Releasing the details of the investigation against him would help prove or disprove whether or not his investigation is being handled properly. So, why didn't he release the evidence against him? In most courts, this would be provided to him so he could prepare his defense. Maybe it would be illegal to release it or make Assange look bad. Hmmm...

So... did someone else launch a natural satellite?

So, you're suggesting that less people would have been killed if they had gotten the bomb through screeners and on an airplane? Brilliant analysis!

In the military system, legal counsel is free of charge whether or not you can afford it. And with a high profile case like this, I'm sure they'll appoint someone very senior. If you want to pay for a civilian lawyer, usually they are former military lawyers, or they're not well suited for military court. I wouldn't donate to this even if you want to defend Bradley Manning.

I think what the original poster was referring to was if you give consent and they find evidence of the murder, then they are taking the items even if you revoke consent on your way out the door. No judge is going to allow you to search a home days after the fact if the person just gave you permission to "conduct a search of your house."

If airlines were so hurt by websites like Expedia, then you'd think they'd inform users that they could get better prices if they just went to the AA website. But every time I've tried finding a flight on Expedia, and then going and finding the same flight on AA, the price is outrageously high with AA. Really, I think it's like TV networks fighting netflix and Hulu (on TV boxes), the networks want to divide up the market and overcharge you for crap you don't want, and Netflix just makes it too convenient for people to get what they want at the lowest price. Same thing with Expedia, services like that need to stick around.

My chatbot, Suzette, won this year's Loebner and even confused a judge into voting for her over a human (or should I say he confused himself). Here is the blow-by-blow of this weird event.

Bot intended to fool humans into thinking it's a human accomplishes its task. Weird event...

Man, I thought people would actually go look up the video instead of modding me down and disagreeing with me. Here's the link:http://winteryknight.wordpress.com/2010/04/06/investigation-shows-rpgs-and-rpg-rounds-found-at-collateral-murder-site/

You'll see that RPGs were discovered at the site and one is visible on the footage. The irony is slashdotters are not better at "camera or RPG?" than the pilots who they condemn.

So was the intel leak a bombshell dropping on Beaver Cleaverville? Or did it show that the US Government actually managed to write 50,000 reports about the war in Afghanistan without a mention of CIA kidnappings or that Osama Bin Laden is being kept alive as a US propaganda effort?

While the Pentagon may have done a poor job of mentioning "hey this wasn't actually particularly damaging," Wikileaks has yet to admit that the troops in Afghanistan are fighting a decent war. They also never mentioned that in the "Collateral Murder" the group that was gunned down was in fact an insurgent RPG team that the news crew had teamed up with (don't believe me, go find the RPG in the video before thinking I'm referring to the camera).

I want to get rid of cable and use one of these boxes, but I want to be able to download shows, or alternatively, play downloaded video. Also, I want to be able to use a real keyboard. Can you recommend a device that would most easily accomplish this? Thanks.
