28. October 2010, 01:44:33 Freedom of speech is a civil right?? So why those involved in releasing video of war crimes facing prosecution???? 28. October 2010, 10:49:55 Subject: Freedom of speech is a civil right?? (V): To what case are your specifically referring? Civil rights and freedom of speech vary widely across the world, and indeed only imply a right. Governments may have a very different interpretation of your rights under the banner of national interests. 28. October 2010, 13:39:11 Subject: Re: Freedom of speech is a civil right?? SL-Mark: The guy who released the video of the reporters being killed in Iraq via a Apache gunship. It seems real freedom of speech is an illusion. 28. October 2010, 23:41:51 Subject: Re: Freedom of speech is a civil right?? (V): That is quite specific! The guy? Who are you referring to? Julian Assange perhaps? Is there really a prosecution against him? Who is prosecuting, the US or the UK? If indeed there is any prosecution, it should be against the intelligence officer that leaked the material in the first place. 29. October 2010, 02:28:28 Subject: Re: Freedom of speech is a civil right??  SL-Mark: Julian Assange is from the city where I live...a very clever person when it comes to IT. 29.

October 2010, 23:14:28 Subject: Re: Freedom of speech is a civil right?? SL-Mark: Yes it is beautiful, and Magnetic Island is Magnetic LOL....on account it draws you back over and over.....It was so named by Capt. Cook because as he sailed past his compasses went awry (according to historians) It is a very hot/wet place in the summer and dry and hot in the winter. Gardens all die in the winter because of the dry winds and the heat ;( 29.

SL-Mark: I was speaking about the intelligence officer as an example of how despite claims to the otherwise.. freedom of speech is an abstract idea. I still by my word till the day I die, am obliged not to divulged info regarding a project I worked on several years back through signing the Official secrets Act.... ... even though by all accounts the sensitivity of any info I remember is almost obsolete by the nature of technical advances. |
