re: #59 Killgore Trout

Yeah, He was being a dick about it. He’s also horribly wrong about wikileaks and Anonymous.
My family served in the State Dept my entire life and my father lost his life in the line of duty. I find it reprehensible to see people voicing support for espionage. It’s dangerously stupid.

My other comment would be that it is not clear to me why people are treating diplomatic cables - essentially Foreign Service “pillow talk” - as bare truth. Shell has infiltrated Nigeria? What does that even mean? Is that any different than saying the Tobacco Lobby has infiltrated the US? Where is the research to follow up statements that were speculative in nature and never meant to be public?
