The two biggest stories this week are WikiLeaks' continued publication of classified government documents, which did untold damage to America's national security interests, and the Democrats' fanatical determination to repeal "don't ask, don't tell" and allow gays to serve openly in the military.
The mole who allegedly gave WikiLeaks the mountains of secret documents is Pfc. Bradley Manning, Army intelligence analyst and angry gay.
We've heard 1 billion times about the Army translator who just wanted to serve his country, but was cashiered because of whom he loved.
I'll see your Army translator and raise you one Bradley Manning.
According to Bradley's online chats, he was in "an awkward place" both "emotionally and psychologically." So in a snit, he betrayed his country by orchestrating the greatest leak of classified intelligence in U.S. history.
Isn't that in the Army Code of Conduct? You must follow orders at all times. Exceptions will be made for servicemen in an awkward place. Now, who wants a hug? Waitress! Three more apple-tinis!"
According to The New York Times, Bradley sought "moral support" from his "self-described drag queen" boyfriend. Alas, he still felt out of sorts. So why not sell out his country?
In an online chat with a computer hacker, Bradley said he lifted the hundreds of thousands of classified documents by pretending to be listening to a CD labeled "Lady Gaga." Then he acted as if he were singing along with her hit song "Telephone" while frantically downloading classified documents.
I'm not a military man, but I think singing along to Lady Gaga would constitute "telling" under "don't ask, don't tell."
Do you have to actually wear a dress to be captured by the Army's "don't ask, don't tell" dragnet?
What constitutes being "openly" gay now? Bringing a spice rack to basic training? Attending morning drills decked out as a Cher impersonator? Following Anderson Cooper on Twitter?
Also, U.S. military, have you seen a picture of Bradley Manning? The photo I've seen is only from the waist up, but you get the feeling that he's wearing butt-less chaps underneath. He looks like a guy in a soldier costume at the Greenwich Village Halloween parade.
With any luck, Bradley's court-martial will be gayer than a Liza Minelli wedding. It could be the first court-martial in U.S. history to feature ice sculptures and a "Wizard of Oz"-themed gazebo. "Are you going to Bradley's court-martial? I hear Patti LaBelle is going to sing!"
Maybe there's a reason gays have traditionally been kept out of the intelligence services, apart from the fact that closeted gay men are easy to blackmail. Gays have always been suspicious of that rationale and perhaps they're right.
The most damaging spies in British history were the Cambridge Five, also called "the "Magnificent Five": Kim Philby, Guy Burgess, Anthony Blunt, Donald Maclean and John Cairncross. They were highly placed members of British intelligence, all secretly working for the KGB.
The only one who wasn't gay was Philby. Burgess and Blunt were flamboyantly gay. Indeed, the Russians set Burgess up with a boyfriend as soon as he defected to the Soviet Union.
The Magnificent Five's American compatriot Michael Straight was -- ironically -- bisexual, as was Whittaker Chambers, at least during the period that he was a spy. And of course, there's David Brock.
So many Soviet spies were gay that, according to intelligence reporter Phillip Knightley, the Comintern was referred to as "the Homintern." (I would have called it the "Gay G.B.")
Bradley's friends told the Times they suspected "his desperation for acceptance -- or delusions of grandeur" may have prompted his document dump.
Let's check our "Gay Profile at a Glance" and ... let's see ... desperate for acceptance ... delusions of grandeur ... yep, they're both on the gay subset list!
Obviously, the vast majority of gays are loyal Americans -- and witty and stylish to boot! But a small percentage of gays are going to be narcissistic hothouse flowers like Bradley Manning.

Yes. Getting a security clearance WAS once a serious matter. You WOULD actually be investigated by someone who knew what they were doing, and if you had issues, there was a reasonable chance they would be revealed.
Since the Clintons took over the White House in 1993, the security process went into the dumpster and never came out. It was as if the floodgates had opened. (See Gary Aldrichs take on this in Unlimited Access)
There was a time being an open homosexual was not only a disqualifier for any kind of security clearance, you would have been ejected from the military without much preamble.
In those days of yore, the FBI would actually go out in the field and interview everyone you put on references, and their friends as well. What Clinton changed was the field work - since then, the FBI only calls the people you put down to verify you have some connection to who you claim to be — in short, they operate exactly like the “drive by media.”
FBI: Hello. Are you Bob Jones?
“Bob Jones”: Yep.
FBI: Do you know Bradley Manning who is in the US Army (branch).
“Bob Jones”: Yep.
FBI: Thanks for you cooperation. Good by.

I believe that was the work of Shinseki, an affirmative action hire of Clinton. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Sickening, isn’t it? My dad was a 30 year naval officer, and was the communications and security officer at the Yokosuka Naval base in Japan when the USS Pueblo was captured by the North Koreans. I know that having a job like that required a significant security clearance, that goes without saying.
I asked my dad about that one time, and he told me when he was a young naval officer they actually sent somebody to his hometown to interview people that he knew when he was being evaluated for high-level security clearance.

Back in the 50’s and 60’s when my career Army Airborne dad was serving, the only people who wore berets were Special Forces, a very elite and small group of our military. They weren’t even called “green berets” then which I think is a stupid name. Special Forces is better.

Arlo Guthrie alludes to this in his 1967 anti-draft song, Alices Restaurant. He says something to the effect that if two guys together, at their draft physical, sing You can get anything you want at Alices restaurant, that theyll think you are both faggots and wont take either of you.While a pretty accurate rendition, you forgot one phrase, which says "in harmony," and goes between 'restaurant' and 'they'll'...

when the USS Pueblo was captured by the North Koreans
I remember that - was quite a hubbub at NSA then. I was just a trainee at the time, but I remember all the scurrying, whispering in the halls, certain notes on cork boards in our classrooms.
When I got into the field some months later, I learned that our reporting had begun to deteriorate as the war had progressed. Emphasis had changed from best/most accurate info to making sure all the correct forms were filled out. The intel was becoming an afterthought.
It seemed to me that the policy of rotating high ranking non-coms and junior officers from Nam into units doing non-Nam collection was the culprit. It was all about them looking good to advance their careers.

My mom had mentioned to me once that CDR Bucher was one of my dad’s drinking buddies when he was in port...what a terrible thing that whole episode was. We should have gone to war over that...it was armed piracy, pure and simple. I still think we should take at least five MK84 JDAM’s and drop them on the poor Pueblo out of the blue, just to put her to rest.
Interesting observation on the progression of intel...and Powerpoint wasn’t even invented yet...

Sorry for the late ping. My computer was acting up last night and I was tired, so I just went to bed. Running a scan this morning, but so far nothing.
For liberals, gays in the military is a win-win proposition. Either gays in the military works, or it wrecks the military, both of which outcomes they enthusiastically support.
Let me know if you'd like to be added to the Ann Coulter ping list.

Too bad shes a fag hag. A completely unsubstantiated comment that comes from total ignorance.
Maybe you mean Joseph Farah who condemned Coulter for agreeing to speak to a homo org (where she made it clear to the homos that she does not support their agenda and did her best to talk them out of gay marriage), fired her from speaking at his event (which she was not even hired to do) then he cuddled up to the homos and had them attend his event (therefore giving them legitimacy) so there you go.
You support of the homosexual agenda by proxy is duly noted.
