Noam Chomsky on WikiLeaks, Obama's Targeted Assassinations and Latin America's Break From US

DemocracyNow.org - As the United States carries out another deadly drone strike in Yemen, Noam Chomsky compares the counterterrorism policies of the George W. Bush and Obama administrations. "If the Bush administration didn't like somebody, they'd kidnap them and send them to torture chambers," Chomsky says. "If the Obama administration decides they don't like somebody, they murder them." Chomsky also praises the whistleblowing activities of WikiLeaks, as well as the ongoing Latin American shift away from Washington's long-running political and economic dominance.

I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Maybe you're right. But I'd rather listen to an interview with him for 10h with birds and trucks in the background than 10mins of an interview with any current politician of any country withOUT any annoying BG noises :)

Don't even fucking compare your wikishit to MLK. Wikileaks of a CIA/MI6 operation and you're too fucking stupid, Americanized, and shallow to understand you're own asshole.

[JOn Jones]

Go fuck yourself. Wikieleaks is a MI6 and CIA co-operation meant to CO-OPT your idiotic mind.

King had the right ideas in life. By all accounts he would have been addicted to internet porn.
