UCMJ is pretty clear on this. Treason is punishable by death. He knew what he was doing, and knew it was in violation of the UCMJ. The UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice) supercedes the Constitution for Military personnel and those under Martial Law. Moral Right or Wrong does not apply. Personally, I think he should be executed as he put his fellow soldiers at risk, in addition to others Americans.

Are you seeing your account disabled due to a "perceived" violation of the TOS? What recourse is there to this issue? Whatever happened to "Don't be evil?"

Ontario School Bans Wi-Fi 287
St. Vincent Euphrasia elementary school in Meaford, Ont. is the latest Canadian school to decide to save its students from the harmful effects of Wi-Fi by banning it. Schools from universities on down have a history of banning Wi-Fi in Ontario. As usual, health officials and know-it-all scientists have called the move ridiculous. Health Canada has released a statement saying, "Wi-Fi is the second most prevalent form of wireless technology next to cell phones. It is widely used across Canada in schools, offices, coffee shops, personal dwellings, as well as countless other locations. Health Canada continues to reassure Canadians that the radiofrequency energy emitted from Wi-Fi equipment is extremely low and is not associated with any health problems."

It is only journalism when you report both sides,anything less is biased or propaganda. Wikileaks is not posting both sides, but only information collected by the US. Where are the reports on what the Taliban do to innocents in the name of their unholy war?

Snails On Methamphetamine 93
sciencehabit writes "Science answers the question: What happens when you put a snail on speed? From the article: 'The results suggest that meth improves memory, something that has been previously observed in creatures with large, complex brains like rats and humans. But since the snails store their memories in a simple, three-neuron network, the team hopes that studying the meth effect in these gastropods will help pinpoint how the drug's memory magnification powers work.'"
