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.
“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.”

“How were these documents leaked?”
IMNSHO they were hacked.
In America, a good work ethic was a Christian concept. As the nation turns its back on Christianity, all things will decline.
I will let Chode tell you. After all he is the expert on the subject.

I asked that question with the very first WIKILEAK event. Bottom line is that since going Galt I don’t really care any more.
It is a CF and the whole house of cards is going down anyway. My goal, honestly, is not to figure out HOW it happened (I think it is a bit of a butterfly effect thing) but to do my best to survive it all and help the rest of my family do the same.
Did the average person in Warsaw, in late August 1939 really need to know how what was about to happen happened, or were they better served by escaping before it happened?
I’m of the latter camp, in thought and deed.
What do Pvt. Manning, Lady Gaga and DADT have in common?

From the article...
The young soldier wrote of how he downloaded the classified information.
“I would come in with music on a CD-RW labeled with something like ‘Lady Gaga’,” he told Lamo.
While pretending to sing along to Lady Gaga’s hit “Telephone,” Manning would actually be erasing the music from the CD and recording intelligence onto it instead.
Is there really any doubt that BO arranged all of the WikiLeaks?
Let’s just say yes, it is quite plausible that a PFC was able to get all of that off of a computer and out of a building. It was also quite probable that basic computer forensics would find out that he did it.
The same questions I have....the real story here is not Julian Assange...but, who gave Assange all those files?
And, I doubt it was some low-ranked US Army computer clerk.
I think the Liberal Free Trader Globalist crowd is upset with Assange because it kinda exposed them and their Liberal Globalist buddies around the world. I find it odd that people who describe themselves as “conservative” are upset that Assange released documents that mostly embarrassed the Democrats and the Democrat side of the Liberal Globalists.
Of course, if it was not for “leaks”...we would have never known the extent of all the fraud committed by the UN Climate Change nutjobs in England. That so exposed Global Warming as a fraud, even the Liberal Free Trader Globalists who support Cap And Trade could not even spin that one.
Since few are asking “who gave Assange those files” (which is the real treason here)....you wonder if the Liberal Free Trader Globalists in both parties are setting up something more sinister...and Assange is just their mouthpiece. I fear that this file dump is just a way for the Liberal Free Trader Globalists to try and shut down the Internet....of course that would mean Free Republic would be doomed.
My question is why the Icelandic server wasn't taken out the first time this happened? Weeks ago. Trace: http://www.info.com/track%20ip%20address%20location?cb=27&cmp=4264 http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip-lookup
The same way CTU keeps hiring a mole or two every season, it’s in the script.
