Agree completely. Though I'd probably prefer not to have a "kill list". Killing should be limited to military personell in wars, during 'battle'. I realise the US has framed the war on terror in order to blur thos

Drone strikes, and assassinations were occurring before his reelection... So I'm not sure how anyone can argue "We didn't get a chance to vote him out"... as you actually did. While I agree with you, it is more complex t

> This guy's son was a bad enough dude that he got put on a terrorist kill list. That's exactly what I responded to. I ignored your conclusion, because of your invalid premise.

So if I decide to put someone on a kill list, there is no burden of proof on me to explain why, by killing that someone my action is righteous, legal and moral? I'm pretty sure the US constitution disagrees with that premise, and shoul

Actually I think you'll bomb a bunch of other random people (Iraq, Afghanistan), and continue to treat the responsible "country" (Saudi Arabia) as an ally and friend. Just before people rewrite history, afganistan and iraq go

Agreed, they could achieve the same thing with security cameras and facial recognition (though way more expensive I imagine). People aren't up in arms about security cameras in store.

While I agree with your premise, do you have a reference to the US authorities purchasing these.

Likely that beyond whatever punishment he receives under the judicial system, there will be little other consequence to him for his actions. People do bad things, and get away with it all the time. EDIT: Interesting aside: Just world fallac

Basis has a heart rate monitor built in... that would give more information (not sure it could tell orgasm or not, unless there is some unique heart signature after orgasm...)

No, it's disingenuous to suggest YOUR content is unrelated to the value of THEIR product. A reasonable analogy would be conferences, are you paying for the venue, or the access to other people/speakers? does that mean the people&#

Yet if there was no content, there would be no product... so they are selling your content. Which means they are just lying in their about page.

So because people filter the internet... we should self filter to get around it. That's an uncomfortable realisation for me. :-(

So it's only if an american says this that you'd report it?

Actually it is. Because everyone (the majority at least) believe in rights.

You don't have to be an American company to benefit from American policy. And I'm sure congressmen benefit from the "non-american" oil companies. The question I would like to know the answer to, is who was drilling the

Why do you "believe" in rights? They are literally constructed by us, indoctrinated even.

... I'm sorry, I really don't understand your position. Wikileaks isn't an archiving system, it's a way to publish leaks... If Wikileaks is proven to be rejecting leaks (which is unproven allegations at the moment) then

Yes, but even the choice of facts expresses an opinion. I could report how many murders were caused by black people, how many robberies by mexicans, and how much drugs by asians, Then how many illegal immigrants entered the country this mon

Are you saying that the files don't implicate 'western' companies/government? You are passing judgement on wikileaks becasue they don't have a leak... But I thought wikileaks was just an option for leaked documents,

You seem to believe this kind of corruption doesn't exist elsewhere in the world, and that P.R China is somehow unique in it's corruption. I don't agree with this. I'd say the recent wealth in china means you have very
