US Congressman calls for Wikileaks whistleblower (Manning) to be executed

[superconnected]

Source: techeye.net

A US Congressman has called for the bloke who leaked secret documents to Wikileaks to be executed.
Congressman Mike Rogers says he supports execution for the soldier involved if he is ultimately found guilty.

This splendid example of humanity is a Republican who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, which must shorely be some mishtake.

Rogers said that Private Bradley Manning appears to be guilty of treason in time of war, which is a capital crime.

He hit out what he called a "culture of disclosure" for encouraging someone like Manning into thinking that the release of such sensitive information was a good thing.

2. "shorely be some mishtake"? What kind of writing is this?

[Parker CA]

4. Yeah that made me laugh too. he claim, if true, is reprehensible, but the writer's language is odd.

[apnu]

15. The author uses British slang and spellings.

"bloke" is a dead giveaway.

[oldironside]

23. The author is familiar with...

... the British satirical magazine Private Eye. This is a standard interjection from the drunken editor.

Fuck You.

9. Not a hard read...a stupid read...Sometimes hard and stupid

are the same.

7. House Intelligence Committee

Oxymorons abound

8. We declared war on Afghanistan?

I must have missed that. :sarcasm:

So you see, Mike Rogers, it isn't really a "time of war". :P

[Jennicut]

10. Pretty disgusting. He will spend years in jail, which is bad enough.

11. "We republicons are occultists, and we mean to keep it that way." - Republicons

"The public has a right to know nothing about the WMD, the oil, the torture, the pallets with billions of dollars, the bribes, the assasinations -- nothing. That is all protected republicon occultism, so you citizens can just sit down and STFU -- or face execution."

12. Perhaps some Stalin-esque purges would help with that "culture of disclosure" prob.

See... all through the Cold War we thought the Conservatives HATED the USSR. Now we can clearly see, it was ENVY, not hate.

[go west young man]

13. Ah but there has been no declaration of war by congress.

Only an endless military excursion against the tactic of "terrorism".

[cascadiance]

14. Maybe we should execute Marc Grossman too? Perhaps ask Rogers if he should be too...

If it is proved that Grossman was the one that leaked WMD secrets and materials to Pakistan through Turkey and Israel. All we need is to get Sibel on the stand to testify about where this information exists in the FBI (or where it has perhaps been illegally "expunged", which might be a reason to have some others "executed" to as a party to covering up that crime).

Grossman's crimes, if allegations are verified, have done a lot more damage to our country's security than what Manning did, even putting ethics aside, which also I would side with Manning more too.

[cstanleytech]

16. Raise your hand if you suspect that Rep. Rogers

will not however be calling for the person who outed Valerie Plame to be tried for treason and executed.

/Raises hand

[cascadiance]

19. It was allegedly Marc Grossman that outed Brewster Jennings before Scooter or others did...

So he might be that person too that outed Plame in the process, in addition to giving WMD secrets to the enemy.

[The Backlash Cometh]

17. W.T.F.

[CLANG]

20. Here's the fascist dillweed:

[SoapBox]

21. Wow! Let the Inquisition begin! Warm up the Gallows and Guillotine!

...I'm sure that Crazy Shelly will be right there with this guy, fighting to pull the rope!

AS SOON AS, she gets done sucking off the teat of her GOVERNMENT provided health care.

[sofa king]

22. Just as soon as they start executing people for outing CIA agents...

...Then I'll be all for it.

[COLGATE4]

24. Mike Rogers is just a former FBI goon Rethug asshole

who managed to get himself elected by the knuckle-draggers in his mid-Michigan district. His next thought will be his first.

[Bozita]

25. Really, Mike Rogers? Execute? Does that include your ol' pal "Leaky Pete" Hoekstra?

Just dug this up from the ol' memory hole. It seemed like the right thing to do today.

Pete Hoekstra Leaking Secrets Again
by: Richard Allen Smith
Wed Nov 11, 2009 at 16:01:13 PM EST

We already know that Representative Pete Hoekstra (R-MI) has a problem keeping secrets. Unsurprisingly, Hoekstra, the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, is at it again. This time, Rep. Hoekstra is leaking details of intelligence monitoring to the press as they relate to a radical cleric with connection to Major Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter.
From Rachel:

MADDOW: Why is it Pete Hoekstra who's taking it upon himself to tell the press that this radical cleric is having his email read by U.S. intelligence agencies? The FBI had not said publicly that this cleric had been emailing Hasan. The CIA, the NSA, the White House - nobody else had reported this cleric was e-mailing Hasan. This is just Pete Hoekstra letting us know - and letting the radical cleric who is under surveillance know - that he's under surveillance.

Marcy Wheeler also has an extensive documentation of Pete Hoekstra's record of mishandling and outright lying when it comes to matters of intelligence and national security. Even though Hoekstra has proven that he cannot be trusted with intelligence, and occasionally makes up his own intelligence to get some press attention, he is still the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee.

If Hoekstra weren't retiring from the House to run for Governor of Michigan, I'd call for his removal from that committee. Come to think of it, maybe there is a connection between that, and him making shit up to get his name in a few papers.



Here's Rachel on "Leaky Pete" Hoekstra:

26. I guarantee he's not the only one that feels this way.

[Rex]

27. Well of course he does! he has a big R next to his name.

Didn't even have to start reading before I knew it was a Repuke cowards hiding behind the flag. Sick pathetic bastard, I doubt the Repuke would have the guts to pull the switch on the lowly private. Just enough to order someone else to do it.
