German press reports original cables kept by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange accidentally released online. Information exposes identities of US sources as well as Israeli, Iranian intelligence agents. The original US State Department documents obtained by WikiLeaks were accidentally leaked online revealing the names of sources that have thus far remained anonymous, German newspapers Der Spiegel and Freitag Der reported Monday. The names include possible Israeli, Iranian and Jordanian intelligence agents. The unedited cables could put the sources in danger as many of them are located in countries whose governments are hostile to the US. The classified documents were edited before their distribution over six months ago, but the original key file which has been leaked reveals information originally censored by WikiLeaks editors. According to the German reports, one of the documents quotes an Iranian informant as saying that the Iranian people have always tried to maintain the impression they were following the "stupid and crazy ayatollahs." ...Daniel Domscheit-Berg, Assange's former deputy and spokesman, was the only person to have access to the original cables which were kept on an external server and locked with a password. At the end of 2010, Domscheit-Berg returned documents he had taken with him back to WikiLeaks... A group of Assange's supporters uploaded the information, which was encrypted, to the internet without noticing the documents had not been edited and include the names of the US administration sources... Domscheit-Berg's news site OpenLeaks exposed the blunder to prove that Assange's site was unprotected.

I could give them a list of other garbage that needs to be removed.......
Wikileaks = Obama.
Randy Julian best watch out for who he picks up in hotel bars from now on...
I hope you are right, but it won't be us. We are a nation led by simpering, craven pussies. Our grandfathers would have gunned down Assange in the street and made the Wikileaks server farm a smoking hole in the ground. But all we can do is wring our hands and weakly admonish as if we were speaking to a Kindergarten kid who drew on the wall with his finger paints.
Unfortunately, the same disease has spread to Israel. We can only hope they aren't as far advanced as we are.
Not funny, but the final act in the play titled “Anti-Americanism”.
