The online version the New York Post editorial in today's issue harshly criticizing WikiLeaks for publishing stolen classified Pentagon Afghan war documents without redacting them to prevent Afghans from facing retribution from the Taliban has been hacked.
Attempts to access the editorial directly through NYPost.com and through Google result in being directed to Pages.US.com
WikiLeaks and its founder, reputed computer hacker Julian Assange, have come under criticism from allies Reporters Without Borders and Amnesty International for outing Afghans without regard to their safety.
This week, Assange called Afghans aiding the U.S. in the fight against al Qaeda and the Taliban "genuinely traitorous." That terrorist-supporting statement is inluded in the hacked Post editorial, according to a Google search return.

Excerpt from the Post Op-Ed page:
WikiKills
WikiLeaks, the anti-war group that dumped 75,000 pages of secret US military material onto the Internet, may already have blood on its hands -- even as it gets set to dump another 15,000 pages, putting more lives at risk.
A Google search returns the Post editorial with the headline: WikiLeaks Helps the Taliban Kill in Afghanistan.
Below is a URL that one is redirected to when attempting to access the Post WikiLeaks editorial:

How come there are no leaks about Russia, Putin, Chavez, Cuba, Iran etc?
From the picture, he looks like he’s related to Soros.
Frankly, I don’t expect any action out of our government on this. He’s on the same side as our president, and that is not the side of America.
One word
MOSSAD
The dude that leaks this stuff is no better than the enemy we are fighting in the war on terror. He is the quintessential enemy withing, along with his willing accomplices on the left.
There was a time not long ago when this kind of activity and the persons perpetrating it would have been terminated with extreme prejudice.
“The guy behind these leaks should be carbombed.”
Nah. The appropriate punishment would be for some smart hacker to break into his web site and plant his name among the leaked names of informants in various after action reports.
This guy is only making the public aware of what is out there.
The Chinese and other world enemies have these kind of hacking skills galore. Nothing much is safe anymore.
If we don’t do it nobody else will.
More and more I realize that the important matters are being left to the common people, because those who have the positions have no “sacred honor” to risk.
They will not risk their jobs or estates, which gives us greater evidence on how wonderful and principled the Founding Fathers were.
The hacks have been stopped or fixed. All three sites attacked are working now.
America is controlled by the saudis and the saudi mole. TV networks - all of them helped and continue to help. the networks own ALL the channels.
Keep watching and supporting them. The public is so stupid.
Manning is in custody - why isn’t Julie?
Because he's a foreign national. As annoying as he may be, we can't simply run around the world applying US law to citizens of other countries in other countries.
Give this guy enough rope to hang himself with though and he eventually will.

Well, just to be technical Afghans helping foreign soldiers operate within their own country could indeed qualify as treason... so I won’t fault the guy for claiming that Afghan-support of US operations is treason. {But then again, there are foreign members of Al Queda & the Taliban [IIRC] and helping those would, by the same token, be treason as well.}
>> WHy is this Asausage guy not in jail?
Apparently, it’s not that important. And stop calling him a sausage.
Actually, he is an enemy of the American state.
An “off-target” JDAM works for me.... =.=
Because of the encrypted “Insurance” file on his site. If something happens to him the contents of the fill will be released.
Fill=file
Typical fascist liberals, they only like dissent for themselves.
