"The Justice Department will prosecute anyone found to have violated U.S. law in the leaks of classified government documents by online whistleblower WikiLeaks".... Remember when being a "whistleblower" was seen as a GOOD thing?

It's about time the US Gov got served some of it's own stupidity...

Um, I would suggest re-reading the news on your behalf... The ship was in international waters... Not in Israel's waters, not within the blockade, not in a port! Why is that so easy to overlook and ignore? Waiting for a ship to come into port, or at least into your waters is one thing... Doing this outside of that is something totally different!

So yes it is very difficult for me to understand how such actions could be seen as legal. The blazing disregard for law is the reason for the worlds reaction, something which Israel has enough issues with. Had they waited until it was within the designated "no-go" it would have been a very different reaction. (Or is it still "ok" because Israel did it?)

I am surprised, most readers that come here are looking for truth in reporting, fact, an understanding of what is really going on vs the garage fed to us by the MSM. But when one points out that something is not as it seems they are attacked by the very belief in mis truths which I would think we could agree upon that need to be dispelled...

So now I'm out to shoot cops?, an idiot?, think robbing mom and pop stores is ok?, I'm Islamic?, a left ist?.... Really? Im not sure what is worse, ignorance via half truth or just sticking your fingers in your ears and chanting "Zionism, Zionism, Zionism" until you drowned out reality! Good luck with that!

How quick we are to say terrorist terrorist terrorist these days when we forget to even ask what the definition is. I know for myself, I am (by the US justice departments definition) a "domestic terrorist". Im fine with that label, at least I know I am on the right side of things around here! :) I suggest getting on an airplane and taking a flight to Palestine, go for a lot of walks on both sides of the fence, see things for your self, spend a few weeks learning how things work any why... Unless you have a preconceived religious agenda I guarantee by the time you come home you will clearly understand that the "terrorist" are not the ones doing the terrorizing in that part of the world...

As for this current mess... So few are asking the obvious questions in what went on here.

When did it become ok for any country simply drop military soldiers via helicopter onto a vessel in international waters?
When can a country seize control of a chartered vessel under those circumstances?
Legally speaking... Israel is again screwed by their own actions.

I know from experience that in the open waters if you were to try and board my vessel with out permission I would rightfully (and legally) come up shooting at you.
