurt some pride.

Well pride does come before a fall, plus when that pride is based on some fantasy world reality can be a big shock.
It explains why there was so much hysteria about wikileaks "treason" and it endangering lives, even leading some to call for assasinations.
Though of course many wish to retain that "pride" they had so are crawling back into their fantasy world where that pride can be real again.

I guess the real question might be: Is Manning being treated any differently than any other prisoner in pre-trial confinement for a equal or similar crime?
