He was the project of a group of communists. The project failed.
There are lions and tigers and bears, oh my! There are CSPAN and web sites and PublicRadio, oh my!
There’s transparency, unless you just don’t want to look.
There will always be secrets. That has to be, in order to protect any country. I read a rather balanced article in, I think, theNational Reviewconcerning the ‘leaks.’ If it wasn’t that publication, it was a high-ranking conservative publication. It was written by a former CIA agent who said there are some things that must remain secret. He also admitted that the Senate could be responsible for the leak that landed the Pakistani doctor in jail for helping the CIA take down bin Laden. Whoever gave secret information to the press did so because of a personal agenda.
If the objective is to vilify the President, no matter who he is, the person responsible for any leak of secret knowledge has committed an act of treason, under Article 3, Section 3 of the Constitution, “Aiding and abetting an enemy of the US.” Would a president, who’s also a Constitutional lawyer, do such a thing?
Tell me, where are Ali Mohamed, Junaid Babar and David Coleman Headley? Respectively, the government agents behind the 1998 African embassy bombings, the 7/7 bombings in London, and the 2008 Mumbai massacre.
If there was transparency, I would already know.
Seriously, that’s your argument:
- There is transparency, but
- There is and always will be secrecy, and this is right because an ex-CIA guy (who couldn’t possibly have any sort of agenda) told me so in some magazine I can’t actually remember the name of
?
Bloody hell.
Yet another post of Liz’s I couldn’t read due to the annoyinness of it.
I know you don’t care if you take another Warning and short ban, so I’m not going to give you a Warning and short ban for that, but was there really any actual point whatsoever in saying that?
So I’ve retraced my thinking and found the article. It’s in the American Conservative at theamericanconservative.com/the-cia-doctor/
In the article, the writer suggests that the leaks could have come from Congress:
The writer goes on to explain what the CIA would do to protect informers.
However, Shakil Afridi apparently refused to be relocated, even though he had a valid visa to the US.
Is this yet another attempt in an election year to discredit the President?
Was there any point to Liz’s post? I mean, honestly, if you’re going to warn and ban people for getting irritated by utter stupidity then this site really should change its name. If it weren’t that irritation, philosophy would never have come into being…
Obama has been terrible about whistleblowers also…
bloomingtonalternative.com/node/10712 - note, the article talks about a whistleblower that ended up OK, but points out that whistleblowers in general are doing worse under Obama.
I just find it noteowrthy how every post of hers starts off with something I know immediately Siatd will respond to with something along the lines of 'that makes no sense and is a horrible argument. And then that is what he ended up saying.
I’m all for enforcing rules. I just wish there were rules against failing to make an argument. I am of the mind that is worse than a 3rd party pointing it out after the fact. But this isn’t my site, so I guess it’s just a wish.
Why are you publishing stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with the topic? None of three names you named had anything to do with the Obama administration–Do you write these things in an attempt to somehow embarrass me? You’re not. I’d say you’re only embarrassing yourself, but, if I did, I’d only be falling into your trolling trap. I have much better things to do with my time.
Once again, the whistle blowers mentioned in the article were indicted years before Mr. Obama was elected President. Are there any unbiased articles published? All I’ve been able to find are Conservative publications. Face it guys, people can be politically conservative, politically liberal, or politically middle-of-the road. I believe that could be defined as political freedom.
You claimed there was transparency. I illustrated how there wasn’t.
Headley struck a very cushy plea deal with Obama’s Dept of Justice. Babar was released after 4 1/2 years by the Obama DOJ despite pleading guilty to running a terrorism training camp and providing money and equipment to Al Qaeda.
They both have a lot to do with the Obama administration.
No, I wrote them to make you look like an idiot who has no clue what’s going on in your own country, let alone the rest of the world. I succeeded.
Clearly not, since you’ve just done that…
