Hundreds of Afghan lives have been put at risk by the leaking of 90,000 intelligence documents to WikiLeaks because the files identify informants working with NATO forces.
In just two hours of searching the WikiLeaks archive, The Times of London found the names of dozens of Afghans credited with providing detailed intelligence to U.S. forces. Their villages are given for identification and also, in many cases, their fathers' names.

Both the leakers & the publishers need to be dropped off in custody of whomever remains alive in the families of those Afghan who had helped us.
How do you say “payback” in Pashto and Dari?
As well, any lingering trust in our keeping them safe and/or not turning tail and running, leaving them to the brutal pay back of the Taliban - is gone.
What a weapon has been handed to the enemy - and is it NO act of one little punk.
Reminds me of a certain soldier who ‘served in Viet Nam, you know’ and while in uniform, met with the enemy in another country 3 x’s...a crime punishable by life in prison at most, forbidden to hold ANY elected office ever - even dog catcher. And yet with his friends in DC, got records hidden, no punishment and pushed into high office.
Is he still talking to the enemy?
Someone want to explain how a lowly PFC get his hands on such material??? (without help)
That actually makes some sense.
>>> Let’s play a game. It’s called “Find a homosexual who doesn’t support Barack Obama”
“Now, for just a moment, appreciate the Bizarroworld we currently live in: (1) We are gay guys in Boystown who, until 2008, detested Ann Coulter (2) We are now reading Ann Coulter (3) We agree with every damn word Ann Coulter says (4) Sometimes, we think we’ve actually moved to the right of Ann Coulter It’s Change we might not be able to believe in, but change the current DNC and White House forced upon on.”

Hillbuzz is one of the better-written and more effective anti-Obama wesbites. These guys even tried to post here. But the braintrust could only come up with lameass gay insults in response, rather then addressing the value of the content of their posts.
So what do I win ?
He could easily have downloaded 90,000 docs and vidfiles onto a few DVDs during a single shift.
I’ll bet the homo leaker soldier is overseas traveling. That is how he is hiding out. He needs some polonium 212 in his tea
Please note the lying piece of excrement some people call a president claims the release of this information is of no consequence. Much of the public beleives this traitorous tyrant to America.
“Whoever leaked these files needs to go to the gallows. It probably was somebody in the US Military and they still have the death sentence. Leaking the names of the Afghans working with us is nothing short of murder.”
Whoever leaked those files will more than likely have an accident pretty soon. There is no way the administration can let this “American Terrorist” live.
IT Security in this country is so lax, I wouldn’t be surprized if this is possible at nearly every governmental installation and private companies as well. Having contacts in IT Security, convincing the powers that be that security from internal threats is of at least equal, and in most cases of higher importance, than security from external threats is nearly impossible. Just last night I told a friend that I expect an “IT 911” to happen before anything substantial is done about it.
The so-called commander in chief is responsible and claims it is of no consequence, at least to him personally. If you think his admin gives a rip you need to study this hatefilled anti-American. His layers of protection will shield him from being the fall guy.
Manning is actually in federal custody pending an Article 32.

Thanks for that! It must the wikileaks rat who is on the lam. He lives in Sweden. IMO opinion the US could ask Interpol to arrest him and then we could try to extradite him. I would love to see him in prison
There are European troops fighting in Afghanistan. France for example could get Mr WikiLeaks on French soil and try him for placing French men in danger
My guess is that he is living at his rented apartment in Iceland until he determines whether or not Australia's new hard left ministry will take any action against him, due to the fact that there are Australians deployed in the theater he has compromised.
Obama needs to be impeached, tried for treason and brought to justice.
as a pfc,how did Manning get the documents in the first place?
True. I'm still open to the possibility that it runs far deeper than one scapegoat.

Thanks and lots of info at wikipedia. I have no problem with most of the wiki leaks but when he/wikileaks puts Afghan informers in danger, puts other Afghans in danger who are cooperative with the US....This is very nasty brutal heartless stuff. Since Juliana Asange and Bradly Manning are doling out death they should get death, as in the death penalty. Traitors are hanged

Kaupthing Bank
Wikileaks has made available an internal document[127] from Kaupthing Bank from just prior to the collapse of Iceland’s banking sector, which led to the 2008–2009 Icelandic financial crisis. The document shows that suspiciously large sums of money were loaned to various owners of the bank, and large debts written off. Kaupthing’s lawyers have threatened Wikileaks with legal action, citing banking privacy laws. The leak has caused an uproar in Iceland.[128] Criminal charges relating to the multibillion euro loans to Exista and other major shareholders are being investigated. The bank is seeking to recover loans taken out by former bank employees before its collapse.[129]
