Although if this all turns out to be true, he should have not spilled the beans.
If I leaked classified military information I would not say it to a single soul.

I think it's a shame if it further endangers the lives of our soldiers.  So long as the O-man wants to keep us there, it is important that we prevent such breaches of security.  I heard one analyst say that the documents could reveal the identities of crucial sources, Afghans who are helping us gather important information, who may now be murdered by the good ole' Taliban because their cover has been compromised.  Nice work by Wiki man.

"Someone inadvertently or on purpose gave the Taliban its new 'enemies list,'" declared Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif., who said the White House indicated the disclosures compromised a number of Afghan sources.

"Whenever you have the potential for names and for operations and for programs to be out there in the public domain besides being against the law has the potential to be very harmful to those that are in our military, those that are cooperating with our military," said Robert Gibbs. (Obama's press guy)

"It's not the content as much as it is the names, operations, logistics, sources -- all of that information out in the public has the potential to do harm," Gibbs said

I hope that's not the case.  But at least this Wiki guy made a name for himself, because certainly his ego and his agenda are more important than the White House strategy or fighting the Taliban.   

Oh boy....



And I finally got on, maybe a lot of people were jamming the place

....yes. Quite
In fact the site was down for a pretty long time, but indeed a host of "mirror" sites popped up with less...but still a lot of the stuff.
It has nothing to do with politics or party, NO government will be completely clear. Its great that we have the technology to do this stuff, and people dedicated to keeping it anonymous

I think its great all these secret things can be accessed. EDIT: actually while a lot of it is secret some things, like that Baghdad video and the current headlines are actually not that surprising. In fact  I remember hearing a blurb about the Baghdad incident when it happened. Its still good to just get as much info out there as possible. Honest people knew the occupation was an occupation and not a democracy-fest. It is no different from any other blood-letting committed by the American government on behalf of narrow and predatory interests. Honest people knew and know. The American population however is still largely floating somewhere in a disgusting dream of liberation and "national security." To them this is news, even though it severely isn't.

Well isn't that what I said more or less?
But even if it isnt news to people who, well had a brain, its still good anyway to get it out all out. And to those who did not know better this is of course important
And thats why I made a post about it when the former video was leaked. We should all spread it as much as we can.

Guarantee that the video of US soldiers killing the two Rueters reporters and Iraqi non-combatants is gone.
