1. She's a politician

They say bullshit like that.

[villager]

2. an "attack on Empire," she means?

n/t

[leftstreet]

3. Translation: endangering jobs. Hers

These leaks make her actions look pretty bad

[ProSense]

4. Interestingly

familiar.

[Angry Dragon]

5. So she feels that someone looking at her illegal underwear

is an attack??
Funny, I am America and I do not feel that I was attacked.
Perhaps if they did more things in the open we would let them have some of their secrets.
I feel politicians put us more at risk of attack........

6. Releasing information people already know

is an attack on America?

How Secretary Cliton? Can you back that up with facts?

Peace,

7. This from someone who set spies on the UN. Pathetic CYA.

8. I wouldn't imagine that any Government official is thrilled with the leak n/t

9. Bunkum, Hilary. At this juncture honesty is your best policy.

States craft has always involved these tactics, we know it, you know it. Now, we know more of the specifics in a more timely manner. I would love to hear about the Bush Co interactions with the Saudis. Any chance those are included?

13. That's what they're most worried about. nt

[MissMarple]

14. Yes, and they need to just suck it up and move forward, hopefully with a better understanding.

Secrecy is our enemy, their enabler. It holds us all back.

[patrice]

17. Absolutely! So many, many problems caused by secrecy about things that directly affect peoples lives

[droidamus2]

10. She's right in the sense

this is an attack on 'her world'. That's the world where those with education, money and power are allowed to lie, cheat and steal from the rest of us with impunity. I'm sure it is very disturbing to those in power that they can no longer expect to totally control the flow of information and that their lies and obfuscations will be exposed to the public.

[Hissyspit]

11. Or not. nt

[patrice]

12. How would this situation be different if "we" had not Invaded & Occupied Iraq?

- an assault upon a sovereign nation
- and an assault upon the people of this land that is called the USA.

Sorry, Secretary Clinton, but you all asked for it.

[Bluebear]

15. So is torture, nt

[Jack Rabbit]

16. Really? I thought the same thing about Bush's War on Terror.

18. The Iraq War was an attack ont he international community, Hilary, and

you fucking voted for it. You tasked diplomats with spying on other diplomats at the U.N. and you dare to talk about an attack on the international community. Give me a break, you fucking war pig.
