    how odd that you fancy yourself an authority on the U.S. constitution.

    Oh, well, don't take my word.

    Laurence Henry Tribe (born October 10, 1941) is a professor of constitutional law at Harvard Law School and the Carl M. Loeb University Professor at Harvard University.

    OH WAIT, sorry, I have to check if he got to his position with his Cherokee blood.

    You have legitimate grounds to attack the administration elsewhere. You just choose to snivel up with those neck high in pigs**t in your ridiculous quest to defame the administration with mostly trivial material. And the truth for why you do that is because on the very worst of the administration's sins, you feel uncomfortable admitting that you are in alignment with them.

    leaking top secret material for the basest of political goals is "trivial?"

    Yep.

    Because this s**t shouldn't be top secret in the first place.

    Hiding corruption, and government abuses of powers in that veil? Yeah, that kinda crosses the line from trivial.

    I guess it's an improvement on your blowjob thread though.

    (This is where you make a wisecrack about how I'm Canadian, because you've run out of points, and you just lost against 250 of the leading legal scholars in America.)

    cyber ops against iran should not be secret? operational details of the bin laden raid should be public?

    The people should know what their government is up to, because in the end, crazies will hold them liable, and it's their tax money that funds the agencies. The American people should consider whether it is in their interest for the government to pursue such activities. There is no point in obscuring these details away, unless you're of the CCP "Big Brother" bent. It's an open secret, in any case, that Stuxnet was American and Israeli in origin, probably the worst kept secret of all time, second only to Chinese cyber-hacking---which if honestly, if the CCP ever wanted to be transparent about it, no one would care, because everyone more or less knows anyways.

    Osama is dead. What the hell is the point of keeping operations to kill him secret, especially considering how unorthodox the raid was?

    Anyways, basso, no comment about how you fecklessly don't observe the Constitution, if it doesn't fit your convenience to do so? I don't hear very much criticism of the treatments of either Manning or Drake.

    i'm focused on not getting americans killed. exposing seal team 6 they way the admin did puts them, and their families, at risk, stuxnet details, particularly those that show how it was carried out, make it much less likely future efforts will be successful.

    if you'd had your way, D-Day, when and where, would have been an open secret.

    the first rule of fight club...

    Uh, D-Day after D-Day was kind of pretty known. That's why we have Saving Private Ryan.

    If you had your way, we still wouldn't know what the hell happened, 80 years later.

    Of course, I never said anything about before the raid, but if I have to spell these things out to you, this pointless discussion verges somewhere from at least somewhat amusing, to plain exasperating.

    you think cyber ops against iran were/are a one-and-done scenario?

    Americans should know all about this new frontier of quasi-war.

    The average American, the working class that is the primary source of military recruiting, are largely the ones who fund it, and the ones who will hold their necks out if there's any retaliation.

    The government belongs to the people, and not the other way around, ******* it.

    Let's be real too. A virus that shuts down industrial turbines for a nuclear program? Yeah, Iran will definitely think that's Anonymous just having fun, even if they already don't have their sources on who's doing what.

    So, I can see where this is headed.

    =IF (poster="basso", post $36, " ")

    and with that I can leave this thread automated for every response of yours from now.

    You climbed a mountain that was far too high, and then found out you couldn't fly.

    I'm through educating you on your own constitution, macroeconomics looks next. Throw your crap into your other thread. You can't even end off when you have no more points with obscure references to Canada because, as far as I know it, macroeconomics applies in both countries.
