I imagine it would be about the fake evidence used as justification to invade Iraq. 9/11 isn't anything remotely comparable.

(And of course, the US is not the same, as you can talk about the Bush's perjury all day long and not get arrested. Although it is similar in that you can be brown and sent into a concentration camp.)

You can talk shit on the internet to nobody in particular and not get arrested. As soon as you start getting national attention, the hammer drops.

John Kiriakou, Thomas Tamm, Lawrence Wilkerson, Teresa Chambers, and Chelsea Manning were all subject to investigation, firing, and some range of prosecution with varying results for efforts they made to expose Bush's administrative criminality.
