Mr. Crowley, I salute you, however, you MUST continue to speak out

[kpete]

In his own statement, Mr. Crowley wrote that he takes “full responsibility” for the comment and expressed gratitude to Ms. Clinton. His departure was first reported by CNN.

“My recent comments regarding the conditions of the pre-trial detention of Private First Class Bradley Manning were intended to highlight the broader, even strategic impact of discreet actions undertaken by national security agencies every day and their impact on our global standing and leadership,” he wrote. “The exercise of power in today’s challenging times and relentless media environment must be prudent and consistent with our laws and values.”

3. Like Manning, he did the unspeakable and embarrassed this administration.

We have a new Sacred Cow that must not be challenged.

7. Amazing how swiftly and strongly the administration will act when displeased: it's almost if they

don't react to something seemingly atrocious or outrageous, the act has tacit approval. :patriot:
