As a view of more reality tv than I care to admit to, rules are as follows:

1. Hyperbole and affectation have evolved into an art form.

2. Queers believe from Minute 1, the show is centered around them, is about them and judging is merely a formality.

That being stated, this Pfc. Manning is a composite character, created from whole cloth using nObama's psych profile as the template.

All thats needed is to hang a few people for treason and sedition.. to send a message to moles and would-be moles..
You know..... public hangings..

Meaning democrats and Rinos..

There are really two possibilities: we’ve either, in the name of “sharing,” completely forgotten all the lessons that have been learned, at great cost, over the “War Century”; or there is someone else, with much broader access that Pfc. Manning, who was really behind this leak. And either conclusion should scare us silly.

I am fearful that Obama will continue on through the Wicked Gate without impeachment....

This is all deliberate, maliciously intended and purposeful in Obamas nefarious agenda of bringing down the west. Take down America, the leader, and the rest follows. Assange is just a little player like ROSA BROOKS but cumulatively they have their effect. For Asssange? Obama eased his path. Much like Obama is easing the path for the OIC based UN to come into the US to hunt “War Criminals”.

Obama , culturally never was an American as he carries many chips on his shoulder and as we see from his old culture at many levels. He feels for his Kenyan identity, he feels for his muslim identity, and he feels his angst against white and America....

On top of it, Obama is a Muslim wanabe or Wahabe, I call him a ghazi.

“One of the prettiest sounds on earth” is the Muslim call to prayer at sunset.
Barack Hussein Obama as quoted by Nicholas D. Kristof in the New York Times - March 6, 2007

• The FIRST thing Obama did as a newly elected Illinois State Senator was to attempt to declare a Muslim holiday. Obama sponsored Bill SR0110 in the 90th General Assembly to declare November 1, 1997 to be Islamic Community Center Day. It did not pass.

All this brings on a interesting question... how can America have any struggle against Islam, or protect herself with the most powerful muslim in the world sitting in the White House?

Be wary, wary aware ....and wary, wary afraid...get prepared for more creeping sharia...more than what is coming out of the White House today

Are we really giving any random person with a SECRET clearance access to this much information, including video of Baghdad firefights and Special Forces operation reports?

If the owners of that info are dumb enough to leave it in the open, then yes. Consider your average bureaucrat and his knowledge of computer security concepts and procedures.

had forbidden people to even bring CDs and thumb drives in to secure areas in 2008.

Making it forbidden and strip-searching everyone coming and going are two different things. I also blame it on lax local system admins who did not lock out the ability of the systems to write to CD, unless he had a job that required him to do that so had an exception.

We do investigations before giving people clearances so that we have a reasonable expectation to be able to trust them. Sometimes that trust is violated. And then we usually send those people to jail.

Well, I’m with Rush. Where’s the birth certificate and the proof Bush was in on 9/11 and lied about WMD’s in Iraq? Where’s the good stuff?

We all knew in our hearts that NK, Russia and China were sending nuclear material and technology to Iran. We all knew that Russia had devolved into another Kleptocracy, We all knew the current administration had disdain for our allies. We all knew that the Saudi’s wanted an attack on Iran. We all knew Karzai was a corrupt little weasel. I’m waiting for Wikileaks to tell us something we did not know. Where is that pesky birth certificate?

[mmercier]

Our intel people are in fact quite competent.

This whole wikidink thing is a successful operation.

Someone will write a book about it next decade, if there are still books being published.

In facilities where media is brought into a TS space, it generally only leaves by being shredded and burned. Disk drives are disassembled and the platters dissolved in acid. There is generally a "two man rule" as well. You don't enter a TS facility alone. When you are "read in" to a program, you also acknowledge the penalty for disclosure can include life in prison or the death penalty. Manning committed the breach with full knowledge of the consequences. If they are not applied, then others will follow his bad example.

Possibility one is that a government contractor or govt bureaucrat was incompetent. Possibility two is a theoretical and highly speculative set of circumstances. I'll go with possibility one.
