Forget about the message this inarticulate creature is trying to transmit and concentrate on the complete linguistic impotence of these badly constructed sentences:
There do have to be laws to protect some secrets. I think if you’ve got the, you know, the plans on how to make a nuclear bomb that is a state secret. If you give that to the enemy, that is being treasonous,” said the Senator from Kentucky, “Even if you reveal it, you just have to have laws against that. What Manning did was just willy-nilly, just released millions of pages of things and I think some people have said there is potentially some harm from that. You know individual agents that could have been killed or put at risk from this. So there is a problem with that. So I just can’t support that.
And this is a person some people consider to be a politician? “I think some people have said there is potentially some harm from that”? He is basing his position on what he thinks some unidentified “people” might have said could potentially cause something vaguely harmful to somebody mysterious? “Millions of pages of things”?
What a creep.
Be vague enough and people can’t pin specific claims on you or on your ‘unidentified associates.’ If they do, you can always argue that it’s not exactly what you said and that you’re being hit willy-nilly with false accusations about things.

This is Sen. Rand Paul, a worshipper of Ayn Rand, just like his dad Ron Paul, the perennial Presidential candidate. The Senator has plenty of inconsistencies in his politics – he is a libertarian fundamentalist Christian who wants to ban abortion and gays.

As I always say, all of this Libertarian verbiage is nothing but a way to hide that these are run-of-the-mill fundamentalist fanatics.

Another topic, but also about politics:
Syria’s darkest day? … a massacre of more than 1,300 people by Bashar al-Assad’s forces using chemical weapons in Ghouta, east of Damascus. … Many of the Damascus victims were very young children, even babies

In Israeli paper I saw a thought that not reacting to Assad sends a message to the entire Middle East about the lack of danger in using chemical weapons to kill thousands. And a message to Israel not to sign any treaties because of US promises to enforce any parts of them.
