Screw Congress. We need another Daniel Ellsberg

to release these documents. This is getting ridiculous.

CNN)Saudi Arabia is warning it will sell off billions in American assets if the U.S. Congress passes a bipartisan bill that would allow victims of 9/11 and other terrorist attacks to sue foreign governments.

Saudi foreign minister Adel al-Jubeir issued the warning to U.S. lawmakers last month during a visit to Washington, two senior State Department officials told CNN. A source with knowledge of the Saudis' thinking said investments would be put in jeopardy if this bill passes, so they are trying to protect themselves from risk.

1. Another Daniel Ellsberg....

.... probably won't materialize. Instead of protecting our whistle-blowers, we now punish them.

3. Ellsberg was famously punished.

But he had strong backing and managed to win the case.

Not so for today's crop of whistleblowers!

4. Blowing the whistle today...

... is like committing suicide. We elect the highest criminals to public office and throw the whistle blower into solitary confinement. Heck, it wouldn't surprise me if they threw the wb in Gitmo!
Things are really bass-ackwards in this country.
