The best way to promote online privacy is to air everyone's dirty laundry...First Sony, and now this...

At what point do people start to ask who the hell WL are, and exactly what they are trying to accomplish? Asking for a friend... Because they're acting more and more like a spy agency themselves...

when he spied on Senate computers. After that, he should have been canned for going all "NINE ONE ONE!" in defense of torture. I don't really care what happens to him.

Pro-establishment and pro-government, no matter the case. Because, who needs transparency? I'm sure our overlords know what is best.

I like to pretend that people who disagree with me are pro-establishment and pro-government (anti-anarchy?) too... as it certainly allows us the opportunity to validate our biases without adding anything of substance, regardless of who your personal overlord and savior is.

And though it may illustrate us as melodramatic, petulant children lacking relevant knowledge... well, as long as we get to call people names, that's the important thing!
