The WikiLeaks uproar has folks jumping all over President Obama's administration for a variety of alleged sins of omission and commission.
Sarah Palin weighed in big time on Facebook, blasting the administration for "incompetently handling the whole fiasco," and for not going after WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange with greater urgency.
She tweeted that the administration might have gone to court to stop the disclosures. "Inexplicable: I recently won in court to stop my book 'America by Heart' from being leaked," she wrote, "but US Govt can't stop Wikileaks' treasonous act?"
Probably not. We're told there's a big legal difference between copyright law and First Amendment law. Also, while Assange might be charged, there was this Supreme Court case a long time ago, something about publishing the Pentagon Papers. . .
Meanwhile, relying on a newspaper account - some of the actual cables have not been made public - Military Families United excoriated the administration for using "taxpayer money . . . to pay off foreign governments to accept these dangerous security leaks," namely prisoners from Guantanamo Bay.
The New York Times had reported that "the island nation of Kiribati," an archipelago way out in the Pacific and one of the poorest nations on Earth, with a population of about 100,000, "was offered incentives worth million of dollars to take in Chinese Muslim detainees."

>> This Assange guy.... Not as diabolical, heinous as I first thought. :-)
I’m not a big fan of the guy himself, or his methods... but I gotta admit, the *results* so far have been kinda fun.
My opinion will change quickly if lives of decent people are lost as a result of his games.
Anyone heard from Mitt on this? Newt? Huck? Anybody...?
Here to the silver lining that Obama gets exposed big time by this leak.
What I’ve read and seen sofar, which has been leaked, is the only people who will be “embarrassed” by this are politicians and bureaucrats.
The release of this information was a ploy by the Obama
administration to institute draconian security during the
next two years of his term.
As for first amendment considerations doesn't national security trump that? We're talking about an administration Regime that redefined the passage of a bill through congress with 0bamacare, sued a sovereign state of the US on behalf of a foreign government, redefined bankruptcy law to give shareholders and bond holders the shaft while taking care of the UAW and shut down websites for bootleg handbags. Don't tell me they were powerless against the wikileaks guy. I aint buying it.
Everyone is missing the point that BO & HRC & the corrupt state department have planted and watered the WikiLeaks seed - and I bet my life they are all in bed together. Within the last 2 to 3 months, the BO administration allowed treasonous secrets to leak to worldwide news organizations without lifting a hand to stop the creep doing it.
Now, BO & his cult have spotlighted the latest leaks and have made sure they get the utmost attention by ‘sexing’ them up with news teases that these latest disclosures will forever hurt our foreign relations. Yep - their trying to make sure that our country cannot be trusted with our foreign allies.
Just when I think this devil cannot do any more damage than he’s done already, I’m proven wrong. WikiLeaks is a shell game and we’re the pawns.
Anyone care to make a wager when he’ll propose legislation to crack down on the internet, Chinese style.

Maybe, but why then is he wanting to put a bunch of fags in the military? It’s common knowledge those fellas suck at keeping secrets.
Hey, everybody! OBAMA-IS-HITLER!!

Bring it, Bambi. You’ll lose the fight, you’ll lose your base (especially young techno-savvy types), and you’ll lose big time in 2012.
Glen Beck kinda made this connection yesterday. Turns out the wikileaks guy is getting some funding from Open Society , a George Soros organization. As usual it's the 0bama regime's kabuki dance.
i think huck came out today and said a few words-
>> OBAMA-IS-HITLER!!
Nah.
— Hitler wrote his OWN book.
What’s more,
— Hitler was SUCCESSFUL at bringing the Olympics to Germany.
Hitler was a bastard, but he was at least a marginally COMPETENT bastard. Bambi? No comparison! :-)
My hunch is that lives of decent people will be hurt when he does his magic on BoA.
They can’t blame Manning for that.
In such a case,I would be willing to find the guy safe haven for such a patriotic act. We KNOW Obama has a horrendous background, that so much of the US domestic press has failed to uncover, and/or knows about, but covers up. If a scandal like this about Obama originated from OVERSEAS, it would overwhelm and swamp the domestic US press which is bought off and in his pocket. That is what I hope eventually happens.
Nice try, but no cigar.
I so hope you are wrong but boy oh boy it sure is looking that way.
I say the most compelling argument is.... why so egregiously impugn Hitler?
