Lieberman Introduces Anti-WikiLeaks Legislation

Where is the outrage? It's the government's responsibility to keep state secrets...it's the journalist responsibility to report the news.
I think all of us are tired of the double standards by congress. Just read a new book about Americans finally taking a stand against tyranny & corrupt politicians & corporate govt. It's so real & about each of us. I highly recommend it. Not much spending money this holiday for me so I'll be giving this book out cause it has a good plot & fits todays problems.
