Pornography at the Pentagon

What does the U.S. do to whistleblowers - courageous whistleblowers - who reveal what is really happening in the Mideast? A former marine and UN arms inspector, young Scott Ritter, said that Iraq had no WMDs. The Atomic Energy Commission agreed, but that's not what President Bush and his neocons wanted to hear. So Scott was no longer invited to speak at public venues. (And I thought that the military was fighting for "freedom of speech.")  Oh, well, I suppose freedom of speech belongs to pornographers only.  Obviously Scott touched some "nerves." Somehow, probably on an alternative cable show, WYBE, he was asked whether or not he thought that Israel would strike Iran. "It would be a big mistake; Iran's much bigger than Iraq. Besides, Israel can't do it without our help. It would require flying over Iraq." Okay! That's it! Next news item about the young UN inspector? "He was accused of contacting a young girl on the internet." (paraphrased) Sound familiar?

Recently, another young man, Julian Assange, physics professor from Australia, released documents allegedly given to him by a young army officer, Bradley Manning, another patriot. There were 90,000 documents on the Afghan War. God only knows what the military is doing to this young man who dared to speak out. You know, releasing documents "could hurt security." Yeah, the security of the criminals dropping drones on innocent civilians all over the Mideast. Is there anyone out there who really believes that killing people who did nothing to us will keep us safe? And don't pretend it's about 9-11. If you haven't read "Project for a New American Century" (1997), please don't talk about 9-11. Unknown to most, the U.S. kept bombing Iraq after Bush's 1990 Gulf War ­ through to Clinton and then George W.  Ten years! (Ron Paul)

As Julian Assange was about to release documents on the Pentagon, he's "missing in action." Our weasels had some weasels in Sweden come out with a rape charge against Assange. Charges were dismissed, but that'll teach patriots to speak out. If anything in those documents revealed "perverts at the Pentagon involved in child porn," it might hurt our security. Yeah, right. They're really worried about us!
