U.S. Bracing for Release of More Secret Documents

The Obama administration is bracing for yet another unauthorized release of classified government documents, which officials say this time could damage U.S. relations with close allies.

Government officials say WikiLeaks, the website responsible for exposing hundreds of thousands of secret reports related to the Afghan and Iraq wars, could dump its next round of documents as soon as Friday or this weekend. This time the State Department is on alert as WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, has said the organization has access to several hundred thousand sensitive diplomatic cables.

"We are prepared for the worst -- and the worst is that this will have an impact on our diplomatic relations with many, many countries," State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said. "They are going to create tension in relationships between our diplomats and our friends around the world."

I have a hard time believing some low level intelligence puke is responsible for all these leaks...

Any classified document is always under a chain of custody procedure. If any document is transmitted electronically, someone knows the origin and the person who sent it. Anything outside the approved recipients would immediately be flagged before it is even sent. And this was from my time as a crypto tech in the early 70’s.

This is a huge inside job by someone connected to the WH who had access and then setup the person or “dupe” to take the fall.

When are they going to take these secrets leakers, line them up against a wall and dispose of them?

Agreed. This is all too convenient for the Obama agenda of reducing America's power in the world. They display casual, almost dismissive attitude in response to what they characterize as severe security breaches. Then they make no effort to stop it or to bring the criminals to justice. They just announce that its happening and let it go...Obama is aiding and abetting this exercise, imo.

The 60’s radicals who violently protested our government then are now in the highest levels of government. Their work is not yet done, they will continue to weaken us through various efforts until we round them up for the traitors they are.

Have any of them thought the next step through? Once they have created a Africa, who is going to employ them? OR Who , which foreign group is going to move in and try to take it over in its weakened state? With a collapse, where are their jobs/food/toiletries? Where did their SUV go? Why did their family get killed?

Idiots. Useful idiots....

All these leaks are from the same guy who’s already in custody. All of it’s available on SIPRNET so its completely within the power of one person to download it all and leak it. Classified systems really shouldn’t have burners and USB drives.

You are right.

But I doubt any of them will be rounded up and be prosecuted.

The justice department and federal judiciary have got their backs.

I respectfully call BS on your assertion as to who is to blame. No place, no where does a PFC have access to State Department information unless someone gave it to him. Just because you have access to military classified documents does not give any access at all to State Department classified files.

The chain of custody rules also address in a big way with the very basic “Need to Know” rules for the dissemination of any of the documents. He would need very unusual permission to have access to information other than was necessary to his immediate job and that access would be very documented.

I agree with you except for one thing: I think that these ‘leaks’ are purposefully done by 0Dumbo and his ilk. Not just yet sure of the reason. Perhaps it might have something to do with taking down Bush, or our country.

I was hopefully assuming most would have caught my drift. You have kinda validated my intentions. By stating the obvious, it is a tactic to inspire out of the box thinking. You sir have passed.

As for those who think nothing will come of this, hang in there because Darrell Issa is about to pounce with both feet with lead boots. Is it any wonder why this is coming out now instead after the innaugural for the new members of Congress? They have to get it out now to do as much damage to hopefully make anything subsequent impossible to overcome.

Essentially create as much of a crepitation storm as possible to eliminate any forseeable wind for the sails of a Republican Congress.

Gosh I hope you are right with Issa. I hope that Issa will stand firm against 0Dumbo.

IMO: Our country is about to explode.

Not all but it gives access to some. Based on the numbers being given it’s very clear where he got it. And you might recall that when the news first came out about his arrest the blogger who turned him in mentioned this very leak.

Those behind this need to be hanged from the tallest tree, including the Wikileaks scumbag.
