24. "Child predators don't make the best witnesses. nt"
Charges such as this would be a great way to have max appeal for cops to 'get their man' and I'd say the only other charge to get more would be a cop killer but that would take probably too much cover up after the fact to kill one just to get one whistle blower.
I think most people have seen movies where false charges have been levied against someone who they are desperate to find and I firmly believe the FBI/CIA/NSA would AND do use such tactics.

35. This reminds me of Scott Ritter (UN Weapons Inspector) being labeled a pedophile.
I'm not saying he is/is not guilty, but painting people with that brush could be a CIA strategy to silence those who subvert the official narrative.

36. If you look at the four separate incidents about Scott Ritter......
well the CIA and the Bush administration would have had to use a time machine in order to get him.

26. Why not?
Other than, for instances, in cases that actually involve child predation?
Are 'arsonists' not the best witnesses? Murderers?
Do your abilities to witness and recognize crimes of all sorts degrade simply because you commit some other crime?
I have racked up a few speeding tickets in my time. Does that make me a 'poor witness' in terms of recognizing when other people commit crimes?

37. You do understand that there is a live minor victim involved?
My suggestion is that you read up on the facts of the case, and recognize that there is a certain advantage to the defense and playing up the CIA made me do it angle.

33. And that is the beauty of such emotional charges.
Many are ready to declare him guilty with no trial or evidence presented because it is so awful it must be true.
That is why the right wing says Obama is a Marxist socialist communist Muslim and the anti Christ all in one...people are more likely to believe the charges if they are outrageous...it is a well proven tactic by the Fascist.

8. Instead of holding their members responsible for their actions,
we instead make them presidents.
How did we allow the CIA to become such a destructive force. Instead of helping us find the people who attacked 911, they were throwing on more fuel to the fire so that reasonable minds wouldn't have the time to figure out what was going on. If this is all true, wouldn't that make the CIA co-conspirators in the attack on 911?

18. dont forget who cleaned up the senate office building.
after ordering people out of the building immediately, and ordering them to take nothing with them, a halliburton subsidiary went in and clean up.
no doubt they took a look around while they were there. probably found plenty of useful information to blackmail people with.
that said, i did read the whole story, and it does have some holes.
he said he sent copies of the thumb drives to several people, but none of them seem to be available to him now. makes me go hmmmm.
not sure what to think about the child porn bit, tho it doesnt seem to be that damning. getting teens to beat off seems sort of different from raping 5 year olds. and i agree that it is a powerful brush to tar someone with.

23. How the hell does this ridiculous bullshit have 40 recs?
Yeah... Member of elite hacktivist group steals massively incriminating evidence of government conspiracy and then *doesn't* put it on the net so anyone can see it. And only tells anyone it exists (but has now be taken by the Canadian government so nobody can look at it) after running afoul of child porn charges which were totally fabricated to persecute him!!! Even though... Well... Yeah he did travel clear across the country to visit some 14 year old kids he befriended online and had sexually explicit videos of them on his computer but it's all a frame by a shadowy government conspiracy!!!!
Bull. Shit.
Could people please not be such gullible idiots in their rush to find any reason whatsoever to point an accusing finger at Big Brother?

38. Somewhere in the DU Archives is a warning
That there was a fight going on between the forces of evil and of good for the soul of all of the intelligence agencies and whoever won would determine our future.
Since the Senior Middle East analyst manager was let go and went down with the World Trade Center it wasn't hard to guess who won. Also a list of warnings from our allies about an specific imminent attack by Ben Laden that the Administration simply ignored cause they needed 911 to invade Iraq and secure the oil for the multinationals. Nothing to do with us at all. Just our money and our children's future that was given away.
CIA met with Ben Laden six months before 911 at his hospital bed and gave him $50 million to do antidrug work.
All the Democrats had to do to defeat Bush Jr was remind people that in the closing days of his administration Daddy Bush had given away billions in gold and other commodities to his buddies in Canada and elsewhere. But by then the Democratic Party was infected and neutralized and here we are.
The world is getting ready for two centuries of pay back and I wonder if there is anywhere for an American to be safe when that happens. We who were here at the time knew it and now, sadly, all of us own it. Somebody should have stopped them. Somebody should have prosecuted them. Epic fail.
