I don’t mind this Assange goofball, or anyone else, releasing embarassing info, or anything that cries out for investigation - like what the hell the fed is up to, but any release of classified material that may put our military personnel, intelligence communities, national security, allies, etc. - in other words, lives on the line due to the release, should be met with SEVERE CONSEQUENCES for the leakers.
Eh, issue I have is if the Gov had it’s druthers, everything would be Classified, which is why I like the wikileaks work, but think it would be better if there were more transparency across the board by the .Gov.
I also believe the wikileaks stuff that pertains to the US Military, the things that the Military has done in the WoT, show the tremendous character of our fine men and women in uniform.
“Even when” they had no reason to think whatever they were doing would never come to light, they still behaved in a manner that should make every American proud of them.
Granted Americans should be and are proud of them already, however when the test came, they passed it with flying colors much to the chagrin of the far left.
“any release of classified material that may put our military personnel, intelligence communities, national security, allies, etc. - in other words, lives on the line due to the release, should be met with SEVERE CONSEQUENCES for the leakers.”

I am sick to death of this Wikileaks-risking-the-lives-of-our-troops nonsense.
You want to know who should meet with “severe consequences” for endangering our troops? The politicians, bureaucrats, State Department traitors and globalists who have been sending our men off to die in meaningless conflicts they were never expected to, or allowed to, win.
Since WWII ended they have been entangling our troops in dangerous situations that have truly questionable bearings on “national security,” and then tying the troops’ hands with sadistic rules of engagement.
That Wikileaks is exposing these sorts of shenanigans, and may do so in other arenas, is a breath of fresh air.
You name me one soldier or sailor who dies as a result of Wikileaks. I’ll show you a wall with the names of 50,000 of my generation sent to die for no good reason, and you can add to that list the names from Korea, all the Gulf War I and WOT crap in the Middle East, and all the myriad little skirmishes in Third World backwaters where we lost men for no justifiable reason.
