You just have to laugh at the pompous news media sometimes. Like WikiLeaks, now another messenger is being killed---the pilot who videotaped and sent to YouTube an array of security breach possibilities at an airport.
Before the soldier who leaked the military docs got lawyered up (and I would LOVE to give that closing summation), he was interviewed on TV and said he was sick of all the lies he was witness to. Now, I recall an incident where a group of soldiers (Abu Ghraib ring a bell?) who DIDN'T report the truth of what was going on got in big trouble. Talk about mixed messages. They said they were afraid to tell, afraid because their superiors would get them in trouble. SO WHICH IS IT? WHICH DO WE WANT?
Back to the news media---they ran over and over the tape about the airport, all the while saying how bad it was to expose this to terrorists. Oh, I get it, when YOU tell, then it is "news."
Instead of President Obama stepping up and dealing with the laxes in security both in our military and airports, instead of him condemning the bad-mouthing and ingenious actions of our politicians/diplomats, he too went left the messengers out to be slaughtered. What about that "transparency" thing, Obama? Sure sounded good.
Maybe the soldier didn't know the difference between lies and "politics/diplomacy" games. I sure as hell don't. We don't deal with other countries in true friendship, it is all about what each country can get from the other. One giant game and the toy soldiers are real people. Brainwashing young men and women to believing otherwise is a sorry excuse for "honor."
What happened to whistle blower protections? Look at the stock market rise! Remember how low it got? Yet, the rich had plenty of money to buy cheap and they are dancing in dough now, while the majority of Americans are still jobless, job-poor, or in debt to their eyeballs. Oh, the dirt that built all the CEOs back up. Regulations-smegulations! One big joke to them, always a loop hole or back that needs scratchin' somewhere. WikiLeaks threaten to expose the lies of banks!? HA! That was more difficult than exposing a country!
Soo...back to airport security, any corrections been made? I thought showing prisoners how any attempt to escape is thwarted was one of the first things they learn, keeps them inside and been working pretty good. We can't tell the terrorists that because WE DON'T HAVE IT. The 911 Report showed that, made recommendations, but, hey, what? Us worry?
If you live by threats alone, you will die by your deceptions. No laughing matter.
