5. So she feels that someone looking at her illegal underwear
is an attack??
Funny, I am America and I do not feel that I was attacked.
Perhaps if they did more things in the open we would let them have some of their secrets.
I feel politicians put us more at risk of attack........

7. This from someone who set spies on the UN. Pathetic CYA.

9. Bunkum, Hilary. At this juncture honesty is your best policy.
States craft has always involved these tactics, we know it, you know it. Now, we know more of the specifics in a more timely manner. I would love to hear about the Bush Co interactions with the Saudis. Any chance those are included?

14. Yes, and they need to just suck it up and move forward, hopefully with a better understanding.
Secrecy is our enemy, their enabler. It holds us all back.

10. She's right in the sense
this is an attack on 'her world'. That's the world where those with education, money and power are allowed to lie, cheat and steal from the rest of us with impunity. I'm sure it is very disturbing to those in power that they can no longer expect to totally control the flow of information and that their lies and obfuscations will be exposed to the public.

12. How would this situation be different if "we" had not Invaded & Occupied Iraq?
- an assault upon a sovereign nation
- and an assault upon the people of this land that is called the USA.

Sorry, Secretary Clinton, but you all asked for it.

18. The Iraq War was an attack ont he international community, Hilary, and
you fucking voted for it. You tasked diplomats with spying on other diplomats at the U.N. and you dare to talk about an attack on the international community. Give me a break, you fucking war pig.
