You aren't allowed bringing recording devices into sensitive areas of The Pentagon. You aren't even allowed to bring Furbies into sensitive areas of The Pentagon because they can record what they hear and repeat it. What could they be trying to hide from us?
None of your G___-D_____ business.
Wow, Fnord once again epitomizes his characteristic logical streak. What an institution FUNDED BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, whose actions EFFECT PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD, and whose actions are done IN THE NAME OF THE SECURITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, does is not the business of the American People nor that of foreigners whose action it effect?
And, hey, since you're all against "wealth (re)distribution", why the hell don't you have a problem with the government REDISTRIBUTING CIVILLAN WEALTH towards the Pentagon?
This said, I do think one could make a valid or near-valid argument that some of the things the Pentagon does is best kept secret. But Fnord certainly doesn't (as usual).
Maybe things are kept secret within the Pentagon because an institution FUNDED BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE contains information THAT CAN BE USED AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?
