Imagine building something and losing your influence over it to the rest of the world.
BUT on the same token, would you have been ok with an in-absentia trial, even if just a sham/show-trial?
Thats SoP for the Feds/police after a major event.
Round up the usual suspects and grill them down.
I wish there was another, less controversial candidate to debate USA's killing of its citizens.
I don't condone the US's actions, but I sure as hell understand the reasoning for doing it.
ALSO, don't forget that he renounced his citizenship and Yemen tried him in-absentia.
Its pretty much confirmed IMO that the Saudi's probably were behind the whole thing.
Which is odd because they have a serious history of state-backed terrorism and islamic expansion throughout the world.
Other nations wouldn't have it so lucky.
I'm sure stuff like this is why Cynthia McKinney just said to hell with it all...
The links are just blatantly obvious at this point.
We've got names. meeting dates. money transfers. travel itineraries. communication logs.
It ALL spell's "HOUSE OF SAUD"
The Saudi's have a history with this sort of behavior.
Their islamically led ideas of expansion have been around since the 18th century and oil is their vehicle of perpetuating that meme.
they're politicizing the very leaking they're doing.
If I have 5 items, there are 4 spaces between them.
If I add a 6th item, then there are...5 spaces between them.
They'll always move the goal posts because they don't understand the mechanism you're trying to explain.
Yeah thats not going to get you very far.
Isn't that the basis of ALL war?
1. His spouse was a courier.
2. Greenwald and Poitras MADE IT KNOWN he was a courier and often said that they were using Miranda as a way to prevent themselves from being caught with information on their bodies.
3. The Guardian was paying for his flights...and who knows what else. (Can't fully trust them since it took them damn near 2 months to reveal the GCHQ came to pay them a visit)
4. If you travel with stuff stolen from the government...shit gets real...really fast.
Why lie or omit information Glenn? The situation is bad enough. Stop trying to paint this as some sort of "journalistic transgression" when in fact Miranda (and Glennd and Poitras) should have known to not fly through one of the busiest airports in Europe AND one of the nations actively trying to stifle that information.
Considering the SHEER LEVEL OF PROTECTION Poitras admits to using... (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/18/magazine/laura-poitras-sno...) ...there is NO reason why they allow this to sloppily happen.
Either Miranda was meant to get caught...or they're just being lazy.
