Just look at the WikiLeaks info that has been released, starting with Sarah Palin’s emails and think who other than B0 had a motive to release this info?

... the publication of 250,000 American diplomatic cables by WikiLeaks... demonstrates that it is no longer possible to rely on the confidentiality of any sources, government or otherwise.
...It is interesting that the newspapers that have been most closely involved in the transmission of the WikiLeaks files have been high-minded newspapers of the Left, such as The Guardian and the New York Times.
...The damage to the diplomatic process has been disproportionate to the public benefit.
...For the past 20 years there has been very little regulation of the cyber world....Governments will fight back with new regulations.

IMHO, this whole incident could be used as the reason du jour to crack down on the evvvviillll internet. Censorship. How convenient.
I agree, Obama has a motive.....
.....to regulate the Internet to "do something" to stop leaks like this.
WHY didn't the USA jam the website (DOS attack)?
HOW did these leaks get out in the first place?
These leaks will hurt diplomacy because many of the things said and leaked were said in confidence. Now that confidence doesn't exist.
Obama wants to hurt America's place in the world, he has more or less said so.
Obama wants to control people, health care, transportation, energy production, energy use, etc., indicating he is a control freak.
If this was his doing, he HAS further harmed the USA's position in the world and now has the perfect excuse to clamp down on the Internet.
I agree with AJ.
It's not Obama.
Hillary is Secretary of State.
The 'cables' are from the State Department.
PFC Manning is 'gay'.
Hillary is very intimately connected with a network of 'gays' who were 'given' high government posts during the Clinton Admin, and still are in those positions.
There is a growing suspicion that Hillary uses this network of 'gay' spies to get info on her opponents.
Hillary is well known for using 'secret' documents for her own nefarious purposes (FBI files).
So far, I haven't seen any documents surface which incriminate Hillary in any way.
You know, it is so easy to encrypt, that this leak really does seem to be a set up.

There is no doubt that BO is behind WikiLeakds. Just look at the WikiLeaks info that has been released, starting with Sarah Palin’s emails and think who other than BO had a motive to release this info?
September 2008: Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s Yahoo email account is compromised by a member of Anonymous, an online group of hackers, in the final months of the presidential campaign. Personal emails are posted to WikiLeaks, and questions are raised about whether Palin used the personal account to flout public records laws.
April 2010: A video of a U.S. Apache helicopter killing Iraqi civilians and two Reuters journalists is posted to WikiLeaks. While the U.S. had never denied that the civilians and journalists were killed, the graphic footage of the horrors of war quickly goes viral online.
July 2010: WikiLeaks publishes 92,000 pages of U.S. military memos termed the Afghan War Diaries. Among the dump’s contents are reports confirming that members of Pakistan’s intelligence agency routinely met with Taliban fighters between 2004 and 2009, as well as field notes on mounting civilian casualties throughout Afghanistan.
October 2010: Some 400,000 pages on the Iraq War that the Pentagon called “the largest leak of classified documents in its history” are posted by WikiLeaks. The group’s de facto spokesman, Julian Assange, says the documents show 15,000 civilian deaths previously unreported, as well as numerous instances of abuse of civilians at the hands of Iraqi security forces.
Nov. 28, 2010: Through several mainstream media partners, WikiLeaks releases confidential U.S. diplomatic cables, frank assessment of various American allies, with some incriminating information about U.S. foreign activities. WikiLeaks says the information, to be followed by further releases later in the week, will contain “seven times” as many documents as October release.

It is a very serious question. The premise is true - Assange did ask the US government to redact the cables. It deserves an answer.
I would be surprised if they hadn't already gotten it.
“What do you think about a serial killer asking the police for a less painful way of killing?”
The premise is absurd. Why would the US make itself a party to a crime being committed against itself? What, were we supposed to form a commission to study the documents and vote on which were damaging?
I apologize, I know that sounds like a gab, but only the far left and maybe loons on the Libertarian side use that verbiage and think that way IMO. At least the way I was reading it. Sorry!
He is a leaker, not referring to his depends I bet.
He deserves the traditional jail time in Federal prison, death maybe as a sentence if called for or the more discretionary accident.
This person does nothing for us and is working as a spy against us. If you want to hug him that is YOUR business, but if I see him I would help get him to the Feds for his lawlessness.
Much of Assange's information is unclassified. The government cannot tell him he cannot publish any of it because some of it might be classified.
The earlier comment on unbreakable encryption says a lot. No accidents here, I'd say.
I agree it is a provocative operation with the objective of internet censorship.
The the only way to stop it is to completely destroy the democrat party and render it impotent, sterile, castrated, inert, and consigned to oblivion which is the fate they want for the United States of America.
What I smell here is a new crisis! Obama will demand control! Communists want to control your medicine, your travel, what you eat, who you marry, and all your information.
It’s a national security issue! It’s for your safety. We must have gate keepers, to protect us from the dangers of men like Assange. Save us Obama!

Not having any knowledge about anything further than my own laptop, am I to assume that all government information, classified or otherwise, can be accessed by any federal computer?
(Hope it doesn't seem as if I am throwing the questions at you, just typing as they come into my brain)
If someone on the right had leaked this information the MSM would have labeled that person a terrorist, and Homeland Security would have already moved in... It's a leftist, so there's lots of posturing.
Here’s an interesting question: How would we FReepers be rating Manning/Assange if they have the goods of disclosing Barry Soetoro’s real identity,...traitors/heroes???
That’s a reach and a half.
Wow! Sounds like an investigative journalist to me. Suppose the NY Times or WaPo did this? Oh wait. They did.
Assange > Wikileaks
Wikileaks > Soros’ lawyer (one of them)
Soros’ lawyer (one of them) > Soros
Soros > (former?) Nazi collaborator
Soros > Obama
Obama > Soros
Ergo, (former?) Nazi collaborator is the effective POTUS.
