> So funny, I feel the same way about things like TPB, and yet I bet you think shutting them down without a trial is immoral.

You feel as though "things like the Pirate Bay" are run by people who are so wealthy and powerful that they've completely subverted criminal justice and international law?

I had no idea Dick Cheney was running torrent sites. The bit where he sent those stooges to sit in a Swedish court was a nice touch, I guess.

No, I feel "They enjoy protections from the consequences of their actions," and, "if these people exist outside of due process, what's left?"

They enjoy protections provided by operating in a country where their site is legal. They're not operating outside due process.

If Dick Cheney were running Stratfor, they wouldn't have said that Iraq probably didn't have WMD.

Get off this, dude, no one thinks Dick Cheney's running Stratfor. I bet he has friends on their client list, though.

All of Dick Cheney's friends get their intel from the CIA. Stratfor is small potatoes.
