There is not will to fight, and it it titilating, amost a high school clique thing a badge of courage to protest government action and scrutinize every step the government takes and the military employs to protect this country.

Suicide amongst soldiers is huge. Does anyone know this? Does the media give a shit? Don’t dare make a connection between the successful psychological games the left has played, how Bush and Rumsfeld have been demeaned or how the refusal to fight this war rages here at home. Then they threaten medical care, disclose deeply egregiously damaging classified information in the interest of transparency.

We have become the enemy. We are doing the enemy’s work for them.

if waterboarding is torture what the fuck is beheadings

I didn’t bother to even look at this video… and now I will tell you why.

This is not a “multi-faceted issue” – WE ARE AT WAR, a nation at war must have secrets that it keeps from everyone! Congress has not voted to rescind either of the AUMF resolutions so we are, in fact, still at war. The prior ‘leaks’ to the press about this and other secret ‘things’ by government officials – undoubtedly with security clearances – were criminal acts of high-treason!

Screw this [censored] “transparency” shit… it doesn’t apply here!

These people knew exactly what they were doing and the damage that would result in its release, therefore am confident the element of criminal intent is indeed present, with a FOIA request being used as cover inasmuch as the limp “transparency” excuse.

My opinion when this happened was that the release of this information is indeed espionage if you read 18 USC 793, and it has caused exceptionally grave damage to national security.

Very plainly, and legal sufficient is an article Laws and Leaks of Classified Intelligence The Consequences of Permissive Neglect James B. Bruce a CIA publication located at url https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intelligence/kent-csi/docs/v47i1a04p.htm Here is a quick quote from there: “…Classified intelligence disclosed in the press is the effective equivalent of intelligence gathered through foreign espionage. Importantly, more than just Russian intelligence officers understand this. Key adversaries of the United States, such as China and al-Qaida, derive a significant amount of their information on the United States and US intelligence from the media, including the Internet. What we need to understand are the legal implications of this key principle…”

The very disclosure and then corroboration of the existence of the Waterboarding program is constructive espionage which has also caused exceptionally grave damage to national security.

Lastly, I often wonder what Wild Bill Donovan would do today especially after this war we fought was danced with all during Clinton. I am confident these memos would never have been released and waterboarding would have been conducted to this day. Here is a quote from General Donovan and it makes me wonder why these people are in my government in the first place: “Espionage is not a nice thing, nor are the methods employed exemplary. Neither are demolition bombs nor poison gas…. We face an enemy who believes one of his chief weapons is that none but he will employ terror. But we will turn terror against him….”

Hey Barry, you ass-wipe, since when does al Qaeda give a crap about your moral authority Your moral authority is not going to give you actionable intel or save your sorry ass from the next big terrorist event that comes along. God help America, and all the rest of us too
