Yet TSA strip searches common citizens who wish to travel by plane to a nearby state to visit relatives???
Outrageous irony of the first degree.

An innocuous-looking memory stick, no longer than a couple of fingernails, came into the hands of a Guardian reporter earlier this year. The device is so small it will hang easily on a keyring. But its contents will send shockwaves through the world's chancelleries and deliver what one official described as "an epic blow" to US diplomacy.

The US military believes it knows where the leak originated. A soldier, Bradley Manning, 22, has been held in solitary confinement for the last seven months and is facing a court martial in the new year. The former intelligence analyst is charged with unauthorised downloads of classified material while serving on an army base outside Baghdad. He is suspected of taking copies not only of the state department archive, but also of video of an Apache helicopter crew gunning down civilians in Baghdad, and hundreds of thousands of daily war logs from military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.

“With your background, you certainly understand that you can design a system with the highest degree of security possible, but if someone gets the password out (or actually writes it on a piece of paper and tapes it about the system console) your anchor chain that supposed to hold an aircraft carrier in place against the current cannot hold a floating leaf in place.”
Absolutely, what I’m wondering about is that the system/systems he had access to had all the data on them and available. Someone, several someones, above him need to be in jail forthwith. All I’m seeing is ‘this is the superspy’, hang him, shoot him.
It’s going to be really interesting to see how this plays out.
Why is this posted here under “homosexual agenda”? In Manning a homosexual?
Apparently. I’m not the one who tagged it.
George Soro’s funded Manning to get the documents so they could be released to finalize the mis-trust of the US Government so we can take another step toward Communism/Socialism/Tyranny...take your pick
Because the Chinese would send some folks out to kill them.
I read in one of the leak threads that these is/was a program in place to share “relevant” information between agencies.

What possible happened is the State Dept weenies decided that it was too much work and inconvenience to deal with the systems that manage top-secret documents, and so classified lots of stuff at a much lower level than they should have.
That is what I think happened.
God forbid the incompetent, lazy people at the State Department actually get off their butts and do WORK.
The State Department has been staffed with liberals (and communist sympathizers/members) since FDR took over, and probably before that.
I'll bet the soldiers who worked with him knew he shouldn't have been trusted.
Uhhh... you forgot the NY Slimes.
