Hitler had some allies in Spain. The D-Day planners took a cadaver, put some documents on him to indicate where and when the invasion would be and let the body land ashore in Spain. The info was taken to the Germans and based on that info, Hitler set orders for fortifications way north of the actual invasion point.
They weren’t stupid. They practiced counterespionage techniques and gave out misinformation. Hey, they might even have mention Normandy as an alternative. The Germans certainly thought Normandy was an alternative.
But, these leaks are different. They show that the people in the US and UK governments are doing some dirty deals and they are trying to keep secrets from the public.
What national security is threatened by exposing how Hillary Clinton tried to buy support for the Global Warming Copenhagen treaty to enslave American taxpayers?
amen,,, what you said
Yes ok, but the problem is that these leaks are SELECTIVE. Truth has to be interpreted, but how can you do that when you only have one lot of documents? So, for example, Wikileaks releases a document from Hilary Clinton advising US diplomats to spy on other nations at the UN. Everyone goes “oooh...naughty rights-trampling Americans!” But, for all we know, the diplomats might have sent messages back (that wikileaks doesn’t have) saying “No can do, Hitlery. That’s illegal”. You might think that’s unlikely, but it could have happened. We don’t know. More likely, EVERY government instructs its representatives to do some dirty dealing at the UN, but because the US is the only one Wikileaks has named, they are the only ones who get the mud thrown at them.
