How many times are we going to allow this Aussie, Mr. Julian Assange, to divulge classified material? There is no question that the Iraq papers put lives in danger (especially cooberating Iraqi civilians), and this leak is even bigger in scale. Among other cables whose total effect may be embarassment, there are serious breaches such as the Yemeni Prime Minister, & his #2, talking with General Patraeus. And openly admitting to lying to their own Parliament, taking responsibility for US missle strikes on terror targets. I mean, if you're a foreign dignitary how do you confide in the US when PFC dip sh*t can email them to some burnt out gen-x'er hiding out in New Zealand? And this guy claims Afghanistan & US banking documents are next on the agenda.
Whatever else it is the 250,000 pages of classified State Dept files is a national security disaster, period. In addition, we just lost a huge terror case in New York - a bomber from the Kenya and Tanzania embassies was charged on 234 counts, and convicted on one. Add to this the TSA dust up over superman scanners & pat downs that Jr. High aged males would consider second base, that I assume are the result of an Intel chain (which I should be able to read on Wikileaks in 30 days or so); as well as the pending prosecution of a Somali Muslim whom attempted to blow up a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Oregon. The sum total of these would lead anyone to assume that the Justice Department is working overtime ... right?
Well, you'll be happy to know that Attorney General Holder is on top of it - he's flying to Switzerland today to lobby for the US to host the World Cup. Word is he's bringing Steadman ...
