The people need to know what is really gonig on.

SubjectofUSSA   July 26th, 2010 - 10:54 am

Can't argue with that, too bad he's a hack with his own political agenda. Good luck getting all that credibility back after your previous leaked edited video. If he was really what he wants everyone to believe he is, he wouldn't be releasing "edited" videos.

Taxpayer1234   July 26th, 2010 - 5:55 pm

Including the enemy? I'd really hate for you to be a soldier in our armed services.

Davecat84   July 26th, 2010 - 5:56 pm

Another hippie that hates the military, USA and Bush. Meh.

Temple62   July 26th, 2010 - 5:56 pm

How do you spell "t r e a s o n"?

AmericanParch   July 26th, 2010 - 5:56 pm

When you have past connections to an extremist group, like Julian, and then you send out videos and documents without true interpretation and background, you can make anything seem like murder or destruction. I am fine about not knowing everything that the military is doing at the time that they are doing them, such as waiting till the war is over or until an operation is over that may effect the effort.

Remember the video that he posted of the helicopter shooting'civilian' afghanistanis as well as two Reuters reporters. Wikileaks wanted you to think they were civilians but they were terrorists with Reuter Reporters embedded with them. This happens all the time when they sleep with the enemy. Where do you think they get those pictures of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda. (source: http://www.americanparchment.com )

AMERICA, IS THE SOMETHING NEW OR IS THIS A GREAT DEAL OF OLD NEWS. IT SPEAKS OF COVERT OPERATIONS AND SECRET MISSIONS, THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. IT SPEAKS OF CIVILIAN BEING INJURED AND KILLED BY NATO, THIS IS RARE AND MANY OF THESE WERE ALREADY REPORTED, WE WILL FIND OUT HOW MANY AFTER THE PENTAGON AND THE NYTIMES GETS THROUGH THEM. 90,000 PAGES IS QUITE THE STACK, SO GIVE IT A FEW WEEKS BEFORE WE KNOW MORE.

ULTIMATELY, ARE WE WILLING TO DISCLOSE EVERYTHING AND HELP THE ENEMY FOR THAT TYPE OF TRANSPARENCY, WHY NOT TELLING US ABOUT A TERRORIST ATTACK BEFORE THE FEDS MAKE THE ARRESTS, THAT DOESN'T SOUND SMART.

Taxpayer1234   July 26th, 2010 - 5:58 pm

If Assange ever shows his smarmy face in the US, he should be arrested. And he should be tried for any harm that comes to anyone as a result of his espionage.

SubjectofUSSA   July 26th, 2010 - 5:58 pm

He's Australian anyways, but it shouldn't be too hard to track down the sources of some of these documents which are bound to be US citizens…

The Left howls at the Journolist leak, yet it applauds this leak.

Exposing the secrets of 'journalists' colluding to elect Obama = bad.
Exposing the secrets of soldiers fighting for our nation = good.

This sort of groupthink and sophistry is why we need real education reform now. The republic can't survive without a thinking citizenry.

SubjectofUSSA   July 26th, 2010 - 6:02 pm

Aside from security issues, ie names and the like, I don't have a problem on the surface with stories like this, during any Administration. Those responsible will hopefully face jail time. But really, we should be able to stand behind our decisions and how we do things, good and bad.

War is an ugly thing, nobody should be shocked if we have to do some bad things and work with bad people to gain ground, mental and physical. If we can't stand up and defend stuff that comes out, maybe we shouldn't be doing it….

Then again, if the Commander in Chief was a leader… Leadership comes from the top…

Since you never provide evidence and you always lie then …
YOU'RE AN IDIOT !!!

SubjectofUSSA   July 26th, 2010 - 6:08 pm

I don't agree with the people putting this out. But do you really want to live in a world/country where we NEVER EVER have the possibility of ever knowing what our military does or doesn't do. Yes this is a crappy thing to do, and hopefully nobody is put in harms way because of these documents. But I like living in a country where the military should be responsible, and in a worst case, able to defend the things like this if it does. We'll still defend the military even if they do some bad things sometimes but I would like to know what they're doing and how we do it.

kmichaels   July 26th, 2010 - 6:09 pm

Liberals at berkeley using a similar calm line of logic when they explained why they gave US nuclear secrets to the soviet union. When liberals commit treason, they always think they have a good reason for it. But they are always just as insane, even before we heard their lame excuses for the perpetually stupid things they were caught doing.

kmichaels   July 26th, 2010 - 6:11 pm

Obama has gotten record numbers killed in Afghanistan, you dimwitted ass hole. And you seem to be ok with Obama playing with his plastic war toys. Are you stupid or something?

Edword   July 26th, 2010 - 6:14 pm

This is all part of Obama's exit-strategy. Has has a much bigger fish to fry (the American Dream) and this war is of no interest to him.

These leaks will serve as basis for creating a media-induced groundswell of "popular opposition" to the war effort so he can justify a Vietnam-style abandonment.

Liberals are supporting him on this traitorous move, and he is still a traitor to the west in general, and why are you kissing his butt? Does it make you feel special?

randyjsing   July 26th, 2010 - 6:20 pm

I'm getting tired of this. Anyone who aides the enemy needs to be jailed or hunted down as the enemy. We need to change the "rules of engagement" over there and win this war and then get the hell out of there. There will be civilian casualties. It happens. Sorry. I'm tired of Liberals who invest in defeating the USA. When Bush said "You're either with us or you're with the terrorists" he was exactly right. Make up your mind as to whose side you're on people. Unfortunately this kind of undermining has been going on for years now. Wake up.

Edword   July 26th, 2010 - 6:20 pm

Well Wassi, if that's true why was Obamacare kept completely out public scrutiny despite the promises of the Dark Lord himself?
In fact where is much the Dark Lords documents relating to his past? Why all the secrecy behind nearly every aspect of his agenda?

The people need to know what is really going on, Wassi.

ray_d_aider   July 26th, 2010 - 6:22 pm

Sir, I'd like to put a bullet in his head, thank you. Just trying to be clear.

SubjectofUSSA   July 26th, 2010 - 6:23 pm

The question should be which soldier(s) or armed service members leaked this material to begin with and why and how that all happened. Then again with that story last week or so about how many hundreds of thousands of people have access to classified documents from tens of thousands of locations… can't say I'd be surprised if it turns out to be some liberal hack with a contractor type position.

yasarfaster   July 26th, 2010 - 6:23 pm

As I listen Julian Assange, as he describes the supposedly secrete military files he has exposed to the world, I wonder what is it that the other side is doing. Has the US been operating in a vacuum? Did they just invade Afghanistan to kill innocent people? I want to ask Mr Assange, "So the US military has assassination squads. OK. But tell about what are the Saudi's, the Russians, the Chinese, the Pakistanis doing through the Taliban and other proxy groups within Afghanistan? Have you ever heard of Al Queda? Mr Assange, tell us about the beheadings, the Taliban assassination squads, the killing of teachers, the killing of female students, and all the unimaginable atrocities committed by those the US military is opposing in Afghanistan. Mr Assange you are a propaganda vehicle of the Left. I agree the US is mired in a land it doesn't understand, in a war that is sucking us dry, but Mr Assange as a pimp for the other side you only help them, your allies.

Will_Antonin   July 26th, 2010 - 11:26 am

I don't know of anyone who has argued FOR "liv[ing] in a world/country where we NEVER EVER have the possibility of ever knowing what our military does or doesn't do".

sales4me   July 26th, 2010 - 6:29 pm

who is this guy to decide US war policy. Just because he disagrees with any war footing plan, he thinks leeking these docs will chagne the new war policys with Patreous. I don't see it — in fact when I and I am sure many consevatives think "there is a catch" The catch is war engagement is being qusetions by the US Military and they really think, that civillian deaths mean we should give up and quit…where is the indignation that the taliban hide among the civilllian popluation they consider there lives expendible and we are expected to protect them more than our own military personnel. I believe this is a political move on behalf of inside white house as usual.

imsailing2   July 26th, 2010 - 6:29 pm

This is nothing but propaganda. Where is the interviewer asking this man the hard questions?

No challenge, he just gets to say whatever he wants as if it is gospel truth.

Whatever he is right about, and whatever he is wrong about……..does he care about the lives of American servicemen that he has put at risk?

Or are they just the evil oppressors, pronounced guilty just for being an American soldier?

And the Taliban? They are just assumed innocent victims of the evil white American oppressors. None of them are guilty. None of them carry any responsibility for this war.

He talks about assassination squads, but no mention of who these people are there are after and what they have done. They are just assumed innocent victims. It's war!! That's what happens in war, you try to kill the other side.

Where does this guy get off drawing all these conclusions of who is right and who is wrong? Sounds like he thinks he is some world judge. You have to have a pretty high opinion of yourself to think that you know and understand enough to the single moral voice pronouncing judgment on "the true nature of this war".

SubjectofUSSA   July 26th, 2010 - 6:29 pm

We'll see if anyone even finds "abuse" in these documents. Seems a little odd they announce this huge leak… but where is the one big story/scandal that exposes something just dreadful.. He says abuse, but you'd think he'd point to some of these actual documents as evidence.

We'll see, but if people are being abused I'd rather we know about it.

Bamm pretended ignorance just last week, and blamed the British saying he had been "surprised and angry" about the release. You lie.

CravingGod   July 26th, 2010 - 6:42 pm

I have wrestled with the issue of either calling this guy a hero or a villian.

I have recently wondered, as a Christian, where patriotism fits in with the Bible and how I should view my citizenship (whether my citizenship in Heaven overrides my citizenship in the US). Personally, I have concluded that I must be for the truth at all times. One day I will die. Holding back the truth may extend my life and I may escape judgment on earth, but it only delays the inevitable…I still die and I still will be judged in the end. Is it worth losing my soul? I'm not sure God is worried about one country versus another. What is patriotism to God? What should it be to us? Nations have risen and fallen just like men when they are born and then die. Maybe our focus should be more on the eternal attributes of God such as compassion, mercy, redemption…and truth.

I may be wrong and I can accept that. If anyone can show me otherwise BIBLICALLY, I will apologize and be thankful for you showing me the error of my ways.

unkeeaf   July 26th, 2010 - 6:47 pm

Tim Coles takes us through 11 steps necessary to create a “terrorist state”. Using Yemen as a case study, he argues that these steps

Pakistan, Iran as well as Yemen to grow “very poisonous seeds”, some

And capitalist nations seem more righteous than communist nations.

In the middle east there are three kinds of people: ex-terrorists, terrorists, and future terrorists. With that being said, the American people have the right to know everything. The fact is the U.S.Government has been corrupt for a looooong friggin time. People, THE ENEMY ALREADY KNOWS WHAT TIME IT IS. Foreigners know more about what is happening than the American people. Our press is one big cover up machine and The Washington times has probably leaked more damaging info than this guy.

It's a huge mess and this is one way to fix it.

Will Antonin, didn't you know that logical consistency is 'uncompassionate' and ethical standards are a bourgeois plot to keep the proles down? Geez, didn't you take Post-Structural Post-Modernist Deconstructive Critical Theory 101?

The only traitors in the U.S. right now, apparently, are pro-American co-conspirators like us.

Maybe because he has actually put troops in there to try and WIN IT, instead of a photo opp like the Brush clearin Bush.

Those involved in the leaking of military information are direct descendants of Benedict Arnold, probably a child of sen Kerry.

reasonjester   July 26th, 2010 - 7:43 pm

Right on, kmichaels. The leftist arguments against the Hiss trial, for example, went from: This is a travesty! A mockery of justice! Alger Hiss must be acquitted! To: Oh, he really did do it? So what? The Cold War's over, man. Move on.

Wasilla_Grizzly   July 26th, 2010 - 7:43 pm

That's the problem with you stool samples, You think our enemies are stupid. that is why your arrogance has led us to where we are.

I do love the fact that the missles used to kill our troops and bring down our copters are the same ones good old Ronny Reagan sold them years ago. Thanks again RONNY !! may you still rot in hell.

reasonjester   July 26th, 2010 - 7:43 pm

Not sure if Obama's in on it, but it certainly is convenient for him.

reasonjester   July 26th, 2010 - 12:46 pm

Great post! Yes,this is the essence of critical theory: Treat the enemies of America and capitalism as if they are victims or saints, particularly through presumption of innocence and lies of ommission, while relentlessly smearing the target through a coordinated campaign of seemingly independent 'experts' (actually, activists) coming to the same 'conclusion.'

Wasilla_Grizzly   July 26th, 2010 - 7:47 pm

Once again Ronny Reagan and his friend Osama comes back to haunt us. Looks like the leak shows that the missles used to kill our troops and shoot down our helicoptors have good old Ronnies name stamped all over them.
One more, In a long line of, examples of how the GOP loves terrorists, loves to see our troops die, and loves to make $$$$$ off of war.

Julian is not a journalist. He's publishing military documents never meant for public eyes in a time of war – an action both irresponsible and reprehensible. He's not doing anyone with any sense any good. He's just feeding the fervent anti-war crowd red-meat while aiding our enemies. That's not journalism. That is espionage.

I hope the CIA finds him and deals with him up close and personal like. And the source of the documents should hang.

Why you taking a Wikileak on our troops? Couldn't have held it in until we made it home, Julie? What's the need to spill all this information now? Can you imagine what a mess the military will have to clean up, all the while trying to fight off Taliban and the terrorists? I know democracy depends on transparency, but this is plain yellow journalism.

LA Times is a good example,
On one hand they leaked the existence of the program to gather intelligence from cell phone calls from and to the US to foreign parties with suspected terrorist connections. A very successful program that saved both US lives and the lives of foreign citizens in the US and abroad. The leak of this information, changed terrorist practices, reduce security, and endanger life and property. The leak was to advance the LA Times political agenda that is so apparent when one reads what passes for their editorial page (populated by writers that are better known for reviewing TV shows and movies, or wear big hats) that content reflects leftist ideology as low as defending the attorney of Omar Abdel-Rahman, leader of various terrorist groups, whom was responsible for the first World Trade Center Bombing, while attempting to fight deportation. Rahman's attorney Lynne Stewart smuggled his statements out of the SuperMax prison, thus enabling him to communicate with his followers and foment further terrorist activities.

On the other hand they sit on video of the Obama participation in the farewell party for Rashid Khalidi, a former PLO operative and best friend of William Ayers. The LA times has a video of Barack Obama toasting this friend of his, with Bill Ayers at his side, while attending a Jew bashing dinner, and they are refusing to release the video to the public under a supposed promise made to the provider of the video.

It is all so transparent and sad. In a recent discussion of the editorial stance of the paper with a person in the business/advertising end of the operation, I questioned whether the LA Times had studied whether the editorial page was hemorrhaging much needed subscribers when the operation is part of the Tribune Bankruptcy. The executive stated that he believed the editorial page brought in subscribers. Meanwhile, over the last 10 years of Tribune rule, anecdotally, I have been told by numerous ex subscribers that they dropped the paper due to its far left editorial stance.

PROSECUTE THIS TRAITOR FOR TREASON – THEN EXECUTE HIM! That will stop this nonsense for good!

psssst…..this is takin too long. There's a book called a dictionary. They keep all kinds a wurds in it.

Wasilla_Grizzly   July 26th, 2010 - 8:16 pm

Yea, execute him after KKKarl Rove. Does that sound like a sane country to you ?

TexasStomp   July 26th, 2010 - 8:20 pm

Looks like he fell in a swimmin pool with too much chlorine.

ew….dude….tanning booth, fast!

Plame wasn't "covert". Green teeth.

TexasStomp   July 26th, 2010 - 1:27 pm

macky,

Do we know these docs weren't already de-classified or so unimportant nobody cares? Do we KNOW if they ever were TOP SECRET? You'd be amazed at what you can get that the military doesn't give a ratz ass about.

Not that we don't believe every word dis guy utters buuuuuuutt……

I'll need credible verification before I buy yet another crap story by another crap blogger.

When CIA says he hurt America, or FBI, or the Pentagon…then I'll look twice.

grimreaperxx   July 26th, 2010 - 1:32 pm

Note: In 1910 the LA Times was bombed by leftist radical Union members representing steel and iron workers. Over 50 people were burned to death in the resultant fire. Founder of the paper General Otis and his heir by marriage Harry Chandler were conservative and fervently anti-union. In the first "Trial of the Century" the Union leaders were found guilty, Clarence Darrow (yes the supposed greatest defense attorney) was hired by Samuel Gompers to defend the Union leaders. Darrow was charged with criminal actions in attempting to bribe a juror (an Army Captain on a limited pension). In addition to bribery, Darrow was accused of threatening of witnesses, and tampering with evidence. Darrow stood trial following the conclusion of the McNamara case was found not guilty of bribery on a hung jury, it is unknown if he bribed the jurors in his own case. However, in the following trial Darrow plead guilty to juror intimidation and destruction of evidence and retained his license to practice law.

I bring this up solely for the purpose to propose that were General Otis and Harry Chandler alive today, they might well lead the mob action to blow up their own paper in reaction to what passes for editorial content today.

DarthShatner   July 26th, 2010 - 8:37 pm

We are where we are because Radical Islam is at war with us, "we" did not lead them into war. They chose this war and brought it to us… We chose the challenge and are now bringing it to them.

I dont know of any quote from American leader who has said the enemy is stupid, do you? (nice strawman argument) Actually our enemy is very smart and very resourceful, as you stated, they are using stinger missiles we provided to them 30 years ago to kill American service members today. I find very revealing about your character that you "love" that fact.

What is your point other than the strawman you want to argue?

DarthShatner   July 26th, 2010 - 8:38 pm

Maybe it's time for someone to leak all of Obambi's college records.

The people need to know whats going on.

Wasilla_Grizzly   July 26th, 2010 - 8:43 pm

And radical Christianity is at war with them? now what ?
we CHOSE to act like god chose us to rule the planet. Do you think that had something to do with them hating us ? Do you think it still does?

Bush thought they were stupid. that is why he thought the Iraq war would be a cake walk, thats why he thought he could waltz into Afghanistan and get bin laden with 40,000 troops, ect..etc..etc. the troops dont need body armor or up armored trucks. We dont need a plan against these backwards dirt farmers…

father_moray   July 26th, 2010 - 8:51 pm

Julian AssAnger is a traitor and needs the fulfillment of a trial and judgement delivered swiftly. He endangers our soldiers. He fights for terror. SurrendaCrats are unAmerican. Flush this Floater.

Nodhimmi   July 26th, 2010 - 8:51 pm

What about the little traitor who supplied the punk in UK. He should never see sunlight again, if he gets to live at all.
