He should be tried for treason and when found guilty (not if), it wouldn't bother me in the least if he were executed. That's all I have to say on this subject.

And the President leaking the names of the Seal Team members that risked their lives to get Osama Bin Laden all of them now dead shouldn't be prosecuted and what you wrote just the same?

I don't think he can get done for treason for leaking to a newspaper. Treason would be leaking info to the Russian secret service. In fact with all the hacking that seems to be taking place lately, it would be hard to try anyone for treason because one can gather information without paying some informant mole out for it.

I think he deserves a little respect for the fact that he has risked everything to become what he may end up being a 'marked man'. Once the truth is out that people want to know about & has caused international public anger & embarrassed the Obama administration - what would be the point of it all? The best he can hope for is asylum- I don't think he will ever see home again. There will be people who will be keeping an eye on him, both CIA and his supporters. Given the world attention this has generated, if anything happened to him there will be a lot of questions being asked..


Solidbody- I fully agree with you on that comment. Also it's hard to fathom the seal member who 'pulled the trigger' is going through hardship as he isn't eligible for support..

Apparently this story is nothing new. Wired magazine broke it last year, but I guess nobody paid attention. http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/03/ff_nsadatacenter/

Don't think he'll be taking life tips from someone posting on the Fender Lounge Forum

Terrorism is bullshit.

I'm not afraid to walk around alone at night, and certainly not afraid to live within a few miles of the nation's capital. (which was speculated to be a major target of 9/11, as I'm sure you guys know.)

I'm going to encourage you guys to march on the 4th of July, along with thousands of others in the US. The 4th amendment was instated to protect us from power, and apparently it has failed.

Check your history - it was XPres Bush who signed it into law just after 9/11. Your a little late to the party.

Obama was the Prez that took the telecommunications snooping to the next level. Just as they used the IRS to hold off groups apposing them in the elections, Nixon got in trouble just for suggesting the use of IRS.
Nixon went down for bugging an office and now Obama has bugged the nation!

Reality shows this is the least transparent Executive branch there has been. The administration does not believe in the 4th and the 2nd Amendment

I wonder what right the NSA have to gather intelligence on me and a couple of billion others whom they have no jurisdiction or power over?
Perhaps they ought be tried for treason? Which incidentally still carries the death sentence here.

Perspective, it's a wonderful thing.

Niki, I had a dream the other night that the carpenters union was building a gallows on the white house lawn big enough to hang a dozen of these criminals at a time, and I have tickets for the front row. If only :lol:
