But he didn't aid the enemy. The judge has found him, quite rightly, not guilty of that. <br />Morally I think he thought he was doing the right thing and a lot of reports are claiming no deaths have been linked to his leak. At the same time, at least one of the leaked documents shows that civilians were fired upon- that's not strategy that's a crime- so whether he was right in leaking the documents is not as simple as the 'he was an active soldier' argument.<br /><br />RforRetribution: I don't know 'how come no one's talking about the Indian nurse'; I see you talking about it here, which makes me happy because the whole point of the post was to talk about things that are actually news. I'm talking about the stories that interested me and I don't think they're part of a 'web of subversion' and by-products is a vague description. I think they were downplayed by some of the most widely read newspapers in India. I think this happened for a reason. I think that gross amount of attention being given to the royal baby (especially in the States) reeks of corporate media misdirection tactics - but by no means do I think it's just a handful of people in Europe and America who control the world. I can think of several people in India who fall into that 1% category too, and within that group people who control the newspapers I'm thinking of.

He is a soldier fighting for USA and he is not supposed to have a tete a tete with any one about strategy during an ongoing war.

Even fewer realize that this "royal" baby, or the "royal" baby of this "royal" baby, or one future "royal" baby, would be the heir (or at least one of the heirs) of the end-game of this worldwide technocratic subversion by a handful of people sitting in Europe & America. How come no one's talking about the Indian-origin nurse who was murdered for spilling out the "royal" pregnancy details on Australian radio anymore? The all-pervasive and uniform power they have over the media, especially in the commonwealth countries, washes away all lingering delusions of democracy or free/empowered humanity.RforRetributionnoreply@blogger.com
