All in favor of detaining journalists or their significant others, raise your hands.

[WilliamPitt]

63. Really.

"warfle warfle" is all I hear when I hear people cheer the detention of significant others of journalists tied to leakers.

Leakers obtain documents the people need to know about. Journalists publish those documents, a la the Pentagon Papers, so the people can know the degree to which their government has gone off the rails. Both serve an absolutely vital purpose. Cheering when the significant other of a journalist is detained UNDER A FUCKING TERRORISM LAW is a disgrace.

Reflexively polishing the administration's apple is getting to be a bad habit around here, and after this most recent disgrace, anyone who does it should be ashamed of themselves...and if you actually believe or try to argue that the administration wasn't hip to this jive, I have a great big bridge to sell you right over scenic San Francisco bay.

Fascists are not all on the right. Fascists suck up to power in whatever form it presents itself.

warfle fucking warfle.
