Ahhh and in old english, "Thou dost protest too much, methinks." It could be part of a psyops or it could simply be they like to bitch and moan now that their dirty laundry is being aired. I tend to think psyops myself because this is all very schoolyardish, in that the information in WL is embarassing, but it certainly isn't damaging....
I agree. Has a very fishy smell to it. I keep thinking of Jay Rockefeller and the Cybersecurity Act of 2009.

I am little confused here are you people saying that the former student does not have the right to warn his old alum that talking about leaks in a public forum may make it harder to get a job at State?...

I'm curious what will be the punishment of those students whose are actually going to speak about it. Are they going to be banished or what?

Of course he has the right, they have no say over what the students do. They're trying to say it will go against them getting employed since employees use twitter and can spy on people. I however recommend students get together and start their own ethical businesses and support each other. Its about time we do this, and only buy from each other.
yes its here..... has been for a while. good point dave.

This is starting to be the joke of the year. Even the Communist states never did this sort of actions, yet in the country of "Freedom", where the First Amendment is giving the right for free speech, in that country, speaking about clear and present problems are prohibited. Right now it seems the U.S. Government is starting to present what they truly are.

Actually, communist countries like the PRC do basically the same thing, however, fascist dictatorships like North Korea are the only ones that consistently go as far as the US when it comes to threats, warnings and actions concerning freedom of speech. The US is no loger a free country, it is a corporate oligarchy, which in simple terms according to Mussolini is Fascism. Mussolini coined the term "Corporatism" as a mixture of fascism and corporate control and it was to be the ideal society where the "elites" controlled everyone as literal slaves. Change your country's situation if you can, but there is no point bitching about it because it's here. You have to remove every one of the corporate shills in office from power, just like the rest of us have to do in every other country of the world.
Cheers - Dave
