It's 9/11 all over again, mark my word (that sounds clicéd).
Just when people start to discuss curbing the police state's powers, a convenient terrorist strike happens, causing millions of americans to forget their privacy and cry for vengeance, ceding the government more power.
Yeah, expect another high profile terrorist attack with controversial details that gets covered up quicker than you can blink with shitty "official explanation". Investigation committees get blocked, skeptics branded "conspiracy theorists", US marches on another Holy Crusade against the Big Bad Terrorists in some obscure mid-east country with deprecated weaponry. After the invasion, a conveniently pro-US government installed, everyone happy!
yanks did not help us when germany forced an "alliance" with my country. yanks did not even help my country to kill off the remaining nazi forces. The soviet union "helped" us, and stayed for a few years (150). Get your facts right pal, you did less than what you think you did.
There is no prob. smashing it once, or maybe twice. The constant unintelligent, uninformative, repetitive troll bashing is getting ridiculous, and discourages real discussion.

This way they can maintain the document, keep it up-to-date, and don't have to worry that some outdated copy is out there, confusing people.
Ofc it's flimsy, could be solved in a number of ways, and outright wrong to use copyright to do the job.

Snowden did it more smartly, with the dead man's switch and all that, but Manning was just as brave.
