  1. News flash: an order to protect classified information is not an illegal order. As we've pointed out, there are legal ways to being illegal activities to light. Your whiny little hit of a hero chose none of them. He broke the law, he was wrong, and he knows it; hence the guilty plea. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  2. What, suddenly we should only discuss issues that matter to a few voters in a few states? Ok. Snookie lost weight. Angelina cut off her boobies. Obama is black. Kinda. Chris Christie is fat. Michale Douglas thinks oral causes cancer. The Kates are hot. The Voice sucks. Idol is worse. Shit costs too much and they want more free shit. ETA: oh, and we should let politicians get away with any crimes, and we should get out of the conflicts we're involved in. Then we should start new ones. Any questions? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

  4. I completely understand. You wouldnr believe the troubkes working for a decent sized gov agency with a common name. I used to get four people's email, but only half of mine. Ridiculous rules about allowable emails meant they were nearly identical. The difference here though, is that your email is not taxpayer funded or subject to public disclosure. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  5. That's nothing. I've seen early copy police reports entered into evidence with "NQR" written next to some statements and not others. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  6. I'll give them one thing; at least these are on the .gov server and not hidden away on a private mail servers. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  7. You're probably right, but the whole thing has a weird vibe to it. Going back to the link in the OP, it's been updated with some video. As for your "weird vibe", I'm guessing this is like so many other matters investigated by police: among the adults there are no victims, just different levels of suspect. It happens a lot. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  8. Top Obama appointees using secret email accounts AP publishes HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius’ secret email address Transparency update: Sebelius, other Obama appointees, using secret email addresses; Labor Dept. tried to charge A.P. $1 million for FOIA docs Apparently Richard Winsor, aka EPA head Lisa Jackson, was the rule, not the exemption. Senior officials are still using sock puppets to avoid transparency. IF they would release the complete emails and blackout the email address, I'd feel better about FOIA response. Hiding the entire email account from scrutiny is a whole other ball game. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  9. I'm more inclined to think there was a home invasion with the suspects thinking they were targeting a stash house (unclear whether anything actually was going on in the house). It's possible two teenagers and a ten year old were screwing around with a gun, but the article implies there were two shots, one each from two different guns. Ballistics and results of a good search warrant execution should clear it up. We'll see. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

  11. Traitors are enemies of the people. Whistleblowers are enemies of the state. Not all Set A are necessarily Set B. Not all Set B are necessarily Set A. I disagree. While I agree that not all enemies of the people are enemies of the state and vice versa, I disagree with your defining traitors and whistleblowers as one or the other. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  12. Um, no. This doesn't change legal or illegal in the slightest. He took classified material and gave it to unauthorized people. That's illegal. Again, no. The Internet age doesn't mean everyone has access to everything, not should it. Do you want your medical records, disciplinary files, and every other bit of your life open for everyone to read? More than that, this case involves a guy who volunteered to served, swore his oath of enlistment, and then another related to classified material. He is a liar and a piece of shit. People who can't string logical sentences together make me sick. Trolls only slightly less so. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

  14. Some people like to forget that whole sunni and shiite war on each other. Then the whole "it's easier to be at war with people we can see", like in their own hemisphere. Then that the smallest number of them branch out into attacks on distant "interloper" countries. Of course that ignores the fact that most folks just want to live their life and don't want to fight anyone, anywhere, any time, for any reason. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  15. disclaimer: the following is opinion, not legal analysis. Leniency for him should amount to life without the possibility of parole and a permanent cell in the Colorado filing cabinet for fanatics and freaks. Realistically I don't see how they can let him out in less than 25 for any reason whatsoever. I'd never rule out clemency in the form of commutation from a future POTUS, but it's all but unthinkable right now. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  16. The problem is twofold. First, Islam is and always has been a primarily Arab created and controlled religion. Second, since the days of Ataturk, there have been forces pushing back against every good thing Turkish leaders have ever done. The good things for Turks is that generally when the fanatics gain too much power, level heads force them back into their hole. 1997 is a good example. I also think the riots and other things I linked to may be nothing more than another correction for the pendulum swinging too far to the Islamist side. I have full faith the Turkish people are capable of running a prosperous and peaceful country. Their biggest problem is the Kurdish "troubles". Islam, while not inherently a problem (any more than any other religion), will not cease creating problems worldwide until bronze age fanatics with (I'm looking for a word other than "ungodly") views of human rights. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  17. Blah blah blah. He could have gone up his chain of command (they were not involved in the attacks). If that didn't work, he could have gone to army investigators (they're cleared for top secret material). If that didn't work, he could have gone to congress. He did none of those things. He took classified material, tons of it, 99.99999999% of it not related to any alleged wrong doing, and spread it to unauthorized parties for no good reason. Forget legal, there isn't even a reason for it. Stop portraying him as the crusading do-gooder. He's just a whiny little shit who took advantage of his position to damage his country in order to lash out at the military that he joined voluntarily. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  18. I've never been pig plinking, but I know I'd want serious power and either trusted backup something to climb if it went sideways. I've seen the results of pissed off pork tearing holes in the side of a wolf (after the fact). It was ugly. I'd consider 223, but I'd want bigger if I could get it. Blackout looks interesting, but I'd be comfortable with 308. A good can is always nice. I missed out, but a friend of mine set up some varied pig hunts. Dog hunts, chopper hunts, and even a few group spear hunts. It's too bad they're basically inedible. It's a lot of rotting meat left in the sun. I completely understand the need deal with uncontrolled destructive animals though. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  19. What does any of that have to do with Manning? Pct manning volunteered to join, swore his oath, and agreed to protect classified material. He then violated his oath and his clearance agreement. I answer your questions: Yes. All of them. No. Try to focus on manning and his crimes. You can start a new thread on Obama, or clearly explain how any actions by Obama affect this. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  20. Yeah I'm not sure what happened. It looks like they closed up shop. I'm guessing the rounds were too expensive and they didn't get enough government contracts. They were marked LEO/military only on the last one I had, but they were never going to make big commercial sales to the public. Folks just don't want to spend that much per round. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  21. Absolutely incorrect. If you have access to classified information r materials, you have a duty to protect them. The press has no such duty. If person A leaks secret documents to person B and B publishes them, person A has committed a crime but person B has not (as long as they have no legal access to them). The press can print what they get as long as they're not involved in the leaking or theft of materials. It is the duty of people with access to prevent leaks. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  22. I don't know if Dave was shitting on you, or on the idea of wax slugs. You know, poster vs post topic. If you look back, it was me and another guy talking about pure wax slugs. As for wax and pellet slugs, Dave has probably heard every hair brained half assed idea ever to be muttered from under tin foil when it comes to guns. I'd been blessed to remain ignorant of many of them until now. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  23. I see what they're going for, but I would never use it for hunting or self defense. Those rounds are all over the place. Even if you think the star of the video can't shoot, you can see the curve in the slow motion. Also a video further down tr linked page has the guy on video saying that they are going every which way. Think about it. The shotgun barrel has no rifling. That means these projectiles do not h e imparted spin to stabilize flight. The rounds are put together very randomly. There's no way center of gravity is center of projectile. Without spin, and without quality control guaranteeing uniform composition, these things are basically on random flight paths. If you want to hunt, use professional rounds or build your own shells to SAAMI specs. If you want self defense rounds, I personally believe in PolyShok, but I absolutely advocate using high quality manufacturer's rounds. If you want to save, skimp or your practice rounds. Never on shells meant for living things. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

  25. I feel the same way about Lebanon (minus family connections). Turkey is having its own problems. http://english.alarabiya.net/en/News/world/2013/06/02/Clashes-break-around-Taksim-Square-despite-police-withdrawal-.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/turkey/10093974/Turkey-protesters-celebrate-after-police-leave-Istanbul-square.html http://m.usatoday.com/article/news/2381911 Lets not forget a lot of Turkish influence shaped Muslim history. The Ottoman Empire was a Turkish caliphate, not Arab. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
