I wonder if the DIA/CIA is after him? He needs to be shut up!!! There are just some things I really do not need to know about.

This crap is putting our diplomatic core in danger, not to mention our soldiers.

As stated in several other threads....
1) Wikileaks is a distraction, it is nothing to the story
2) The data was compromised with ease. If it was this simple, you an be sure enemies of the US already have it.
3) The focus needs to be on who accessed/downloaded this data and who the heck implemented a system that essentially had no security.
4) Wikileaks did the US a favor - exposing a badly compromised system. What if this hd not happened and foreign governments had continual easy access to sensitive secrets.

Just think about the start treaty that was negotiated. Assume Russia had access to these cables and new what the US was willing to conceded upfront? This weakens the US position on any negotiations and severely hampers the ability of the US to have advantageous foreign policy negotiations.

People need to start focussing on where the problems are - not wikileaks.
