What Do You Think?

And the threats to oppress and censer free press gets raised to a new higher level.

One has to wonder are they really worried about protecting everyone’s safety or to protect the “dirty secrets” that would be embarrassing to so many governments and and government officials.

As it has been said so many times before:

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth whether about the president or anyone else; …."--Theodore Roosevelt

During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

“The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.”

THE publication of classified papers stolen by Edward Snowden that could endanger the lives of military and intelligence personnel can be defined as an act of terrorism, lawyers for MI5 told the British High Court yesterday.

Journalists in possession of such material were not in a position to know how damaging publication could be because they did not have the full intelligence "jigsaw".
