U.S. Army analyst arrested for alleged leak of video, documents to Wikileaks
The Hill ^ | June 7, 2010 | Gautham Nagesh
Posted on June 7, 2010 9:48:14 AM PDT by jazusamo

A U.S. Army intelligence analyst serving in Iraq has been arrested by federal officials for allegedly leaking classified information to the online whistleblower site Wikileaks, according to a Wired blog.

Specialist Bradley Manning, 22, of Potomac, Md., is reportedly the source of the controversial video of a 2007 American helicopter strike that claimed the lives of several bystanders. Wikileaks published that video in April.
Manning reportedly became a target of the investigation after boasting of leaking more than a quarter of a million classified documents to former hacker Adrian Lamo, who reported him to the Army. Lamo claimed, via his Twitter account on Sunday evening, that he did so out of concern for national security.
“I outed Manning as an alleged leaker out of duty. I would never out an Ordinary Decent Criminal. There’s a difference,” Lamo tweeted. “I’m heartsick for Manning and his family. I hope they can forgive me some day for doing what I felt had to be done.”

According to chat transcripts provided to Wired, Manning claimed to have collected and leaked a wide range of classified information to Wikileaks. They included a video showing the 2009 Garani airstrike in Afghanistan that Wikileaks has said before it possesses, a classified Army document discussing Wikileaks as a security threat that the site published in March, and 260,000 classified U.S. diplomatic cables.

“Hillary Clinton, and several thousand diplomats around the world are going to have a heart attack when they wake up one morning, and find an entire repository of classified foreign policy is available, in searchable format, to the public,” Manning wrote, claiming the cables expose “almost criminal political back dealings.”

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange tweeted early Monday that “If Brad Manning, 22, is the ‘Collateral Murder’ & Garani massacre whistleblower then, without doubt, he’s a national hero.” He also referred to Lamo and Wired reporter Kevin Poulson, who broke the story, as “notorious felons, informers and manipulators.”

Assange also claimed the Washington Post had the “Collateral Murder” video of the helicopter attack for more than a year but did not release it to the public.

The Pentagon on Monday released the following statement: “United States Division-Center is currently conducting an investigation of Spc. Bradley Manning, 22, of Potomac, Md., who is deployed with 2nd Brigade 10th Mountain Division, in Baghdad, Iraq.

He was placed in pre-trial confinement for allegedly releasing classified information and is currently confined in Kuwait.

The Department of Defense takes the management of classified information very seriously because it affects our national security, the lives of our Soldiers, and our operations abroad. The results of the investigation will be released upon completion of the investigation.”

Why Is Wikileaks Collecting Military Email Addresses?

Why Is Wikileaks Collecting Military Email Addresses?Helicopter video-leakers Wikileaks just asked for a “list of as many .mil email addresses as possible” via Twitter. That is weird. What are they up to?

(Okay...I know this is a bit off topic, but this really brought back some memories of that day!)

LOL...it WAS cold that morning...you guys must have froze your tail off on those motorbikes...we were there around 0730 with the DC Chapter (what an amazing bunch of dedicated Americans they are) and it was damn cold. We were in front of Walter Reed the night before, and it was miserably cold, with sleet and freezing rain!

But I'll tell you, I wasn't about to even utter a peep.

We had these guys out there, and I didn't hear them bitching (a lot) so I certainly wasn't about to puss out...:)

That was a real privilege to meet those guys. I still think they nearly single-handedly saved us from ending up with the scumbag Kerry as President.

This wasn't YOU was it?

Here we were at 0730...

This is where we ended up before the moonbats came over...

Here was a group of Marines who hung out with us, they had been over in Iraq together were now back stateside and were paying their respects to one of their fallen buddies in Arlington when they saw us and came over to join the counter-protest with us...

This was on the front page of the Washington Post the next day. One of the moonbats was dressed in fatigues and brandishing his DD214, saying something like "...the Bush administration was responsible for the deaths of soldiers in Iraq because they didn't provide them with armored vehicles..." when this guy leaped at him and had to be restrained by his buddy. He yelled at him something like "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE **** YOU"RE TALKING ABOUT, YOU WEREN'T THERE-I WAS THERE..."

These guys were great. We had a hilarious experience while waiting for the moonbats to come over the bridge...

As we waited, a white van came roaring over the bridge, came to a stop and some guys got out with some boxes which they carried down the embankment at the end of the bridge, then they came back up, jumped in the van and roared off.

We all saw it, and said "What the hell was that? What did they put down there?" It was obvious we all thought it might have been explosives. While we pondered this, three of the Marines just ran across the road to check it out while two of their buddies called after them "What the hell are you guys doing? It could be a bomb for Christ's sake!"

A few minutes later, they came running back with big grins on their faces...they said the boxes contained anti-war and Marxist literature which the moonbats apparently hoped to hand out to protesters coming across the bridge. The Marines said "We took care of it...we pissed all over them!" We just fell out laughing...

A little later, we saw some moonbats go down there, and you could see them daintily picking up the wet papers in puzzlement...:)

[packrat35]

I was refering to the current nitwit caught stealing classified info. I know all about Slovak and he got what was coming to him. Read up some more on him. He was a real dirtball.

[packrat35]

Interesting fact is Eisenhower was the one who had the final word on Slovak and Bennett.

[K-oneTexas]

Sorry, read your comment wrong.

It is interesting Ike was still in the loop for these two. The current case should receive the max penalty also, to be sure. However, it remains to be seen. All the spies we have tried were civilians and not met the ultimate penalty.

Only spies tied, convicted and executed were the Rosenberg’s and that was a few years back too.

[I Buried My Guns]

Coincidentally, there is a lauding, adulating article in the New Yorker mag/rag about this case. They portray the Wikileak founder as some type of god because he hates America.

[conimbricenses]

Note that he didn't just lift a video and send it to Wikileaks. He also stole and released 260,000 classified US State Department diplomatic cables."

I've got mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, they were classified cables. On the other hand, he single-handedly created a diplomatic nightmare for Hildebeast and hundreds of Obama donors who got cushy ambassador jobs for donating to his campaign.

That latter part has to be worth at least something in the case for leniency.

[RedStateRocker]

Too much stuff is classified.
The burden of proof should be on the government to *PROVE* that every single document, image or video should be classified. And at that for no longer than ten years or so. It should be *VERY* hard to classify anything, Make a legal presumption of declassification unless it can be proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt that the item in question would lead to the death of U.S. military personnel or citizens or the quantifiable damaging of American interests.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant. I’m sorry some journalists were ‘embedded’ with some bad guys, happens, here’s the video, kiddies, mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be jihadies. It’s not like it’s going to change the way our enemies feel about us, is it? Sure it might traumatize some latte drinking liberals, BFD.

I’d even say that an honest appraisal of the ‘Pentagon Papers’ would show that having those out there was better, in the long run, for our Republic. It showed the incompetence and delusion of the Kennedy and Johnson administrations and I, personally, think that every POTUS and their staff should have, hanging over their heads, the fact that eventually everything they have written, said, and done will become public record; they are are our paid staff, after all. We citizens are members of a free republic, we have the right to know what those we select to lead us are doing and have done; yes we should prosecute those who give information actually useful to our adversaries, but the burden of proof should be high and heavy to show that the information in question provided tangible and concrete aid to our enemies and is not merely embarrassing information that someone would rather have not see light of day.

We need to seriously limit how much can even *BE* classified and for how long. It would be better for nothing to be classified than for everything the government wanted classified to be forever perfectly hidden.

The White House

Office of the Press Secretary

For Immediate Release July 25, 2010
Statement of National Security Advisor General James Jones on Wikileaks

The United States strongly condemns the disclosure of classified information by individuals and organizations which could put the lives of Americans and our partners at risk, and threaten our national security. Wikileaks made no effort to contact us about these documents – the United States government learned from news organizations that these documents would be posted. These irresponsible leaks will not impact our ongoing commitment to deepen our partnerships with Afghanistan and Pakistan; to defeat our common enemies; and to support the aspirations of the Afghan and Pakistani people.

The documents posted by Wikileaks reportedly cover a period of time from January 2004 to December 2009. On December 1, 2009, President Obama announced a new strategy with a substantial increase in resources for Afghanistan, and increased focus on al Qaeda and Taliban safe-havens in Pakistan, precisely because of the grave situation that had developed over several years. This shift in strategy addressed challenges in Afghanistan that were the subject of an exhaustive policy review last fall. We know that serious challenges lie ahead, but if Afghanistan is permitted to slide backwards, we will again face a threat from violent extremist groups like al Qaeda who will have more space to plot and train. That is why we are now focused on breaking the Taliban’s momentum and building Afghan capacity so that the Afghan government can begin to assume responsibility for its future. The United States remains committed to a strong, stable, and prosperous Afghanistan.

Since 2009, the United States and Pakistan have deepened our important bilateral partnership. Counter-terrorism cooperation has led to significant blows against al Qaeda’s leadership. The Pakistani military has gone on the offensive in Swat and South Waziristan, at great cost to the Pakistani military and people. The United States and Pakistan have also commenced a Strategic Dialogue, which has expanded cooperation on issues ranging from security to economic development. Pakistan and Afghanistan have also improved their bilateral ties, most recently through the completion of a Transit-Trade Agreement. Yet the Pakistani government – and Pakistan’s military and intelligence services – must continue their strategic shift against insurgent groups. The balance must shift decisively against al Qaeda and its extremist allies. U.S. support for Pakistan will continue to be focused on building Pakistani capacity to root out violent extremist groups, while supporting the aspirations of the Pakistani people.

Official Rejects Claim WikiLeaks Offered Document Review

By Army Sgt. 1st Class Michael J. Carden
American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, July 30, 2010 – A claim by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange that the U.S. government had an opportunity to review stolen military documents published on the group’s website is untrue, a Pentagon spokesman said today.

“It’s absolutely false that WikiLeaks contacted the White House and offered to have them look through the documents,” Marine Corps Col. David Lapan said.

The website recently published tens of thousands of classified documents spanning the timeframe January 2004 through December 2009 that reportedly were given to several U.S. and international media outlets weeks ago. The documents detail field reports from Afghanistan and an alleged Pakistani partnership with the Taliban. The documents also include names of Afghan informants who work or have worked with the U.S. military.

Assange told “ABC Lateline” in Australia last night that WikiLeaks and several media groups contacted the White House prior to releasing the documents for assistance in reviewing them to make sure innocent names were not released. White House officials declined, he said.

He added that White House officials were not given “veto” power, but were given an opportunity help WikiLeaks minimize potential danger to informants and innocent civilians named in the cables. The New York Times acted on behalf of WikiLeaks, he said.

“We never had the opportunity to look at any of the documents in advance to determine anything,” Lapan said. “The documents were brought to the attention of the White House, but no copies of documents, or opportunities to review were given.”

Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said yesterday that Defense Department officials have asked the FBI to assist in investigating the leak of the classified material. Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said those responsible for the leak may have the blood of U.S. servicemembers and Afghan civilians on their hands.

Biden: Pakistani Support for Taliban ‘In the Past’

By Lisa Daniel
American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, July 29, 2010 – Vice President Joe Biden today acknowledged that some people in Pakistan’s intelligence community had supported the Taliban, but he said that situation is changing.

“That’s been a problem in the past, it’s a problem we’re dealing with, and [it] is changing,” Biden said in an interview that aired on NBC’s “Today” television show this morning. The interview with Ann Curry was taped yesterday while Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, were at Fort Drum, N.Y., to welcome home the Army’s 10th Mountain Division’s 2nd Brigade Combat Team from Iraq.

Biden’s comments referenced WikiLeaks’ July 25 Web posting of at least 75,000 secret documents on the war in Afghanistan spanning from January 2004 to December 2009. One issue highlighted in the documents involves allegations that members of the Pakistani intelligence agency, ISI, supported the Taliban while accepting U.S. funding to fight against them. President Barack Obama announced the current U.S. policy in Afghanistan, to include Pakistan, in December 2009.

“All those leaks predate our policy,” Biden said. “Not one leak is consistent with our policy announced in December.” He added that no U.S. money was diverted from its stated purposes in Pakistan.

Asked to justify U.S. spending in Afghanistan, Biden said the U.S. mission there is not “nation-building,” but to stamp out al-Qaida so the terrorist group cannot continue to threaten the United States.

“We are in Afghanistan for one express purpose: al-Qaida, and its threat to the United States,” he said. “We’re not there to nation build. We’re not there to turn this into a Jeffersonian democracy. We’re not there for ten years. We’re there to defeat al-Qaida, which operates there, and [the situation] is a clear and present danger to the U.S.”

When asked how the United States and NATO coalition can defeat al-Qaida when it operates in Pakistan, Biden responded, “I assure you, we are doing significant damage to al-Qaida in Pakistan, as well as in Afghanistan. We’re making progress, but the truth of the matter is there’s more to go.”

On Iraq, Biden said there should be no concerns that reducing troop strength to 50,000 by September 1 will cause an explosion in insurgent violence there.
“I can’t guarantee anything, but I’m willing to bet everything there won’t be any such explosion,” he said. “Neither I, nor General [Raymond T.] Odierno, or the Pentagon, or the people who have been on the ground so many times think that is likely to happen.

“We’ll still have 50,000, battle-tested, combat troops in Iraq who are going from leading combat to supporting Iraqi combat capability,” he added.

“Researcher detained at U.S. border, questioned about Wikileaks”
by Elinor Mills

LAS VEGAS —

SNIPPET: “Jacob Appelbaum, a Seattle-based programmer for the online privacy protection project called Tor, arrived at the Newark, New Jersey, airport from Holland flight Thursday morning when he was pulled aside by customs and border protection agents who told him he was randomly selected for a security search, according to the sources familiar with the matter who asked to remain anonymous.

Appelbaum, a U.S. citizen, was taken into a room, frisked and his bag was searched. Receipts from his bag were photocopied and his laptop was inspected but it’s not clear in what manner, the sources said. Officials from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Army then told him he was not under arrest but was being detained, the sources said. They asked questions about Wikileaks, asked for his opinions about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and asked where Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is, but he declined to comment without a lawyer present, according to the sources. He was not permitted to make a phone call, they said.

After about three hours, Appelbaum was given his laptop back but the agents kept his three mobile phones, sources said.”

“Military Homosexual Scandal Tied to WikiLeaks Treason”
BY CLIFF KINCAID | AUGUST 1, 2010

SNIPPET: “The riveting Telegraph account of Manning’s growing rage and anger raises serious questions of how the soldier was able to flaunt his homosexuality despite the fact that the Pentagon still officially has a policy in place of excluding open homosexuals from military service.

In the scandal involving the theft and release of classified military information that could cost the lives of U.S. military personnel, the British Telegraph newspaper is reporting that the American soldier at the center of the scandal was “openly homosexual” and apparently held a grudge against the U.S. because of the military’s anti-gay policy.

In another bizarre twist, reliable reports suggest that Private First Class Bradley Manning, the U.S. Army Intelligence analyst accused of leaking the classified information to the WikiLeaks.org website, was not only a homosexual but was considering a sex change.”

SNIPPET: “Commenting on transcripts of chats between Manning and Lamo, the website known as “QueerTV” said that Manning “might be one of us” and that the conversations “reveal the soldier might identify as transgender.”

Manning’s affinity on his Facebook page for “Repeal the Ban” is also significant. It is a project of a group called Servicemembers United, which describes itself as “the nation’s largest organization of gay and lesbian troops and veterans, their allies and supporters.” The group receives financial support from the Open Society Institute of billionaire George Soros.

As the military and the FBI attempt to get to the bottom of what Manning allegedly did and for what reason, the need for an investigation of homosexual misconduct in the Armed Forces—before any change in policy is adopted by Congress—has been presented in dramatic fashion.”
