dicksmith and Wikileaks

Over at VetVoice, dicksmith uses the arrest of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange as an excuse to call former Lieutenant Colonel Allen West a war criminal again when West expresses a concern that certain US media releases classified documents to the public endangering our national security;

It never ceases to amaze me how much these people, these teabaggers, who claim such ardent support for the Constitution, actually can’t stand the protections offered by the document. Of course, Allen West is also an admitted torturer, so I shouldn’t be surprised at his lack of principle.

But unfortunately, Allen West has some institutional support for his position. None other than the United States Air Force is blocking access to, not just Wikileaks, but sites that reported on the news of Wikileaks:

dicksmith goes on to write about the Air Force blocking certain websites, including the US media which are publishing Wikileaks material despite the danger that the material poses to national security. Maybe if dicksmith had been awake for the last week or so, he’d know that every government agency has warned their employees that accessing, linking and posting that leaked material, which is still considered classified, continues to be a crime.

Most agencies haven’t gone to the extreme that the Air Force has, but the Air Force is protecting their employees. Whether they “look silly” or not.

What looks silly is an organization which is supposed to be focused on getting recent war veterans elected to public office bashing a recent war veteran who urges the government to arrest for espionage a foreign citizen and block access to sensitive material irresponsibly posted in the public domain by an irresponsible media.

Is it any wonder that his parents named him “Richard”?
