get to watch it)

GG stated that there are still thousands of documents that haven't been released as of yet because of security concerns. Wikileaks is pissed because newspapers are still sitting on these docs. There are so many that they have to be researched first to make sure that no one dies.

I thought dude from Vets Organization was rude as hell - aggressive, only he is right, etc., wouldn't let anyone else speak. I think the surprising thing is how much he was defending the NSA and croaking their line about "american's dying" - like GG said, where are the bodies if this is true? When Where and How?

I yelled - go watch the PBS Frontline special United States of Secrets - it's all people in the gov't covering their asses and has absolutely nothing to do with 'security.'

More CYA happening on NSA and it looks like they have a new spokes model.

No he didn't. Maher introduced Paul as the likely candidate. Greenwald was largely mute Luminous Animal Jun 2014 #86

Greenwald's comment was that many neo-cons are now supporting Hillary. Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin Jun 2014 #92

Does this Rieckhoff support the U.S. wars of aggression? JackRiddler Jun 2014 #67

Sen. Mike Rogers (R) would say the same things. JackRiddler Jun 2014 #68

The intellectual discourse in this thread is, um, lacking. neverforget Jun 2014 #76

Except this is Greenwald's method of debate, as Rieckhoff pointed out. joshcryer Jun 2014 #78

Both sides are doing it on this thread. That's what I am saying. neverforget Jun 2014 #85

I'm not disagreeing. joshcryer Jun 2014 #121

Mired in personalities again I see... randys1 Jun 2014 #77

Rieckhoff was rude. Obviously hadn't read Greenwald's book. Thinks because he's fought, he's right. ancianita Jun 2014 #79

"Rieckhoff was rude"? Oh right.. of course.. GG was a model of decorum and it's everyone Cha Jun 2014 #89

You mad? I didn't say he didn't have a right to voice his opinion. He shut out other opinions. ancianita Jun 2014 #103

Paul Rieckoff was right.. and I thank him for standing up for the truth.. Cha Jun 2014 #108

Please explicitly state what Rieckhoff said that was "standing up for the truth." ancianita Jun 2014 #115

Intelligent questions, sure; not presumptuous questions like "why is Snowden hiding" in Russia. ancianita Jun 2014 #106

"Bullshit" was the one and only interruption. And it was the right response, too. Please tell me all ancianita Jun 2014 #104

"Bullshit" was Rude.. but of course the fans give the slithery one a pass on that. Cha Jun 2014 #129
