They publicly announced that they had some pretty mind blowing shit on Russia... which they never released. This leads me to believe a) they never had it to begin with, or b) they bitched out on the execution and decided fucking with a government who might actually hurt them was a bad idea. In either case, I lose respect.
- asgard1024 13y ago> In either case, I lose respect. Really? So if a dissident decides to stop dissenting due to increased government pressure, we should lose respect to all the work he did previously? Just because he was not courageous enough to continue, someone, who didn't have the courage in the first place, will lose respect to him? Moral hypocrisy 101.
