Harleyman Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Is that false, or in any way misleading? Is it bad that the rest of the world knows that Ahmadinejad knows this? He's dismissed the whole thing as a US disinformation programme. No but it gives him some feeling of legitimacy in developing nuclear weapons using the "threat from outside" excuse. I expect that he will now speed up the process even further towards achieving the ambition of successfully building the first nuclear bomb.

Lotusflower Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 If he was guided by conscience then he would have either not done it at all, or only stolen pertinent data. I really don't know what his motives were which is why I highlighted the word may. I have to say, if it was an act of conscience then I take my hat off to the man. I have respect for anyone who follows the dictates of their own conscience rather than be a machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halibut Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 You certainly have a penchant for complicating and twisting the obvious. I'll give you that much Anyway to unmuddle you: Manning was a member of the military. Swore an oath of loyalty to his commander in chief and his country when he signed up He was placed in a position of high trust. He committed an act of high treason. Had it been in wartime he would have faced a firing squad Conscience stronger than blind loyalty? What a load of crap. He had a beef against the military for some personal reason What a very strange way of thinking. I bet they'd love you in North Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you never served in the military Swami. I could see you sneaking off across no man's land to the enemy dugouts after an "attack of consience". Nothing more despicable than a traitor when all is said and done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traitor is a very loaded term. One man's traitor is anothers righteous follower of conscience, doing the right thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
