“You have a duty to demand the highest safety standards… and [ensure] that ‘speak up’ in fact means speak up, not shut up, as it is meant all too often.”
Tell that to Snowden, Assange, Manning etc.
Obligatory fuck Assange, no protection for Russian Agents.
yawn. The 2016 media ops are really paying dividends.
Haha no. He selectively edited Manning’s stuff to frame the US Army long before 2016.
“Frame” the US Army…? Bro the great satan doesn’t need any framing, its sins are dripping from its fangs and claws.
Then why did he edit videos he used to accuse the Army of war crimes? If they don’t need to be framed, why fuck with the evidence?
Idgaf, death to America
Fuck Snowden too, no respect for him running to Russia. If you think it’s your moral obligation to break the law, you should be willing to take the consequences. You can’t run off to an enemy state that does much worse things than what you were willing to break the law to expose. I have zero doubt Snowden is a traitor and gave Russia whatever they wanted. It’s possible he started off well meaning, but I wouldn’t be shocked if he did it for Russia all along. His original intentions don’t matter now either way, he had a high clearance and Russia now knows everything he learned with that clearance beyond even the scope of his “whistleblowing”.
Maybe don’t throw your whistleblowers in a jail and let them rot for life, and you will avoid defections to another country.
Can you blame the guy to not want to die in a dark cell for showing the world that your own government is keeping a lot of tabs on you without your knowledge?
He tried to go to other countries, but none of them wanted to take him in except Russia because of what he knew.
So it’s either die in a cell in the US, or live a somewhat free man in Russia.
The choice is clear.
So demand that your government do better and get behind the people that shows you how your government fucks you over.
There would have been a lot of pressure to get him released and would have kept what he revealed talked about and more pressure to end that as well. He’s just a little bitch that wanted to play hero and or a Russian agent.
Spoken like a true keyboard warrior.
Retaliated against is a funny way to say killed
Imagine killing a man and then saying this…
You spelled assassinate wrong, dude
Quick, prepare the wrist-slapping fines!
These fellows are going to get slammed and blasted by Congress, it might spoil up to a few minutes of their time on the yacht.
The total energy of the strong finger wagging that follows this admission will be enough to power a flashlight for 2 milliseconds.
Much too harsh for this gold-domed “too important to really hold to account” CEO. Perhaps a mildly stern, yet askance look (or two, if the crowd rumbles for more)
Do you mean “award them more fat defense contacts??” Cuz that’s what we’re gonna do!
And yet, still CEO I see…Sorry for misinformation - see comment below.
No they fired him, but he’s staying on till they find a replacement. (He did get millions of dollars to boot though)
And apparently NOT in jail at this time
David Calhoun apologized to the families of Boeing crash victims, saying the manufacturer was “totally committed” to future saftey improvements, as he began testimony at the committee on Tuesday.

That’s the… first… thing… that’s… ever gone wrong.
