Wikileaks release of more classified US documents

[BeachSiO2]

I was wondering if anyone was following the upcoming Wikileaks release. The Italian Foreign Minister is saying the release is "9/11 of world diplomacy". This could get ugly quick!

It is an unfortunate occurance that has been let happen but now the administration deems it worthy of criminal.

It would be interesting to see if Assange would release such a trove of papers if they were from China or Russio.

We know how Putin deals with people who do journalistic things that he doesn't like. Alexander Litvinenko and others come readily to mind.

I doubt that the Chinese would be as restrained as the Russians have been.

I like the idea of declaring Wikileaks a terrorist organization and seizing any assets it has in the United States. We could then use them toware debt reduction.

While I think transparency and showing what is actually going on are good, I am not liking that some website is obtaining and broadcasting classified info.

While it may make you as a journalist happy, it makes me as a retired military man outraged. It puts people with their lives on the line in danger in many cases. Even if it didn't, not everything that goes on in this nation should be open to everyone's purview. As you are well aware, AL, the 4th estate has certain responsibilities as well as certain duties. I am speaking of the release of any documents considered "classified", not just the bank data.

As much as I hate these banks, I hate this more. I want the information to come from FBI raids based on warrants issued by a judge.

This was bound to happen: hackers disrupting his site:

I can't wait until some Malaysian hacker posts Assange's bank account numbers.

I don't see Assange as a journalist, I see him as an activist.

Wikileaks is a terrorist organization. We should act to shut the servers down by any means neccessary, seize assets, apprehend Assange, try him and shoot him. The "soldier" who leaked the documents should be tried and shot following conviction. The only way to stop treason and placing human lives in danger for no reason is to deal with it harshly.
