from these leaks is exactly what I had known about this Administration and the kidz working for it, they are immature and not ready for primetime. I guess that whole Messiah thing is slowly melting away from the rose colored eyes of the world.

but I’m not outraged either. The only thing that has me curious is the timing,

As far as I can tell at this point, nothing has been revealed that we didn’t already know, though I suppose it will be a big shock to those who support this administration.

Side note: image isn’t showing up for me.

they were all over the Wiki-docu-dump. After whining about exposing secrets and so forth, they concluded the bottom line was nearly every Middle East country is against a nuclear Iran, demandingly so. And they just let it sit there, without asking the obvious question, what are we doing about it?

Nobody mentioned the centrifuge-eating software worm, or the killing of the Iranian working to wipe out the worm, in James Bond-like fashion, with a magnetic bomb no less. I guess connecting those dots doesn’t equal CIA, but rather Mossad, so it’s not us doing it. Our Fearless Leader™ won’t even come out for regime change and support those poor folks who rioted and were shot for it after Iran’s recent election; not likely we’d pull a cool one like the Stuxnet worm.

So the unmentioned question remains, what are we doing about it? I’m tired of hearing about ‘world opinion’; they don’t care. Same for ‘sanctions’; they don’t care. Ditto getting Russia to help us, haha! Missus Clinton’s railings against Iranian nukes intimidate not.

So, if our esteemed panel can drill down to the basic truth of the Wiki-dump, why can’t anybody ask the obvious question? Can it be because we’re essentially doing nothing? Hmmm–better to bemoan the evil Army private and curse the bastage Julian Assange; easier too.

it is what he’s best at– apologizing. Prezdent Opology has apologized for America’s greatness, and now he gets to apologize for his own administration’s ……paucity of greatness. Although I would bet most anything I own that he himself will apologize for nothing, that that will be left up to his various surrogates to handle.

Like you, Dave, I am not upset about leaks on this subject, with the exception of anyone’s life that was endangered by the revelations. But I am upset American citizens are daily subjected to the disdain and distrust of their own government while guys like Assange are walking free in this world. A man who has released so many classified documents, endangering programs, allied relationships, informants the world over, and yet it’s US that gets groped, radiated, and questioned for wanting to fly to see Grandma for Thanksgiving.

Thanks, O. Nothing could be more instructive of where you put your priorities. Too bad the guy who smacked you in the lip couldn’t have put a little more kinetic energy into it and made you have a life-changing experience.

Is most of the info released about obama’s watch or Bush’s?

That some 22-year-old low-level miscreant with a history of anti-social background was given the keys to the kingdom by his officers in the services is an outrage.

That these supposedly secret and classified materials were not encrypted and could be downloaded to a zip file or thumb file while the gov’t looked out the windows and whistled is appalling.

That this soldier was arrested two years ago and has not been court martialed is infuriating.

That Assange is still walking around untouched or hassled while attacking worldwide diplomacy and peacemaking and the US while engaged in two wars with sometimes dubious allies but a throat-cutting enemy defies imagination.

During WW I, such a perpetrator would have been shot. During WW II, the perpetrator would have had compulsory psychiatric care. Now, he gets a website and accolades from all quarters.

Outrageous.

You may have just jeopardized your position. Just because you think something is obvious does not make the disclosure of classified or FOUO information any less serious. Frankly, I am shocked at the level of dismissive attitude I am reading from regulars. I suppose the info leaked during the Bush presidency was ok? Redstate readers should be outraged for at least the fact that an Army private illegally disclosed this information, and the second is that IA and NSS are not secure. There are people in the Gov. Who take responsibility protecting national secrets seriously regardless of the level of incompetency of the political apointments.

This country should never be exposed, mocked, endangered, or threatened by anyone and surely not a minor-level soldier given access beyond his pay grade and an outre Australian who has appointed himself God.

things will get interesting.
