LOL Nerve gas, any farmer worth a cow pie know how to make chemical warfare agents. Fumagating a barn is a routine procedure.

I Like Wikileaks, there is a similar long running publication for Russian politics. We need more exposure and transparency.

I know, I know - anyone who has studied WW I can make poison gas, too, but it was the only thing I could come up with.

What's the name of the Russian site?

compromat.ru

I value the first amendment more that I value the second. I am all for transparency.

I think, in the end, I'm fine with it. They seem to take some effort to provide protection to individuals in leaked documents. However, at the same time, it does seem that they selectively leak documents (i.e. the edited video showing the airstrike, rather than the full video), which does make me question their motives a bit. If they are for 'freedom of information' and 'accountability' i'm down with that. If they have an agenda, then they're just a bunch of holier than thou bastards. And I don't know the answer.
