I doubt that any of us (myself included) could have given a more thoughtful answer under the circumstances.

Please, for the love of Gawd, speak for yourself.

Good point. It is wrong that the Obama administration engaged in espionage.

Julian Assange, has accused Hillary Clinton of espionage while meeting other diplomats at the United Nations. Assange, who interviewed with “Time” magazine from an undisclosed location Tuesday, said he felt Clinton should step down from her Secretary of State position “if it can be shown that she was responsible for ordering U.S. diplomatic figures to engage in espionage in the United Nations.”

Sorry to disappoint you, but she is no Miss South Carolina.

In her defense, this is not as dumb as calling Assange the Martin Luther King or even Daniel Ellsberg.

under conditions that are probably about as psychologically stressful as a police interrogation

If you had just left this phrase off, your point would have come off much stronger and your supporters on the thread, less obsequious.

As it is, it’s quite a tell, and so phrases like “in either case, your criticism is unfair” and “lighten up!” become revealed for the dismissive constructs they are. Just another encouragement to ignorance.

The stress created by the reward/punishment structure of a police interrogation is similar to that of a premiere beauty pageant? I’d like to see that tested. We’ll need access to a wide range of interrogations of course. Like we’re supposed to.

As for Miss America’s opinion, it sounds like her educational track is one of cheerful obedience. She already decided to put her flesh in the service of the private national interest, why not leave her mind to the will of the secret one?

But first I posted up the video and watched the debate take place on youtube, too.

If you can help me clean up this audio, please contact me on Youtube!

But seriously, she’s a beauty pageant contestant. Did you expect her to have anything but the social values that appeal to that demographic of viewer?

Look at her.

There is a part of this country that believes we should all be like her.

And she’s dancing for them.

This is what right wing Christian anti-sex strippers look like.

Hey, ur in the spotlight, heres a loaded question, we know the answer we want to hear, and if u answer wrong well drag u through the mud in every lamestream media outlet we own, which is almost all of them. were politically motivated by a chain of collusion, bribed politicians, and political goals, as well as a series of products and services were selling, so dont u dare even mumble a contrary thought…. so, whats your answer?

im just so glad we have things like boing boing and wikileaks or rupert murdock would be grinding us into paste to keep that dessicated zombie he calls a body shambling for another millenium

it just seems that their opinion unduly influenced this particular post.

I don’t think that you quite get what a blog is.

Espionage is another word for spying, as in, the state sponsored act of getting secret information from another state. The cablegate information was procured through subterfuge, but to call it espionage is a massive stretch. If Manning had leaked it to his KGB handlers, then yeh, fair enough, but as it stands it’s a leak of stolen information, nothing more, nothing less.
