Cartoon 747: The Threat

It was rumored that before Ronald Reagan was inaugurated he cut a deal with the Iranian government holding the hostages. The agreement was not to release any hostages until he was in office so Jimmy Carter would not get the credit.

It is all over the internet that Israel has its hands in the current batch of WikiLeaks of diplomatic communications. Uniquely notable is the absence of significant references to Israel among the communications. Speculation is that the founder of WikiLeaks cut a deal with Israel or was their tool.

On the American political scene one politician has taken the floor of the Senate to champion WikiLeaks, Ron Paul.

Politics is about winning. The rules are whatever it takes. That could even mean aid and comfort to your nation’s enemies.

The weakest security link in a nation is always those closest to power. They will often use whatever means to garner more.
