We will give you a war! We will hack foreign websites and subtly change the ads! Take that!

This is a good spend right there....<eye roll>....and a criminal act.

Death of a thousand cuts. One more area where Al Queda has to respond. It is nice to be proactive in any form in this war on terror.

Why in the he.. does the o administration have to pay themselves on their back for doing something like this?

Why not keep your mouth shut and let them guess who might have done it?

Then again, why all of the Leaks coming from the white house/state department? Treason?

And why does congress close their eyes and mouths and not attempt to hold anyone accountable?
