The articles published today and in coming days are based on thousands of United States embassy cables, the daily reports from the field intended for the eyes of senior policy makers in Washington. The New York Times and a number of publications in Europe were given access to the material several weeks ago and agreed to begin publication of articles based on the cables Sunday online. The Times believes that the documents serve an important public interest, illuminating the goals, successes, compromises and frustrations of American diplomacy in a way that other accounts cannot match.

That term lost its meaning when Jane Fonda went to Hanoi and nothing was done about it.
Sez the American emperor with no clothes with the thin-skinned and authoritarian personal style.
If Wiki is posting all this to internet files, does it really make any difference if the NYT publishes it or not?
I realize the NYT has been a bad outfit for decades, but what difference does their involvement make here?
Gee, I didn't know The NY Slimes cared so much? /sarc
So it's not all bad news.
They don’t have great security in their building. Basically just scan a badge and go thru the turnstyle. A couple of guards there. They may be able to stop the elevators, who knows.
Isn’t it rather hypocritical to lambast the Times for publishing this material when we’re all reading it here on Free Republic as well?
I’ve wondered this, too. Can’t the editor or owners or someone at the NY Times be charged with espionage?
The act of obtaining, delivering, transmitting, communicating, or receiving information about the national defense with an intent, or reason to believe, that the information may be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of any foreign nation. Espionage is a violation of 18 United States Code 792-798 and Article 106, Uniform Code ofMilitary Justice. See also counterintelligence.

sorry about the double post doh!
same group too...who knew?
They would love to put a bullet in the nation's brain but if someone else does it first they at least want to be there to see the body fall.
Schadenfreude for America is their life.
If a conservative, white, middle-class straight man was running the leak site, the Times would be calling the guy a terrorist... especially if he was outing liberals groups ...
So they can find and leak all that and NOT the birth certificate and his university records??? How weird is that.
As much as I detest the New York Slime and other like minded rags, I want the traitors that leaked the materials in the first place. They should be drawn and quartered.
Who oh who would benefit from all these leaked docs??
First I say look to had the OPPORTUNITY to leak them. The “leaker” for the Mil docs was supposed to be some fruitcake DADT Army dude, just how would one guy get all the access? next to impossible on his own.
Then comes diplomatic correspondence by the thousands. I would think only someone “inside the State Dept” would have this access and again it seems im possible that one person could have this much access.
The fingers point directly to nobama and most likely at his boss sorass’ direction.
When they had all 3 branches, chances of anyone actually investigating were zero. Hope the new Pubby House investigates and exposes all.
One would easily question who at the Times had the proper experience and training, let alone authority to know just exactly what would or not entail putting our troops and nation at risk. Unless of course they were hooked up to the red phone in Bos administration....which if that is the case we are certainly in a whole heap of trouble! Didn’t seem to be it could get worse with everything coming down...just one more huge drop in the bucket it does seem now.
