American Crime

What I learned from the presentations, is that America's first organized crime was caused by it's own government, prohibition. People were formed to get alcohol, cause the government said they could no longer manufacture or sale booze. Our natural reaction to this, is to enter the door that says 'Do Not Enter'. These gangsters were ruthless, collaborating with one another, then turning on each other. From bank robberies, too moving rum, this was the 1920's gangsters.

Leaks

 Wiki leaks must be shut down. Hackers shouldn't be butting in on government operations. All the documents should be disclosed and only to be seen by the eyes of officials of that faction. The sole purpose of this exploit is to bring down the powerful nations and their government systems. This is just a strike from competitors, trying to turn a nation on another over documents.

From the Roaring Twenties to the Kiss Off

Everything was berry in the early 20's, until it became baloney and balled up into the Great Depression. People bumping off themselves, going insane, knowing their no longer the big cheese. Others capering away banks for rubes. People getting on edge off boot leg, escaping reality, but the prohibition laws pinching. Runners on the lam. It was one big applesauce mess.

"Unthinkable"

The film Unthinkable correlates to the scenario of interrogating a terrorist prisoner with innocent lives at stake, showing how unpredictable a situation like this can be. I would treat these prisoners with torture, in my opinion there would be no repercussions. A consequence of media exposure doesn't matter, its war, all that

mumbo-jumbo is perspective views and the enemy sure as hell isn't taking second thoughts on the Geneva Convention. The consequence of killing the detainee and not getting answers or lies is a possibility, but why wait and risk more civilian/troops lives?

"I don't like your tone of additude"

The American declaration of war with the Germans had a sense of call to duty, its shows what the Germans did wrong to the American ships and we must take action, but it seems that we wanted peace in the beginning. The German response shows we are united with England, which is their enemy, thus makes Americans their enemy as well. The Germans probably responded to Americans, that you are the enemy.
