Wikileak question raised

[kronic]

How were these documents leaked?

I just had a thought( yea I know its rare ) I worked for a government contractor 15 years. Even back then you could not download or copy files with out alerting security. So are we to believe you can just wander in to a secure area and copy thousands of pages of classified documents? I am not normally a conspiracy nut but this one I have to play the B.S. card on. There is no way in my experience this was achievable the way its been reported. I smell a rat. We might want to really not put much on the face of these documents. Its highly possible they are false and or some one wants to stir the pot so to speak. Any opinions, especially if you have ever worked for the government or been in military.

If I remember correctly, its an Army PFC who had access to the documents and the rest is history.

I used to TEMPEST harden computers for military. Then Clinton came along and all that went away. The term COTS became the day. This is the result.

Compare to the Democrats’ outrage at Miguel Miranda looking at Ted Kennedy’s communications with the NAACP and other liberal groups to block Bush’s judicial nominees on a SHARED folder system back in 2005.

The pfc obviously had some help. From high up.

“Once PVT Manning embraced the gay lifestyle he became deeply disturbed. His acceptance of the gay lifestyle and the friends he made both in and outside the military led him to what he is today – a traitor to his country.” - Rich Swier, Editor of Red County

“At school, Bradley Manning was clearly different from most of his peers. He preferred hacking computer games rather than playing them, former neighbors said. And they said he seemed opinionated beyond his years about politics, religion, and even about keeping religion out of politics.

In his Bible Belt hometown that he once mockingly wrote in an e-mail had “more pews than people,” Private Manning refused to recite the parts of the Pledge of Allegiance that referred to God or do homework assignments that involved the Scriptures. And if a teacher challenged his views, former classmates said, he was quick to push back.”

- Ginger Thompson, NYT

Why does the US Army coddle these outcasts and wing-nuts ?

In America, a good work ethic was a Christian concept. As the nation turns its back on Christianity, all things will decline.

I used to work on Tempest machines in a SCIF. The pink noise generators in the airducts to prevent listening devices drove me nuts.

I will let Chode tell you. After all he is the expert on the subject.

I’m surprised Obama didn’t make him an IT Security Czar.

You are forgetting the inherent laziness of bureaucratic government employees. Looking the other way to avoid making waves and filling out paperwork is a finely tuned skill for them. I know the leaker was a GI, but he only needed to find the weak link in the office. He could have walked out with a disk in a music CD jewel case.

Remember the whole Clintonista power grab to the State Dept from the DOD? Everything went to State so they could sell without peril to the chicoms. Everything from missile data to supercomputers, and Loral Re-entry systems for ICBM's.

The Clintons shifted it all to the State Department and then whacked Ron Brown & all the witnesses from corporations.

[Riodacat]

Not to worry. There'll be at least 1 conspiracy theory for every agenda.
My theory is that they were leaked to unite the American people.
