When George Bush led us into a war because of WMD’s and claiming they “hate our freedom” he lied. The truth is we were attacked because of corrupt measures these people take to insure an unevenl playing field for big money corporations back home. I’ve read cables about Sony and Disney playing a huge part in re-writing Spain’s copyright laws. Today I read about Shell infiltrating Nigerian govt. We also see that China and the US blocked the progress of climate talks. Soon we will learn about BofA and coverups in the BP oil spill. There is some funny gossip about foreign leaders and secret drug and alcohol parties in Saudi Arabia, but the gossip doesnt compare to the illegal actions the US is taking around the globe. And not to keep us safe. The argument that we are just so small minded to be able to know the truth of what is going on is just absurd. We live in a democracy where facts and information help us make better decisions about who we vote for and the direction we want our country to go in. I could support the argument that secrets should be kept secret, if they were acting legally. But the powers that be are upset about this leak because it is embarrassing and proves what many people have thought for a long time. We are told that the US is the greatest country and I am ashamed of what I’ve found out. I respectfully 100% disagree with your post here and I will keep coming back for the music.
