As is now well documented (http://www.salon.com/2011/05/16/whistleblowers_6/), the Obama administration has waged an unprecedented war on whistleblowers, prosecuting more of them under espionage statutes than all prior administrations combined: twice as many as all prior administrations combined (http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2012/04/obama-has-prosecuted-more-whistleblowers-than-all-other-presidents-combined.html), in fact. They are attempting, or have attempted, to imprison whistleblowers who exposed corrupt and illegal NSA eavesdropping (http://www.thenation.com/article/161376/government-case-against-whistleblower-thomas-drake-collapses), dangerously inept efforts to impede Iran’s nuclear program (which likely strengthened it (http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-501363_162-57436895/federal-appeals-panel-to-hear-cia-leak-case/)), the destructive uses of torture (http://www.whistleblower.org/blog/42-2012/1894-the-truth-about-the-espionage-act-prosecution-against-whistleblower-john-kiriakou), and a litany of previously unknown (http://www.salon.com/2010/12/24/wikileaks_23/) U.S.-caused civilian deaths and other American war crimes.

Leaks are bad, unless it's for propaganda films! :rolleyes:

I seriously want to smack all the stupid hope-and-change liberals so hard. So, so hard.

What is worse is police arresting people for filming police under wiretapping laws meaning they are trying to make a crime to bear whiteness to police activities.
