Assange & Manning could have easily destroyed the mission to get Osama

[apples and oranges]

I guess Manning didn't have time to pass along that document.

[treestar]

1. Yes, here is an example of why we don't need transparency

on every single damned thing.

[JuniperLea]

8. +1

I'm still furious at the birthers for their incessant BS during the time the President was working on this... like he needed their stupidity!

[Occulus]

2. Lies. n/t

[Donnachaidh]

3. wow -- this is the same sort of theoretical thinking one would find on FR

bravo! :sarcasm:

:eyes:

[bullwinkle428]

9. Somewhere in RimJob's secret underground lair, a tinfoil hat is missing!

:toast:

[damntexdem]

11. My reaction entirely.

And, in fact, Wikileaks has vetted materials -- nor did they release such RECENT materials.

And the media also vetted before printing or posting.

This is a flaming thread, a trolling thread.

[apples and oranges]

14. Sorry you don't like the truth

Not my problem,however.

[nonperson]

16. When what you're claiming as "the truth" is just your opinion

There is a problem.

[nonperson]

15. I agree

I'm not surprised but I am very disappointed with some of the reactions I'm reading here today.

[bluethruandthru]

19. I have to keep checking to see if I'm really on DU or FR?

Scary.

[dana_b]

24. I know!!

it is scary that people keep ridiculing those who do want transparency.

[librechik]

4. and yet they didn't. perhaps they are on our side after all n/t

[JVS]

5. That's a risk that they had to take.

[Vinnie From Indy]

6. Complete NONSENSE!

Go peddle this bullshit on some right-wing board.

[Scuba]

7. You're rationalizing covering up a crime based on an unprovable assumption.

[Threedifferentones]

10. Who cares?

Bin Laden was irrelevant. America, our allies and our enemies will continue to carry out terrorists attacks to further our own power as decent, ethical people suffer helplessly.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

12. So could a flying elephant running into the chopper. Or, if Osama had gone out for a burger.

[Renew Deal]

13. You're right

But you can't say anything bad about St. Manning with some.

[EFerrari]

17. Good grief.

I hope you haven't sprained anything with this OP.

[TransitJohn]

18. Execution was weak, but consistency has to count for something.

4/10.

[WillyT]

20. Man... I Hope You Didn't Hurt Yourself With That Stretch...

:wow:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

26. Speak for yourself.

I hope he did.

[blondeatlast]

29. +1. nt

[lamp_shade]

21. You're so right. K&R

[blondeatlast]

22. You have both sides of DU's factions calling bullshit on this OP.

Congratulations.

I think.

[Exultant Democracy]

23. Back that up with facts. Remember there is a difference between secret and top secret while you do.

[hugo_from_TN]

25. Which is why they both need to spend some time in prison.

[Eric J in MN]

27. If not for leaks since UBL was killed, we would know even less about it.

The killing of UBL and slow drip of info shows the need for leaks.

[Better Believe It]

28. Pretty lame attack on two hero's. Try again.

[Modern_Matthew]

30. I'd rather have transparency, to be honest. nt
