the only liberty lost is the one Manning attempted to take from America.

actually, now, anytime I hear liberty or da constitution, I know its like when the tea party says it and I roll my eyes

manning is a great ct'er. His eyes see dead people and billion dollar book deals. He thinks he is da superstar.

oops, sorry brad, I am not following your breadcrumbs. Here's a quarter, matter of fact, no, I need the quarter more than you. You are on your own brad.


3000 REAL people died on 9-11.
people always seem to forget that to further a politcal cause and blame this person or that person or say this theory or that. No matter which way it happened, it happened and those people died.
And so did the nation's economy for a decade due to that one singular event

remember, without 9-11 none of what followed happened

in the great wars, they hung people early and often for treason.

too bad they didn't during the 1979 Hostage crisis before Reagan won office
when people attempt to take the world in their own hands and subvert the future.

but we go forward, not backward. This case is forward.
GUILTY. and America can sleep well.

that this person can attempt to plead through the press though shows how the 1st amendment works btw.
But we don't have to either believe him or care one word what he says

It wasn't his words but his actions

and actions have consequences, and what he did makes him guilty with the top punishment accorded as such.

imho

and let's get on to more important stuff, the social issues. War is hell, but somebody gotta do it and they always will. Nothing anyone does will change that, so let's do something we can change and that is social issues.

and what should be done is to bill the perps of 9-11 and the Brad's for money wasted on defending all this. Make them pay. Make a gov't civil case against them and require they pay back the billions they defrauded us with. Does AQ have the money to do so?
