Facilitating espionage by putting it onto the Internet is and should be illegal.
That gay soldier who took the information (supposedly - but don't ask and don't tell) and the wikileaks people should all be in our Federal Prison awaiting either jail time or execution.

This is not an Internet issue, it is an espionage issue.

What is your view of the fact that Wikileaks claims to be very careful about tripple checking info and redacting information that is genuinely harmful to national security, and that they have apparently asked the US government itself to redact the cables, which they apparently refused?

You are correct. It is so much better having it on the front page of the NYT, or on '60 Minutes'.

Besides, these 'secrets' were only a secret to the American Public.

Our ruling elite knew (they were the ones who said and did these things) and every foreign SPY knew these things, and the people in most other countries KNEW or BELIEVED these things.

Other than stirring up a little saber-rattling by the world's organized crime figures, the 'cables' have been revealing what a bunch of lying scum our LEADERS are. Maybe the rest of the world has a good reason to see us as THE GREAT SATAN, when the only contact they have with us is our LYING SCUM, TWO-FACED, GREEDY politicians.

The TRUTH is there, but it seems we DON'T want the truth.

It would be different if the info on these cables came out, and we doubted the 'source', but we don't. We know they are the truth (at least what truth the ruling elite say behind closed doors).

And yet, it seems American can't wait to have Julian's head removed and put on a platter.

How odd.

I didn't realize until just now that the leaked cables date back to 1966. Where are State Department Records archived? Do they stay in the State Department? NARA? Who would be able to locate all of the file?

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)
