The key to waging a successful war is to prevent secret information from falling into the hands of the enemy, yet it must be done without keeping the native population in the dark as well.

Robert Bridge needs to know that the more the U.S military goes "secretive," on how it conducts wars the greater chances of more wikileak incidences. For critical analysis on this, readers may want to read a brilliant piece by Simon Jenkins at today’s edition of the Guardian. No offense, but Robert Bridge will do well by writing up well developed analytic essays rather than cranking up hastily written pieces. I must admit one of the weakest links of RT English is it poor commentary. RT analytic commentary is terrible.

My question, where is the Whistleblower Act. I think that we, the citizens of the United States has the right to know what is happening in our government. If the government doesn't want the citizens of this land to know, then they need to control internet access of any news. I agree that no other country needs to know, but we, the citizens of this land should be allowed the right to know. Aren't we the land of the free?

How naive some people are. Can we not open our eyes and see the writting on the wall. U.S. Government will try and use this leak as a security threat to our national security and want to take control of the internet, which would be a violation against our right to freedom of speech. Let me ask this how many of your rights are you willing to give up to feel safe and secure? I will give my answer of none. The Coporate U.S. Government will continue using their scare tactics to remove more and more of your rights until you have unwittingly given all of them up. The U.S. Government is not for the people as they are to be, they pass laws against our Constitution which is illegal. Laws for our nation are to be written by Congress for the people, they give control of our economics to a private banking firm called the Federal Reserve, which again is against the Constitution. Again they collect an income tax on your wages, which is not an income, it is a compensation for your labor. An income is derived from profits or gain, so how is a compensation for your labor a profit or a gain. This again is against the Constitution of putting a direct tax on your wages. so America open your eyes and take back your country from the Corporate Government.

Yes, Americans are naive.  They have been lulled into sleep by the many technological gadgets.  A new "toy" nearly monthly.  The masses walk, talk, sleep with gadgets.  They're eyes and ears are glued to either social networks with there are  neverending assorted unrealistic dramas, or better yet, glued to the dozens of "reality TV shows" to take them out of reality.  When the TV is out of the question, they walk down the busy streets, highways and byways with their heads bent and thumbs flying across the keys of their blackberrys as they text one another.  No one knows how to talk face to face anymore. 

These are the people of America.  They are being netted by the millions by a government all too eager to catch them and dump the into a giant fishbowl where they can be watched, monitored, listened to, taken care of and fed whatever the government wishes for them to know.  America is no longer the land of the free.  America is the most feared nation on earth by the people of other countries.  The world's governments themselves do not fear, because America has been buying them for decades.  But the tentacles of America are far reaching and are indeed to be feared, by the people, for they are coming to a country near you with their war on the elusive "terrorists" that they cannot find, because they are looking through the eyes of one themselves.  May God have mercy.
