Wikileaks has been exposing other crimes against humanity committed or facilitated by the empire of chaos. For example, Wikileaks exposed extent of the U.S involvement in the death and destruction brought to Somalia followed the 2006 U.S. sponsored regime change in Somalia. I misguided policy that brought to power the radical militant group- Al-Shabab- and utter misery to the civilian population in Somalia.The U.S will leave Afghanistan in defeat because we remember at the beginning of the U.S military campaign in Afghanistan when the U.S military decided to drop cluster bombs and packed food on desperate Afghan civilian population. Media reports showed how many Afghan children were killed because they picked shinning cluster bombs because they looked like bright toys. Robert Bridge needs to know only this: Wikileaks files I question do not change the course of the logical conclusion of U.S military defeat in Afghanistan. The U.S troops went Afghanistan to get hold of Osama Bin Laden “dead or alive” and not occupy that country. We know that was a lie.

Everybody knows that the CIA is guarding the poppy fields as a source of income to the extent that they prevent Russia from defoliating them. The drug traffic goes on with "customers" in Russia, USA and everywhere else. This is one of the ways to pay for the "Road to Empire". Thank you RT for supplying me with the need to know information. As Assange says himself, he isn't releasing that isn't already known, only putting it in a readable context. America's "Iron curtain" is doing a good job keeping it from the populace while it's propaganda machines are stimulating for the desired response.

Wikileaks is only doing what the press/media is supposed to be doing.  How are the people to learn what the hell is going on with their public servants?

 

I'd like to call attention to Walker's comments. "Isn't it against the law."  I dissent, the law is the Constitution.  The other stuff (so-called law) is lesser and must comply.  They are mere statutes.  The law, Constitution, I challenge you to demonstrate an express power to ban drugs.

 

After all, some of you will remember the 18th amendment.  This was  a full amendment to the Constitution granting explicit power to the civil servants to ban alcohol.  Where is the one for drugs?

 

Shouldn't we the people know the "LAW" to hold our servants accountable?
