Students warned: Read WikiLeaks and you're out of a government job

By Daniel Tencer

Graduate students at US universities are being warned not to read or post links to WikiLeaks documents, or they could be denied work with the US government.

Several news reports suggest the State Department has been warning university departments that students could fail security screening if they are seen to discuss or post links to WikiLeaks documents on social networking sites. The US government considers the leaked material to be classified, even after public release.

AboveTheLaw.com has obtained a letter from the career development dean of the Boston University School of Law warning students to stay away from WikiLeaks material.

I hope every single one of them will read WikiLeaks. Maybe that will result in fewer government employees. :)

America is F!@#$D UP! Thank the flying spaghetti monster that I live in a country where exposed dirty secrets of government are still debated in the press, and the legislature, as bad things. Where resignations are demanded at the very least and most often tendered when an official has some smidgen of impropriety surface. Not this lets turn everyone who reads a wikileaks document into a criminal bs. This is some scary stuff. The US government knows it cannot stop the people of the world from learning the truth but it will try to strongarm it's own citizens into a state of ignorance...Reminds me of Communist Russia, or Communist China, or Communist North Korea...notice the pattern here?

Jesus is comming! Be ready
