Dear,

 Dear editor, 


      Okay so, i know you heard of WikiLeaks, and how much it has cost us here in the United States and all around the world. I'm not really on any side, but honestly people have different ways on viewing this whole situation on whether they are all out for WikiLeaks because they hear about the information that is not getting to us from the Government itself, and some just think it's too much for them to fathom, or don't even want to deal with it in other words.
         
       The people who think WikiLeaks is a somewhat blessing. They think this because they do not want no secrets between the Government and us, people. These people want to know what the soldiers are doing, and how we are doing things in war. They find it that the Government lies to us, and they need to let us now what's going on because we live here to and we deserve the right to know. This is a good thing and a bad thing. 
  
      For those people who think WikiLeaks shouldn't exist. They don't like seeing our government bad, because it shocks them because we are suppose to be this big role model, and it seems like we never to anything wrong. But, we are wrong. We do make mistakes, and these people are just embarrassed. Maybe this was a bad idea because the Government didn't want this getting out for a reason, maybe that reason was to protect us. Who knows?


     From my experience seeing the video where innocent people were killed, and how the soldiers were joking around with killing whoever like a video game makes me think what are we in this war for anyways anymore. This is a reason it should have been leaked. It makes me and probably other people what we are doing is very wrong, and this should be stopped. Yeah watching this scared me a little, and i thought it was fake for a minute but that doesn't change what they did. They did what they did, and now it's leaked out. That's their fault and they can't blame anybody for it. 
     
        This guy Julian caused a lot of trouble, but also gave us the REAL information and let us see how everything really goes down. It may be illegal, but it's the right thing to do in some cases. Some people would agree and some would disagree. Like i said, many people have different views. My view is simple, i'm neither for or against WikiLeaks, i'm kind of in the middle. I would love to hear what your thoughts on this so called trouble making sites called WikiLeaks, i mean we all have different opinions anyway. Thank you for your time, and i really hope this whole WikiLeaks gets cleared up, also the soldiers learn by this leak that what they are doing in war right now is not right. 


     Hope this made you think a little bit about the possibilities of WikiLeaks.


                       Sincerely,

tone of the US declaration/German

   I think the tone of the United States Declaration of war was kind of a peaceful thing. They wanted people to have rights, and to be free. But the US didn't want to get involved in anything, but they have to because Germany was "messing" with the US, making them want to get involved, and doing things to tick them off. But no matter what i think the tone of the declaration is that they are ready, and armed to fight. They don't like to be in war, but if we have to do it, we have to do it. The German seem to be disappointed in a way. They seem to not be as good as the US well duh. But, they seem determined, like they refuse to not loose. 

IED's, "NO, DON'T HURT ME!"

A. You should treat these prisons not so well. You should threaten their life, and torture them in ways that will make them tell you. If you threaten them, and torture they will eventually come out and tell you everything they know. I just don't believe you should go as far as physical hurting them, just mentally.


B. If you mistreat them in the long term, they could become mentally ill, and or die. They might just think that they are already going to die because they are captured so they wont tell you anything, and you wont have anything to help you so all of it was a waste. Do torture them too much, just do it as far as something you do will make them tell you.
