Damn, they're gonna fry him as an american julian assange.

Why's CBS telling the truth anyway?

this is weird.

@sheltercrow You are so very correct. False flag attacks will continue until the enactment of a FALSE FLAG PROHIBITION ACT:

(a) High felony for any US citizen, US agent, US employee or US ally, to:

(1) conspire, orchestrate, execute or cover-up the occurrence of any terrorist event, as a pretext to further: (A) armed conflict, (B) any private, public, political, national or  social agenda

hose who orchestrated 9/11 will yell the loudest at even the mention of a law of this nature.

@sethzky77 There is no equivalence between Tom Drake and Julian Assange. I see no reason to have pity on a man that wants to improve on the ability of the government to eavesdrop on the communications of American citizens. Drake is a government snitch wanting to improve on the governments ability to snitch.

CBS telling the truth anyway? Hardly. This is nothing more than advert for (a better) NSA. If you listen carefully it's actually a program on what should be done to improve NSA, not one based on abolishing it.

There are 2 things that we can take away from this story:

1. The U.S. government has intentions of ignoring/abolishing the 4th amendment

2. It is a virtual certainty that 9/11 was an inside job

If you wish to help yet another NSA employee who was attacked for attempting to report wrong-doing at NSA (internally through proper channels), send donations to Melville Johnson PC, 22 Seventh St. NE, Atlanta, GA 32308. Stewart vs. NSA. Her intelligence reports were critical to the fact that we launched the 2003 Iraq invasion with minimal military and civilian losses. Her Weapons & Space Office Chief, conspired to steal her promotion to promote his branch whore and cover it up by firing her.

WHere do I send money for his defense team ?

[tinkbones]

Just shows that in America the one thing people hate the most are snitches. I defend Tom Drake and thank him for his service to me , my family and friends. He is a true American, not swayed by politics. I urge Americans to defend him and pray for him. Its a wonder he is still alive and not died in some accident the way America deals with these issues.

[headlightguy]

this is all bull sheet ,

[LIQUIDDEMONS]

We've got to help people like Drake and Manning! If we just let them rot in prison, WE are at fault here!!!!!
