U.S. role in Yemen covered up by its president, WikiLeaks file reveals - CNN.com

U.S. documents obtained by WikiLeaks posted despite site problem - CNN.com


Well, I have a mixed reaction to this turn of events. I am all for free speech, however, when it puts lives in great danger, some people need to just STFU.


I can understand this if it was done by an enemy of the U.S. But the person who leaked all of this was an intelligence analyst for the United States Army:

Bradley Manning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This soldier wanted to create utter chaos on a global scale.

I am sure this will be discussed in the coming weeks until people get tired of hearing about it.
 
I acknowledge the fact that USA may have conducted illegally during armed conflicts and bad shit does happen. I also acknowledge the fact that certain people in government are involved in cover-up or black ops or similar where it's morally and ethically questionable.

However - there is a right way and wrong way to expose them. The world isn't black and white. Some deals with the devil have to be made for greater good. It is naive to think otherwise. I do not believe in full public disclosure nor complete transparency. The public does not need to know much because they are incapable of manifesting the information.

I believe Bradley Manning signed up for army in order to cause chaos. He is a traitor and he should be charged with treason.
 
I am trying to muster something humorous to say .... well, Obama did say his administration was going to be the most transparent.

right - on different issues but this is an illegal disclosure of classified material.

People's getting it wrong. People have rights to freedom of speech..... only relating to opinion and expression such as speaking out/criticizing against government.... Church.... a certain race... They are free to preach about their view of bigotry, racism, or whatsoever (as long as it doesn't incite violence).

A person has rights to freedom of speech to criticize against Wal-Mart but he does not have the rights to disclose information about secret deals between Wal-Mart and whoever.

Whistleblowing is a gray area but it's within legal parameter because a whistleblower followed proper procedure to remedy the situation.
 
Manning should be prosecuted, no doubt about it.
 
omg... Manning is only 5'2"! that's like a midget! I thought military doesn't allow anyone who is under 5'4"?!
 
It's time for US to drop atomic bomb at WikiLeaks HQ.
 
you all know that it's just a fraction of what we know so far? There's a LOT MORE MORE MORE to come. :(
 
Manning is a traitor. Assange is aiding and abetting a criminal. In fact, Assange is a criminal by allowing information that was illegally obtained in the first place to be distributed to the public.

What is next? A top secret "how to make a suitcase nuke" manual?
 
There was an Iranian Nuclear Scientist that was assassinated earlier today. My gut tells me it was a direct result of leaked information.

Saudi Arabia wanted us to bomb Iran. Israel said they were going to bomb Iran before 2010 was over. These were disclosed to the public by wikileaks .. then just a few hours later, this scientist is killed.

Was he an inside informant that was killed by the Iranians, or did Israel have a problem with him ... maybe Saudi Arabia.


Another suspiciously timed event is the following:

NASA - NASA Sets News Conference on Astrobiology Discovery; Science Journal Has Embargoed Details Until 2 p.m. EST On Dec. 2


so, life exists elsewhere in the universe and NASA suddenly decides to be open about it? So soon after the wikileak dump? :hmm:

I watched Oreilly and the legal experts told him ti's not gonna happen - Hume and Megyn Fox said they don't believe he'll be charged for treason for a few reasons.

Maybe WikiLeaks was going to leak that Elvis is living on Mars but decided to give NASA a heads-up because that want a ride on the delayed shuttle :dunno:
:laugh2:
 
First WikiLeaks, now our own DeafiLeaks:

1. A.G. Bell is buried alongside Hoffa in the End Zones at Giants stadium.
2. Air Force Blue Book contains list of UFO sightings on Kendall Green.
3. Congressional doomsday bunker under the Merrill Learning Center.
4. CIA recruitment of MSSD students as interns at its Langley headquarters on Wednesdays.
5. Al-Qaeda actively seeking radicalized Deaf to be implanted with a explosive cochlear-device on a mission against the West.
6. Pirates dropped plans to hijack a Deaf cruise off the Somalia coast after they learned that it has no ransom value whatsoever.
7. A Deaf North Korean undercover leaked secrets using sign language out in the open to be picked up by satellites overhead.
8. Marlee is an informer within Hollywood, FBI just keep her on a payroll as nobody will listen to her as the days of McCarthyism are over.
9. A glimmer of hope in the Middle East when Deaf Israelis and Palestinians youths are seen playing soccer, it's fine with me as long as they don't step on any landmines out there.
10. Pentagon suspected Mayer as the source of these leaks.
Now that's only 10 out of 250,000 pages soon to be released on DeafiLeaks, I'll let you think of the rest of them.
