(62,325 posts)When their own attorney, the one who supports a man tax because every man is responsible for rape, just an aside, admitted himself that this case could never be won. I think most people have now concluded what many suspected from the beginning, all they wanted was to try to discredit the one news organization that stepped in to the void in journalism and report the truth. That CIA memo published by Wikileaks where they planned to do this, to 'get him caught in a sex scandal' told the whole story. So few were surprised when it happened.
I see he's running for office in Australia. He's extremely popular there and the puppet PM disgraced herself when she lied about Wikileaks and was forced to retract the statements she made, obviously read from a memo given to her by her handlers.
The more they play this game, the more popular and the more support Wikileaks has around the world. We are so insulated here, so ignorant of how we are viewed elsewhere and how little credibility we have. And those who do our dirty work for us, such as the Right Wing Gov of Sweden, friends of Karl Rove, have pretty much lost all of theirs also.
But hey, keep hoping, although why any Democrat would wish to see a news organization like Wikileaks which exposes war criminals, something we longed for during the Bush years, is a mystery to me, well sort of a mystery I suppose would be a better way of putting it.
