fortunately, we don't do justice by opinion poll!

also, if we poll the world, which is the relevant population, i have little doubt that the majority is not for putting him on trial. generally, i suspect folks are very grateful that he revealed a major league bad actor on the internet.

but how many would put the us on trial for various crimes? torture (whoops, enhanced interrogation)? illegal surveillance (excuse me, total information awareness)? assassination (i mean the drone programme)? kidnapping (er, secret rendition)?

looks like a bit of a pattern, doesn't it?

the surprising thing is the number of democrats who were against such things when bush was president and who are for them under obama.

i'm trying to figure what might have changed their minds. Wink

Yep......kill the whisleblowers!

Taken down from Change.gov....

"Protect Whistleblowers: Often the best source of information about waste, fraud, and abuse in government is an existing government employee committed to public integrity and willing to speak out. Such acts of courage and patriotism, which can sometimes save lives and often save taxpayer dollars, should be encouraged rather than stifled. We need to empower federal employees as watchdogs of wrongdoing and partners in performance. Barack Obama will strengthen whistleblower laws to protect federal workers who expose waste, fraud, and abuse of authority in government. Obama will ensure that federal agencies expedite the process for reviewing whistleblower claims and whistleblowers have full access to courts and due process."
