So, let me try this…

3 NSA veterans speak out on whistle-blower: We told you so
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2013/06/16/snowden-whistleblower-nsa-officials-roundtable/2428809/

Peter Eisler and Susan Page, USA TODAY
June 16, 2013

In a roundtable discussion, a trio of former National Security Agency whistle-blowers tell USA TODAY that Edward Snowden succeeded where they failed.

When a National Security Agency contractor revealed top-secret details this month on the government’s collection of Americans’ phone and Internet records, one select group of intelligence veterans breathed a sigh of relief.

Thomas Drake, William Binney and J. Kirk Wiebe belong to a select fraternity: the NSA officials who paved the way.

For years, the three whistle-blowers had told anyone who would listen that the NSA collects huge swaths of communications data from U.S. citizens. They had spent decades in the top ranks of the agency, designing and managing the very data-collection systems they say have been turned against Americans. When they became convinced that fundamental constitutional rights were being violated, they complained first to their superiors, then to federal investigators, congressional oversight committees and, finally, to the news media.

To the intelligence community, the trio are villains who compromised what the government classifies as some of its most secret, crucial and successful initiatives. They have been investigated as criminals and forced to give up careers, reputations and friendships built over a lifetime.

Today, they feel vindicated.

JT, why in the world should Marcum have been ‘more respectful’ to the person refusing to respect his right to wear the shirt? Simply because the person was a teacher?

Comment on The Price of Silence: Supreme Court Rules That Pre-Miranda Silence Can Be Used Against Defendant To Prove Guilt by Montgomery Scott

As I recall, when the Geneva Convention was agreed upon, enemy soldiers were only required to provide three pieces of information.
NAME
RANK
SERIAL NUMBER
This SCOTUS decision has simply solidified the FACT that WE are the enemy.
When speaking to ‘law enforcment’, only provide those three things. Anything more shall be construed as ‘collaboration’.
I THINK that this is REVENGE for the former head of the IRS’s testimony, and the call for her to be brought to trial for her statements (and the misconstuing of her statements in invoking the 5th).
GEE, ya THINK?

Mary,
I don’t believe comments can be moved. If you will notice, if a comment is addressed to another commenter, one starts it off as I started this one addressed to you. If it is to a specific comment, then put the time stamp in too, like this:

“Mary, replying to your comment at 6:46PM,”

And so forth. There may be a way to move comments in WordPress, but I have no idea how to do it. Just getting them to post properly without getting caught in the spam filter has gotten to be a big deal.

Off Topic but I know there are some Sopranos fans here. James Gandolfini died today in Italy @ the age of 51 of a heart attack. If anyone saw him in Zero Dark Thirty it was obvious he had put on a lot of weight. He was perfect as Tony Soprano. And the scenes w/ him and his mom, his shrink, and his wife, were so real. Tony knew how to deal w/ men. He really struggled w/ women. Obviously the show was a huge success. However, being brought up in an Italian family there were little things that only us dagos really got. The show was recently voted the top rated tv show for writing of all time. Well deserved.

The outcome shows how BARBARIC law enforcement is in this de facto police state. If they can shoot ‘Shirley Temple’ DEAD, how many adults have been illegitimately shot in past raids? Even the real suspect needs a day in court he doesn’t try to shoot his way out, but the ‘collateral damage’ of this type of raid is way too high! WAY TOO HIGH! Go for the death penalty.

So we are no longer allowed to talk back to, or protest the actions of, a policeman? At this point free speech appears to be dead, and the police have what they want, absolute power over the rest of us. Time for a re-examination of the role of law enforcement in our society – or simply succumb to the police state. I suppose the child’s parents should the grateful that policeman Adkins did not feel “threatened” by the gun on the t-shirt and use his Glock to make the kid “stop resisting.” What a sorry pass this society has come to…

“You start out with president Bush and WMDs, It wasn’t just G.W. it was most of the federal government Republicans and Democrats from Hillary Clinton on down”

Add to that list many leaders around the globe.

Remember

1. Saddam did have WMDs at one time.
2. Saddam had a vested interest in making people think he had them. After all if you think your neighbor has nerve gas, dirty bombs, or other WMDs you tend to be nicer to them.

Points well taken, but a sleeping child was shot dead in her home, and however unintentional, the recipe-for-disaster combination of a poorly planned police raid and an action dependent reality news show was a far more likely cause of the tragic outcome than the protective behavior of the Grandmother, who reacted as ANY Grandmother predictably would.— In any event, such violent tactics should never be taken if there’s any possibility a child could be present.
Officer Weekley will undoubtedly suffer from the horrific memory of what he’s done for the rest of his life, but those who ordered him into the situation and the reality producers who heightened the frenzy should be held the most accountable. Nothing can hurt this precious child now, but the pain her family’s in is something no one deserves to know the depth of.
If the media would equally report similar deaths as soon as they occur, those in charge of these raids would not be so reckless in their planning.

Nal, you’re correct. At the 4 second mark the dog does look first, but did not move. The guy in the back looks a split second after the dog did and he is the one that began running and shoved everyone forward. It’s not the looking that saved them, it was the shoving/running.

Joy: Many in the TV industry hire both genders specifically for sex appeal, particularly when the “professionalism” required is little more than reading.

Both the men and women thus selected are fine with that, for the same reason movie stars (of both genders) are fine with being hired for having sex appeal, charisma, and being photogenic. In general, those appearing on TV (or in movies, or on stage) know that “talent” is only one box on the checklist for their hiring. I’m pretty sure the weather girls know what gets ratings, just like the male anchors know they don’t get in the door without a good voice and its hard to get hired if you weigh 400 pounds.

I find that many “professional” women fail the clothing or make-up test. This practice is rampant in our society…and not just by lawyers. Just watch the weather “babe” on evening news. Women do themselves no service in terms of the appearance of professionalism by wearing poorly-fitting, loud colored, or revealing clothing. Nor would a man. I readily acknowledge my immediate loss of respect (and trust) for anyone so dressed before me in the duties of their profession. It tells me they are insecure in their profession, using a distraction in hopes that no one will notice their incompetence; or maybe it’s just a lack of self respect; and a complete unconsciousness about how their appearance affects their results. How could a professional person be so foolish?

Clearly our founders and those they listened to were wise to continue and/or establish juries. And proof beyond a reasonable doubt. They knew that the nature of those in power, once corrupted by power, would lie and deceive at every turn (Why Trial By Jury?). The use of military trials is designed to avoid "the jury problem."
