    I, for one, disagree with government secrets being posted or made available to the public in any way. There is a reason we have them as secrets, and that is to protect the security of our country and those living in it. That does not fix the question, "what should be secret" or "who decides". In the past our country has kept "secrets" that were just dumb and not associated with national security. But I dont want our war technology, communications technology, and other sensitive information leaked. If you live in the United States and care about the security of your home and your country, you shouldn't want it leaked either.

    As far as illegal wrongdoings of private corporations, or the government for things that are not of a national security concern, we need whistleblowers to keep blowing the whistle. Companies need to be held accountable for their illegal, immoral, and unethical actions, and its up to the individuals inside that company to make sure that happens. On the flip side, if a rogue employee posted incorrect information in an effort to "smear" the good name of the corporation, or government office, that person should be subject to legal action.

    Just my grumpy 2 cents.

      I am with you on classified. Now I do giggle at the fact that some administrations classify used Kleenex.
      As far as exposing corruption, amen.

      Please search for interviews with Kay Griggs, Eustace Mullins, Micheal Ruppert, and especially Jordan Maxwell.

      After listening to these individuals you will begin to understand that we are kept in the darkness for reasons that are anything but benificial to US, the people.

      Please.

    I'm shocked! Shocked to hear that a bank in Grand Cayman is laundering money. Sheesh, the entire economy of Grand Cayman is based on hundreds and hundreds post office box "banks" handling dirty money.

    Totally unconstitutional, what's nexts: snopes.com then google.com what about the freedom of information act, and free speech. How can a registrar take away a company's domain. Totally illogical, it will get thrown out of court and the site restored within 6 months. If you invest in domains check out idnbusiness.wordpress.com
