9/11 Truther now a political prisoner

[Russell Kanning]

There's a lot more to this story http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/july2007/260707dischargepapers.htm

Interesting. Now I'm suspicious -- of Korey Rowe. First, I want to know what his real name is. I just spent a little while going through DoD discharge records and could find no record of a "Korey Rowe" at all having been discharged, honorably or otherwise, from any branch of the Armed Forces. Second, I want to see his DD-214.

Why do you have to know what a guys "real" name is? Why would you use the evil records of the government to learn more about people? Why should anyone be judged by his dd-214?

I hope my karma doesn't get dinged again for this.  It's been a rough week or two on the karma front, between this and the anti-vaccine crap.

why would your karma getted dinged for replying on this thread?

Because if he signed a contract to enter military "service," then I want to know if he's the sort of person who breaks his contracts, or if it's the government screwing up again. I don't like it when people break their contracts.

I personally think the proper thing to do if you're on active duty when you suddenly realize the evil of what you're doing is to find a way to get the military to release you from the contract, rather than trying to run away from your obligations. Since there are a bunch of ways to do this, it wouldn't be very hard.

So he wasn't a political prisoner?  He was actually a deserter?  And is going to be released from his obligations to the army anyway?  Can we change the title of this thread?

to me ... it doesn't matter why he was arrested ... I like everyone to be free
Is there a difference between being a "political prisoner" and a "deserter"?

Why would we change the name of the thread?

Sure there is.  "Political prisoner" was used to imply that he was being held explicitly because of his involvement in the 9/11-Truth movement -- because of his political actions.  In some sense, all prisoners are political prisoners.  But, of course, if this guy had been caught on tape killing someone, the title of the thread wouldn't have been "9/11 Truther now a political prisoner."  You run a newspaper, you must know that using the right words for a headline creates a different spin to a story.

If you want information on a guy's contract with the evil government, then it would make sense to look at the government's evil records.  The veracity of his story can be judged by a DD-214.

I am a completely irresponsible part of a newpaper.

Could the government lie?

What if they don't release you? What if they tell you to kill people?

[Russell Kanning]

How about this for a title?

A member of a 9/11 Truth group may or may not be in jail because of an outstanding army warrant.

No.

BWAHAHAHA!!  Oh man, I can't believe I held a straight face for that long!  Sure, the government lies.

Or: 9/11 Truther Arrested for "Desertion".

Sure, the government lies, but so does Korey Rowe. So I'm questioning everything about this whole situation.

How about

Dangerous Conspiracy Theorist finally brought to justice for his Desertion and Threats against our National Security.

A cynic might say that a person who is kidnapped for deserting the army is, in fact, a political prisoner.

Why?
