"Wikileaks is publishing stolen material. They are guilty of aiding the criminal who copied confidential information. For this they must be prosecuted in civil courts. The soldier who stole the material will be tried by court martial."

Did not the person who 'stole' the Pentagon Papers have the US Supreme Court back the right to have such information released to the Public Domain. Did he not serve any jail time? Was he not Pardoned? Did not any person who 'aided' him receive no penalty?


Those who refuse to learn from the lessons of History are condemned to make us all go thru them again, the stupid selfish bastards!


:-P
