BA> JB> Why is nobody calling for The Shrew to be held accountable for
BA> JB> the State  Department leaks to the Wiki site ?  If this were a
BA> JB> Republican they  would be calling for a complete investigation

BA> JB> attempting to discredit the US and her allies.

BA>I'm not sure the leak was in DOS.  Some Army guy was nailed some time

BA>this may be the source for most of Wiki's material.

I doubt it.  The Army typically doesn't have access to this wide variety 
of information unless they are assigned to the State Department or 
similar.  If this was all about the war and such, then I might agree.


BA>She shure has been flapping her jaw about it the last couple of days.
BA>Any press
BA>coverage is good coverage to people like her, I guess.

BA>I note that the US government apparnently engaged in cyber attacks

BA>surprised if the US government
BA>kidnapped the people running Wiki and brought them here for trial.

That could happen but we need to go after the source.  Someone or some 
group within the government had to leak the documents.  


BA>People - particularly government officials and their supporters -
BA>can't seem to understand

BA>I have major problems
BA>with the conduct of this government WRT Manuel Noriega and Saddam
BA>Hussein.  Neither of

BA>Noriega from his
BA>country to this one in order to put him on 'trial.'  The same is true
BA>of all those people at
BA>Guantanamo, the US government has no legitimate power to enforce its
BA>laws outside of its
BA>borders - the fact that it can and does is one reason the US is as
BA>unpopular as it is in parts
BA>of the rest of the world.  Might does not necessarily make right.

Agreed but there is enough within our jurisdiction to go after.
