Didn't see this posted.

At any rate, there's a name for the kind of guy that lip-synchs to Lady Gaga.

[Ann Archy]

Flaming GAY!

[Sherman Logan]

Maintaining secrecy is essentially impossible in a digital world.

This is both good and bad.

This little queer needs to be left alone in a room full of Marines for about 5 minutes.

[Eyes Unclouded]

There is another name for an Army that lets a 20 year old waltz off with tons of data and doesn’t detect it at all.

[Signalman]

I still don’t understand how a low-level enlisted punk like this had access to so much classified info. When I was in the military, there was a “need to know” provision. You only had access if you had the appropriate level of security clearance and “the need to know” this information for your job.

Wasn’t ‘don’t ask don’t tell’ offered as the reason for the treason?

[CharlesWayneCT]

We need to make more of the fact that, if the government can’t even protect it’s own SECRET material, we can’t let them NEAR our medical records.

The kid was clearly gay. And, he lived the kind of lifestyle prior to enlisting that was clearly homosexual. How did he pass a background check which would have presumably included field interviews because he clearly had top-secret clearance? Did not a single red-flag go up about this kid’s sexuality during the security screening process?

[PetroniusMaximus]

This is a gigantic Lady Gaga P.R. stunt.

They can’t protect America’s secret information but they WILL AND CAN protect Obama’s personal documents. There is something really wrong here.

Gay spy from Oklahoma!

[The Sons of Liberty]

I'm beginning to be suspicious that the 0bama regime orchestrated the release of these documents for an ulterior motive.

[dragnet2]

China shipped nukes to Iran!!

Whatever..... I'm off to Walmart to get some of those great deals!!

The revelations shot Assange and WikiLeaks to global prominence but led to angry denunciations from the Pentagon and calls from extreme rightwingers in the US that Assange be arrested or even assassinated.

ugh....why does it ALWAYS have to be the evil EXTREME RIGHTWINGERS? You mean to tell me that Hillary isn't extremely angry by being made to look like a fool? And I would suspect that she is NOT an extreme rightwinger. But I know that it always fits the liberal template. "Journalists" can always be counted on to call out the EXTREME RIGHTWINGERS, but somehow they have a problem calling out the EXTREME MUSLIMS.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Yes, so many of the Decision Makers value expediency over security. It's amazing how so many smart people can make the same mistake over and over again.

They wouldn't spend the time and money to monitor this grunt dildo's usage of documents. It would have been so simple.

Obviously Risk Management is not State's forte.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I’ve known people who worked in secure facilities where the rules were NO outside media of any kind (no CD’s thumb drives, etc.). The computers were boxed in wire cages so you could not even insert any media. So how did this happen?

[McGruff]

The leaked cables range up to the "SECRET NOFORN" level, which means they are meant never to be shown to non-US citizens.

No quite CLASSIFIED but still smells fishy.

[Psycho_Bunny]

It wasn’t a leak. It was treason.
