I wonder who the article writer has been asking--his grandparents? Fox news? Because Snowden's been vindicated in the eyes of virtually everyone that doesn't bathe in television.

"Try fact"? That such a wall would disrupt the ecology and water movement of the area is an undeniable fact, so undeniable that you didn't even attempt to argue with it. That such a wall would be a good idea is little more than your empty wishing.

You're right that paypal is not a moral actor. Their freezing of wikileaks' donations account over pressure from the government was bullshit.

Who cares abouy Russian trolls when slashdot already has its share of government shills (cold fjord), telecom / cable shills (Sarten X), and fossil fuel shills? Russia is the least of our worries when it comes to disinfo.

Our banks don't comply with laws, either--or was that you point in mentioning how paypal acts like a bank? At least paypal can't fuck up when processing your morgage, and then illegally forclose on you as a result.. (not defending paypal)

He's totally right that building a wall would be a garish ecological disaster. Sorry to see that your attention span was too tiny to get to that part.

Remember, whether it's immigrants or Guantanamo prisoners: if it's good enough for Them, then it's good enough for Us.

"The only prisoners sent to Guantanamo were people known or believed to be members of al Qaida, or its affiliates."

Wow, I knew you were a shill but I wouldn't expect you'd stoop so low as to defend who all was captured and sent to gitmo. "Believed to be" al Qaeda? You mean, like this man and his three children, who were sent there because his surname *sounded similar* to that of an al Qaeda member?

He didn't deserve gitmo, but you do, as you have a career of whitewashing and justifying the suffering of innocents.

But they have to get rid of it somehow, and given the US' recent record of irradiating Iraqis (see: fallujah), i wouldm't be surprised.

As for the retroactivity, do you seriously think that dragjnet data-gathering like the NSA practices on every single one of us is meant to be used *proactively*? Are you going to tell me it'll just be used to target terr'roists?

Even assuming you're right, you seriously think "interception of communications" meant the same thing in the 90s that it does now?
