There’s no reason to trust a stranger over a known liar, at least with the liar you know what to expect.

As for Manning, he (allegedly) released many military documents which may result in the deaths of informants and allies within Afghanistan and hurts the overall operation. That could easily be considered treason, which is punishable by death.

Look, I’m against both wars and want to see us get out of them as much as any other libertarian, but we shouldn’t ignore the reality that we’re there and cheerlead people that are releasing this information just to score political points. Especially when that information could potentially harm our troops.

When I give a stripper a dollar, er, I mean when I’ve heard about my friends giving a stripper a dollar to pretend she likes them, everyone knows the transaction is really just about the cash.

My point, and I do have one, is this: Comparing a hooker to the State is insulting to hookers everwhere.
