    It must be someone else. Bradley Manning was arrested back in May.

        Maybe we should call it 'Wikileeks'...?

        With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

            I doubt he would have access to diplomatic cables.

            This isn't a military leak.

                Apparently these were considered sensitive but not secret or something like that. Part of the intelligence sharing reforms after 9/11 was that these sorts of documents were made more widely available.

                  I really hope that they salted the crap out of the cables with informants. Because a lot of people are well and truly boned if not.

                      This made me laugh:

                      US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has denounced the release of classified diplomatic cables as an "attack on the international community".

                      "This disclosure is not just an attack on America's foreign policy interests," she said.

                      "It is an attack on the international community: the alliances and partnerships, the conversations and negotiations that safeguard global security and advance economic prosperity.


                      US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton denounces the leak of classified diplomatic cables as an "attack on the international community".



                      No Hillary, you are making a fool of yourself. If anything, these Wikileaks documents show the international community (read: everybody on this planet) how things work in international dealings. That's a great gain. We see now better what alliances and partnerships really mean to the diplomats and politicians. We see now how global security and the advance of economic prosperity is limited to petty nationalist interests.
                      That exposure is not 'an attack on the international community' but an attack on the 'nationalists communities', of which the USofA is just one of every other.

                        Yes, all diplomats' communications should be treated as public record and be available to anyone. That will improve discourse and dialogue between nations when they can't speak freely and need to pander to the citizens of their own country. The next thing we need is to have the media interpret all of this for us.

                        The worst thing about this document leak is that everyone who reads a bit of them immediately thinks they are a foreign policy expert. :wiglaf:
