BO did nothing because it is part for his plan
- LincolnSRO
Exactly. The left has been doing everything it can to undermine the war effort from day one. The goal is for the war to fail, so the people so much smarter than the rest of us (just ask one) can wring their hands and bemoan how war is “never the answer”.
Now that BO is in office, he can’t publicly oppose it, but he can allow others to undermine it. Then, when the war effort is ineffective, he gets to run his professorial yap about that cowboy Bush. Again.

Sorry, but I don’t believe for one second that Wikileaks is criminal here. What’s really stupid is that everytime something leaks, those who cry “treason” about it admit that there was nothing insanely revealing in any of the stuff.It looks to me from what I’ve seen and heard about from these files is that it’s a bunch of world leaders talking about each other behind their backs and acting friendly in person. It’s like elementary school lunch…but with “important” and “powerful” people.

So I’m gonna put the word out for your SSN# and any other personal data and then once I get it I’m gonna release it to the public. By your definition I’m just sharing the info and will walk scott free!

I think the criminal activity is when the information is stolen- If stolen information is distributed, then I do not think the disseminator of the information is the guilty party- It’s like blaming the middleman for the bad deal- It’s a security issue- they’re going after the wrong people. Unless, Wikileaks is the party stealing information.

It isn’t the “thief” is an Army E-2 (Private First Class) whom they’ve already detained and is awaiting further dealings in Quantico.
But by all means, let’s sick the CIA or NSA to destroy the business of and kill a private individual for airing out the dirty laundry that our clearly incompetent, ineffectual and illegitimate state was too inept to clean up or kept locked down themselves.

The real damage these leaks has caused are to our allies and Iraqi’s and Afghani’s who have helped us and given us info and intel.The release of so many of their identities is a death sentence to them and will ensure few help in the future,which I’msure everyone in this administration is on board with. Fortunately they are right on top of shutting down webs that download music illegally, thank God we are a much safer country today due to their heroic efforts in that department. Watch out Dems January is coming and so are the investigations into “the Chicago way” of doing business. Rangel and Waters are just the beginning in a long line.

He is not exposing a “person’s” personal information. He is exposing criminal government activity. Same as Pentagon Papers. This is good for our country. He is taking a lot of time to take out secretive names involved. He is leaving in “public” names. As our gvnmt gets more and more “secretive” we need this kind of thing to decide for ourselves what they might actually be up to. Fifty years ago, investigative journalism was the conduit that was used, and that is basically gone. All major media is in the hands of a few who do not allow editors a free environment to work in. It used to be that if you could support the facts, you could print it. You could use anonymous sources with credible information. Now, all media seems to operate off of the same press releases, and reports on the same things. There is enough going on in this country that we should have continually changing content dug up by many different journalists. Yet we end up with a flow of like content that almost has to be controlled. It is all channeled to feed the left/right paradigm. Doesn’t make sense to me that a free individualized press will journalistic freedom would act this way. If this is the case, then our founders would cheer this guy on.

Scoop, you do know that what’s coming next is, “In order to stop sites like wikileaks, the US government is stepping in, monitoring and controlling the internet.”
The last thing we want is for the government to “do something” because they will, oh how they will. It would be a glorious show of government take over for protection!
How about we hold the people who said those things accountable. They know the web/email is unsecured they also know that anything on computer is a viable leak.
Those who are willing to trade a freedom for security, deserve neither and will lose both.- T. Jefferon

Then you need to take a closer look.

Bradley Manning, false Soldier and traitor to America IS a criminal. He illegally and without authorization accumulated intel and transmitted that intel to someone that had even less authorization to hold that intel: A FOREIGNER. First of all, that is considered TREASON. Maybe you should try reading the Constitution of the United States:
Article III Section 3:
“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.”
Manning is guilty of adhering to, and aiding and abetting an enemy of the United States, who is, coincidentally, in the business of providing aid and comfort to other enemies of the United States through freelance espionage. If you cannot understand that, understand this:
http://usmilitary.about.com/library/milinfo/mcm/bl106a.htm
“(1) Any person subject to this chapter who, with intent or reason to believe that it is to be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of a foreign nation, communicates, delivers, or transmits, or attempts to communicate, deliver, or transmit, to any entity described in paragraph (2), either directly or indirectly, anything described in paragraph (3) shall be punished as a court-martial may direct, except that if the accused is found guilty of an offense that directly concerns (A) nuclear weaponry, military spacecraft or satellites, early warning systems, or other means of defense or retaliation against large scale attack, (B) war plans, (C) communications intelligence or cryptographic information, or (D) any other major weapons system or major element of defense strategy, the accused shall be punished by death or such other punishment as a court-martial may direct.”
In case you’re still not capable of understanding, he committed a military offense that falls directly under this statue. Wikileaks, for their part (Julian Assange) has committed a criminal act: he received stolen goods. He committed espionage against the United States, with the aid of traitor Manning:
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/usc_sec_18_00000798—-000-.html
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/usc_sec_18_00000793—-000-.html
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/usc_sec_18_00000794—-000-.html
Assange, for his part, has declared war on the United States, it’s citizens, it’s Soldiers and it’s allies. He has publicly declared that he intends to publicly post this intel (sensitive, or not) for the purpose of executing some bizarre judgement against the US and it’s allies, taking it upon himself to make pronouncements of what is right and wrong in national policies and actions. This information, I’m sure he knew quite well, would inflame international tensions, such as when he released intel regarding the DPRK and the ROC (http://hotair.com/archives/2010/11/28/wikileaks-servers-under-dos-attack-ahead-of-diplomatic-document-dump-update-times-reveals-documents/). How do you think the NORKS will take that? Don’t you think that presents a clear and present danger to the Soldiers of the 8th Army, stationed in the ROK?
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/usc_sec_18_00002332—b000-.html
He has embarked on a path of aiding and abetting terror, placing not only Soldiers and Marines in harm’s way, unnecessarily, but citizens of many nations, and those that had their identities protected, for the sake of aiding in the War on Terror and propagating freedom through the world, even when, possibly, living under oppressive, terrorist supporting governments. The potential death toll resulting from this is STAGGERING, and you can’t see past your own nose. The LTC is right: he should be placed on the CoK list, and allies (and even enemies, like the Chinese) should be enlisted in the search to capture or kill this scrawny bastard. Quite frankly, if I see him, I will gun him down, or cut off his head and send it to Obama via FedEx. Injure a Soldier, and your life, and the lives of everybody you’ve ever so much as said “good morning” or “excuse me” to is forfeit.

We wouldn’t want war crimes to get out, would we? The American people might demand that our gvmnt stop it. The press is dong such a good job of digging into government secret activity to inform the public, that we don’t need this guy. Didn’t one of the networks do an expose’ on innocent people being killed in the streets and the military covering it up? Oh, no they didn’t. Maybe that is just because they can’t go to Iraq and question people and find out what is going on. No, that’s not the case. Well, I am sure they have a good reason for ignoring all of this.

Not in some respects, but we have a HUGE military and a central bank to fund it. So we are useful to people who want to control an entire region.

Is there nobody among the conservatives acknowledging that Wikileaks also might save lives? Had Wikileaks existed 10 years ago we might have gotten leaked information about the fake WMD threat in Iraq. Wikileaks could’ve prevented the Iraq war. Imagine they prevent an unnecessary war with Iran. Does that possibility not compensate for the little pieces of strategic information they also release?

Among conservatives? No. Among Libertarians? Yes.

people have to insane to believe that this was NOT a deliberately planned thing by the US gov. This wikileaks has done more damage to america’s enemies than it has done any damage to america. wiki-leaks was a brilliant plan by the US gov to tell the local populace of enemy states all their leaders’ dirty secrets and hence to destablize their countries, thus weakening them. America wins, america’s enemies lose, in this wikileaks. This was a brilliant intelligence operation by the US security services! This has done more damage to america’s enemies than all the cruise missiles and nuclearn bombs would ever have done.
via Ms Underestimated: Answering the question of why Obama didn’t stop Wikileaks, Peters excoriates the President with his answer:
“Because President Obama is a gutless wonder who cared more about his left-wing free cyberspace base than he did about protecting the security of the United States. No President in modern times has done anything this rotten! … President Obama has overseen the gravest compromise, the greatest willful compromise – because he did nothing – of our national security of any president in my lifetime!”
Ouweeee! That’s gotta hurt!
I’ll add that Peters agrees fully with an assessment made by Thiessen than we could have certainly stopped this, that it was fully in our grasp to take out Wikileaks.
