WikiLeaks Data Seem to Show Pakistan Helped Attack American Troops

U.S. has a nice history of giving money and arms to people who in return use them against us!

So, the next time someone does it towards a Christian, or a white person, or whatever Libbo stereotype happens to present itself, we can expect you to be there to save the day? And, if not, we can assume that in this instance, you're simply trying to look cool by covering for a Muslim?

I just wanted to quote this so as many people as possible see this post and understand who it is that is making a mockery of the discussion. What is hilarious is a way is that this thread did not break down into a traditional liberal/conservative split, and yet he still thinks it is "libbos" vs the rest.
 
Wikileaks has 15000 more classified documents that pertain to the war in Afghanistan that it has yet to release. They must be stopped from releasing them. And the person or persons who leaked them must be apprehended and made an example of.

Which part, sir? I grew up in Louisiana and my grandma **** a brick when she found out my first wife was Catholic and didn't hide her feelings about how Catholics were idoliters and are all going to hell.

Yea that's not a conversation between strangers now is it?

Gentlemanly conversation should not include politics(of course this is a political site so that doesn't count) or religion.
That is the old school tradition of Southern manners.

Why not just admit that you're not from The South? Unless you're from a border state, like Missouri, or one of thos ****holes like that.

No, releasing classified data isn't dangerous at all to national security...

No...

(that's sarcasm for those of you in Rio Linda)

And to Answer PeteEU...
IT'S NOT THE RIGHT OR PLACE OF THE ****BAG THAT OWNS Wikileaks TO RELEASE INFORMATION. Those that provided the data, should be tried for Treason, and then shot.

While I agree it's important for there to be some secrecy in a Government in order to keep important information out of the hands of those that could use it against them. It is also important that anything that a Government might be doing that goes against what the people believe should be brought to the public eye. How can a people police it's government if they know nothing about what the government is doing? It is up to those who leak the information to decide whether they leak it for the good of the people or not.

and some of those people recognize that there is a higher principle than absolutely agreeing not to release information
there are instances in which those who hold access to secret information recognize that the legitimacy of its being stamped secret is to protect those whose wrong actions are hidden by the secret
the coverup the Pat Tillman incident comes to mind
in short, there are times when the application of a security classification is not for the benefit of the nation's security but for the benefit of those who - for their own purposes - want instead to conceal their screwups

So there is a higher principle than ones word? Interesting bubba,

is it really that interesting, or is it that you ascribe to the mafia practice of omerta
given your position, i can only assume you acknowledge that gangs, who kill members who disclose insider information for the greater good, are correct in murdering that gang member
but there you have it ... we disagree

I give your straman an 8..... Kudos to you. :thumbs:
 
I need to make a correction of something I said inaccurately in this thread. I was wrong when I said there was nothing in this to put lives in danger. While those lives are probably(thankfully) not American, there are the names of many Afghan sources that could very well be targeted from this, them and or their families. Based on that, it was not just vile to give those documents to WikiLeaks, but vile that they chose to publish them with those names intact. There are no good guys in this leak, and I personally am appalled at those involved in leaking this information to the public.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if this Wikeleaks website owner all of a sudden goes missing, nor would I shed too many tears, either. These leaks are jeopardizing the war effort and people's lives.

Do you think that if any of these documents did put US troops in danger, these people would have withheld them?

Yeah. God forbid the public know the truth of what is happening.

The public knowing = the enemy knowing, and naturally there are things that a country wants to keep in secret from its enemies.

How is that so irreasonable?

Should there be nothing secret during a war?

Like where British soldiers are positioned or if they are going to do a "surprise" attack on the Taliban the next day secret, sure.

British soldiers allegedly killing children and civilians? No bloody way.

Then why hide it?
If war is horrible those who support war should be forced to stomach every man, woman and child that is killed as a result.

If it is simply collateral damage, why do they keep it secret? It seems to me that if they would just release the information about civillian casualties and not be so secretive about it, the public would be able to swallow it easier.
