amirite? (I'd add more but those are some of the really blatant ones)


So the US Army isn't going to carefully monitor and control these information hubs?

Also, will these magical liberty-granting wireless ships be granting operating in Egypt and Saudi Arabia? After all, those are authoritarian and unpopular regimes. And the US military is all about providing assistance to those overthrowing authoritarian regimes...

Don't be foolish. This isn't about helping people overthrow their government because we want them to be free. It's about using communication tools to overthrow governments we don't like. It's rather telling that you call using wireless internet to attack foreign governments we are not at war with a "defense" tool. Much like the DoD, it's a complete misnomer.

I want transparency. I'm perfectly happy watching the Saudis collapse just as soon as Islamic theocracies aren't there to gain from it. Freedom for everybody as a strategy, not a one size fits all.
