During the Bush years, when the fight against Islamic terror was still relatively new, big newspapers and other media outlets raced to publish or broadcast major state secrets of the war. The New York Times splashed all over its front pages the secret of the warrantless wiretapping of suspected terrorists. They and other papers published on Page A1 the secret of the black sites abroad, including the names of the countries that were helping us covertly detain terrorists. They published the details of the enhanced interrogation techniques we were using to extract life-saving information from top al Qaeda terrorists like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
...When these stories broke, most Americans were outraged at the lack of journalistic responsibility. How dare these left-wing outfits publish secrets that would likely empower our enemies with high-value information and endanger American lives? Normal Americans were aghast.
But the nutcases on the Left are not normal.
...Today, the Times, the UK Guardian, and Germany’s Der Spiegel have simultaneously published portions of 91,000 secret documents about the Afghanistan war leaked to them by WikiLeaks. They pretend to have been all anguished about the decision to publish, which is nonsense of course. These papers are the Hard Left. Yes, they wanted to hit Bush when they previously published secrets. But above all, they are anti-war. They don’t really care who is prosecuting it; to them, war is war and the U.S. is wrong to be anywhere.

...Let your conspiratorial mind wander: what if the leak is meant to HELP Obama? What if it’s meant to help him GET OUT of Afghanistan? The story the docs tell gives Obama the perfect pretext to withdraw on his original timeline.
Whenever you see a story like this, always go deeper and ask yourself: who benefits?
The answer is: Obama.
Why hasn’t DOJ and the FBI already descended on Wiki with search warrants and subpoenas?
It is all such smoke and mirrors; sleight-of-hand and excruciatingly; painstakenly dishonest.
Why indeed.
I think she’s right. This is all meant to set the stage for us to abandon Afghanistan and declare the inevitable slaughter of our allies that will follow to be “peace.”
Sickening, isn’t it, how the “reporting” on this outrage focuses on what the documents allegedly “reveal” rather than on who should be prosecuted and punished and why for this crime of high treason.
Yes. We must keep the pressure on to investigate and prosecute this treason, even it we have to wait until after the next congress is sworn in.
That said; whatever happened to the word 'TREASON'. . .is it now only a euphemism. . .does it still have meaning and import? If so, we are long past calling up this word and it's consequences.
I am beginning to wonder if these “leaked documents” are genuine... or a fabrication. All I can find right now are puzzle pieces. Maybe they will fall together to form a telling picture.
Ninety-thousand documents is a big picture to try and fashion coherently; but there is enough damning info/footage that the Military is furious and stating outright that this will have a negative impact - no matter how you cut through this. Like everything this Admin does; tend to believe there is a unidentified covert hand behind the MO here. . .but one we would recognize; should it be shown.
Do not know how 'wiki' could be quite so bold - otherwise.
