Parent obviously cares about the truth, evidenced by their references. It is amazing to me how so many freely thinking individuals can completely disregard the importance of free speech. How many of your references would be visible to a Chinese citizen? Doesn't the fact that we can discuss the US government's misdeeds on their own soil mean anything to you?

- Chiba-City 6y agoThe French wisely censor American broadcast "media." Broadcast lies never delineates "free speech." I went to Harvard. I have written paychecks for former NSA employees. I have friends and family at the World Bank, Reuters and NYT. They are paid handsomely to lie, with "talking points" dictated by CIA at Langley.
- jryle70 6y agoReally? So CBS News apparently didn't get paid by CIA when they expose Abu Ghraib scandal [0], and NYT must have forgotten about that as well when they partnered with the Guardian to publish Edward Snowden's leak [1]. Those are two of the biggest reveals of the last two decades. Talking about Snowden, I have always wondered why there's never been a Chinese whistleblower. Nobody working in Chinese intelligence has the courage or conscience, or they have no way to let the world know?
