If they keep releasing stuff like this, I might actually start to like WikiLeaks. I know that the purpose is bad, intended to put an end to the war on terror. But the treachery of the Pakistani intelligence service really is a fact of life that we need to deal with.
I think Bush walked a tightrope, and managed to keep the lid on Pakistan, by making it clear that they would pay a huge penalty if they went too far with this sort of betrayal, but Obama certainly has no such ability or even intention. His sympathies are with the enemy. And his nose needs to be held to the grindstone.
I should add that I’m not talking about the whole release of secrets, much of which is going to be damaging, but this particular angle—that Pakistani intelligence is taking our money and using it to support the Taliban.

Bush managed to control and limit the damage, but Obama certainly is incapable of doing that.
