To those so vigorously defending Assange naming "Victim Country X"...

19. I misunderstood you

I thought by reading your reply that you want to stop all CIA involvement in foreign countries.

Now I see that you're just dubious of government claims that we seek intel that can stop a terror attack. Fortunately for you, you can't be held accountable from your armchair if you're wrong.

Although I wonder, when you speak of the "military industrial complex", if that includes wiretaps on foreign nationals. I don't imagine General Electric or McDonnell Douglass are making their bread & butter by gathering intel.

What I consider the MIC are the expensive weapons systems that keep Georgia shipbuilders at work building another unneeded nuclear aircraft carrier. Apparently, you call it anything that involves foreign activity regardless of how passive the means. I call that isolationism, but I'm as stupid as most of the country.

My New World Order conspiracy friends tell me the same thing, that they're all smarter than me and i'll be sorry when I'm in a FEMA camp.
