Spambot of the day
Shameless sycophant spambot: Can I just say what a relief to find someone who actually knows what theyre talking about on the internet. You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people need … Continue reading →
Wikileaks on Afghanistan
The story du jour—and for probably quite a few more jours—is the Wikileaks dump of classified information on the war in Afghanistan. Revealing previously classified information about ongoing wars has become a sort of cottage industry, with the word “classified” … Continue reading →
