Whooey!
I'd say a number of senior people on this list are burnt out fighting the good fight.
Did the government at least acknowledge it fucked up in the Weaver case to the tune of $3.1 million?
Nope, as a matter of fact the Administration was just arguing before the SC that the murders in this case should not be held accountable.
Didn't the person in charge, who Freeh promoted to second-in-command at the FBI, have his career destroyed?
One scapegoat and the organization goes on, business as usual. When I see a 100,000 citizens storm the J.E.Hoover Building and drag that ratbastard Freeh out by his heals then come back and tell us what a difference you have made.
Didn't the government finally back down on their attempt to legally kill the Unabomber?
So what? IMHO he should have been fried. Hell I'll even pay for the plane ticket for him to come down here and meet 'ol sparky. :)
Didn't the Pentagon Papers make it out?
What did it change? NOTHING
Isn't ECHELON documented by person after person, including someone formerly in DOJ with top-secret clearance?
Go for it!
It is *you* who are advocating being a "sheeple"!!!
No not at all I just don't have any pie-in-the-sky daydreams that it will mean squat! I have better things to do with my time than dealing with a news media who's highest goal is to sell more tampons and toilet paper to the sheeple. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
