[release]Last July the WikiLeaks website released over 90,000 classified U.S. government documents on operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. In doing so, Private Bradley Manning, the U.S. Army soldier suspected of leaking the documents, and WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, have damaged U.S. national security interests and endangered the lives of American soldiers and our closest allies. Claiming that the government's lack of transparency is "unjustified," WikiLeaks has provided a wealth of aid and comfort to groups at war with the United States.
The action taken by the WikiLeaks crew is undoubtedly a reckless and politically motivated attack on the U.S. Government and those defending liberty in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our panelists will deconstruct the consequences of such actions and analyze what the U.S. is doing to ensure that more lives are not put at risk. [/release]

Well it was a bit over-the-top to release military documents to the public, in the middle of a war.
Do you think they might reveal a blueprint to make a nuclear weapon?
Nope i disagree and BCELL even if they did its hard to get what you need
If you don't want your dirty laundry to be aired, don't shit everywhere in the first place.

Yea this too
Every couple of months some part of the US military says WikiLeaks is a potential threat to us. Then they come back and say they found it has not harmed any operations, and it's not even illegal.

This source is incredible bias and nobody should trust it at all.

No bias in that article, no siree
America thinks everything is a threat. They fucking strip search little old ladies, and toddlers at the airport now.

You say that now, but wait until a toddler sneaks a box cutter onto a plane and hijacks it. Then you'll see why this is all necessary.

That'd be interesting to hear a 2 year old shouting "Allahu Ackbar," and forcefully take over a plane.
Honesty I'm surprised that Wikileaks still exists...

[QUOTE=The golden;26137160]Many large organizations have taken interest in info Wikileaks has to offer. The EU for example.[/QUOTE]
Yeah but the big bad USA has the power to shut it down because of the classified info being leaked.
But I guess it's in their political interest to leave it up, fuck if I know. They seem more concerned about PirateBay and Limewire being shut down than classified info being leaked, or so it seems.
And we're showing some gentle rain tonight, Vince, and....

These threads are starting to get old... they all contain the same content and the discussions, for the most part, are all the same. There's like 50 of these threads.

No it isn't.
The USA is the real enemy in the Middle East, not the Taliban.
I have been avoiding these threads like the plague for the simple fact that I, as a soldier with a Top Secret clearance who would be expected to perform delicate operations, have a personal interest in such matters, and as such cannot be expected to see this from any other point of view than the military one, but I have to weigh in just this once. WikiLeaks [i]has[/i] led to the specific and deliberate targeting of certain individuals and units, and people [i]have[/i] been killed as a direct result of it. My battle buddies and I unanimously agree that we want to see nothing less than treason charges for those responsible for WikiLeaks, because those men have directly contributed to the deaths of American people through their actions.
Why in the FUCK would you use the Heritage Foundation as a source?
That's like going to Boehner and asking him if he agrees with Obama's policies.

Right, because the Taliban are just a bunch of swell guys.

Why is it that news sources can't provide anything that actually shows a link between the two? You're a member of the opposed side, there's clearly some bias here

1. assange isn't american so it's not treason
2. there's never been anything shown that's proven any of these leaks hurt anybody.

I don't want to be rude or anything. I respect what you do. I'm just asking on what ground you claim this?
From what I understand, wikileaks have cencored some names of individuals that are believed to be put at risk. Only adding them in the documents that are sent to the EU and UN.
And even if the names were public. In a warzone I find it to be highly unlikely for the enemy to identify soldiers and even officers. I mean, I'm not a soldier and I haven't seen what you've seen. But I'm led to believe that finding a person in such a situation in a place like Iraq or Afghanistan is very difficult.
Are you absolutely certain that those deaths are not purely coincidental? Have people actually caught insurgents that got specific orders to kill a soldier or low ranking officer that were mentioned in those documents published by Wikileaks?
All I'm saying is that it is easy for the mind to interpret two unrelated events as if they were connected.

No offense, but what information that has come from WikiLeaks has endangered individuals or units, and to what extent? Nobody has seen anything that suggests this. I'm not disrespecting you're opinion, it's just that there has been absolutely no news regarding WikiLeaks being the cause of anyone being shot at. It's just been speculated, and the government keeps coming back and stating that they've found no threat as of yet.

You can't be serious.
[QUOTE=GhostSonic;26142288]You can't be serious.[/QUOTE]
the US created the HIV virus to wipe out minorities and gays, LSD mind control experiments, they pardoned the Japanese scientists responsible for Unit 731, and the US is also committing genocide in the middle east
The Taliban just kills people that won't agree with them
there are even more crimes against humanity listed on Wikileaks, no other country besides Nazi Germany has done such things
