WikiLeaks says it won't be threatened by Pentagon (will publish remaining 15K docs within a month)
AP on Yahoo ^ | 8/14/10 | Keith Moore - ap

STOCKHOLM – WikiLeaks will publish its remaining 15,000 Afghan war documents within a month, despite warnings from the U.S. government, the organization's founder said Saturday.

The Pentagon has said that secret information will be even more damaging to security and risk more lives than WikiLeaks' initial release of some 76,000 war documents.

"This organization will not be threatened by the Pentagon or any other group," Julian Assange told reporters in Stockholm. "We proceed cautiously and safely with this material."

He probably gave WikiLeaks his blessing.

WikiLeaks said to Judge Andrew Napolitano that the White House was given the documents before the last doc dump. The WH was given 2 weeks to respond and WikiLeaks heard nothing.

The WH has no intention of stopping the publication of these documents. They are probably in collusion. It fits in with their plans. . . destroy the US military might. He told us the United States would no longer be the “most powerful nation.” Why is anybody surprised by this latest threat? People need to pay closer attention to what he says. It all has meaning, he’s told us over and over again. He aims to transform the U S into an insignificant nation. He said so.

Makes me wonder if this is enough to impose some new filters over the net.

Senators propose granting president emergency Internet power

Just once I would like one these AP reporters to ask the Wiki leaks guy how he distinguishes between espionage and freedom of the press.

It is clear that his intention is to harm the US/NATO war effort in A-stan. He is doing this for a political motive and not merely to just inform the public.

I see no difference between him and the 1950’s Rosenbergs.

The US P{resident should announce to the world, and especially Sweden:

1. If you do not turn over this man to us, and all his accomplices and data TODAY, you will never sell another product to, or buy another product from the USA.

2. This man is wanted for espionage against the USA.

3. Anyone who adis, abets or refuses to turn him over will be met with the full force of the US Armed Forces, to include nations, their leaders, judges, prosecutors etc.

4. Then, hit the ISP that is hosting the web site with a Hellfire Missle...and CLAIM IT. Tell the world more is coming.

Help me here please.
Isn’t publishing classified documents publicly a crime? Why isn’t someone going to jail for publishing this? Just wondering.

This is why Obama’s 2nd 2 years of his first, and only, 4-year term as POTUS will closely resemble ex-Presidente Mel Zelaya in Honduras.

Do not blame the enemy..

Blame our Pretty Boy, Well Spoken, American Generals and Admirals.

American Generals and Admirals for whom

“Victory is not an Option”

The sacks of crap who are publishing documents at WikiLeaks are an enemy of the US and West. Yet, they sleep warm in their beds while good men of the West sleep in the dirt and die.

Keep in mind they are just sacks of crap nothing more.
They are not the problem..They can be dealt with.. if our Flag Officers have the will.. only clearly they don't..

The guy behind WikiLeaks should have vanished 24 hours after that stuff went online.. along with all his friends.
A single Officer trial should have been held followed by a trip to Guantanamo for those who cooperate. Those who don't or even smirk...hung by the neck until dead within an hour..

All Videotaped and Posted to You tube with a 5 million dollar reward for the names of any of his associates at large.

Wikileaks threatens to continue to electronically bomb the American and Allied Troops in the field as well as the American and Western peoples.

They hold encrypted files as their “Nuclear Option”.. So what? Let them do their worst.. Instead of Lawfully pursuing them kill?Capture them as well as anyone who helps them.. our Generals dither.

Our gaggle of Incompetent Generals and Admirals quiver fearful in the corner hanging on every word of their Legal Priests.

Priests loyal to the Judiciary NOT the Constitution and Bill of Rights.. Not to the American People but to their own self inflated sense of self worth. Allowed to wear the Uniform of a Commissioned Officer in the US Military after swearing an Oath of Fealty to the Judiciary in direct Contravention to the Oath of Commission.

Let's just put the US Military JAGs in charge of War Fighting and forget it.

“Fighting Jag”..:Chairborne”

JAG has always been loyal not to the US but to the Politicians and Judiciary.

Their oath to the Judiciary renders any Oath of Commission a bad joke.

Now that our Flag Officers will not act without first getting approval from their JAG Priests.

We do not need Flag Officers..

Just pick any Shyster to tell us what we can and cannot do to defend the Nation. It is only a matter of choosing which lose/lose decision will do less harm..

Any Corporal worth his salt can handle that and get back to his regular duties as a turret mechanic. Although choosing a lose,lose situation would no doubt weigh heavily on his heart. Certainly more than any “Take off your sunglasses” “Leader” we currently have.

Retire 700 of the 900 Generals and Admirals. 20,000 US Army Cols thru Major..Do that alone and we could field another Infantry Division.

Today we have rank inflation.. out of control.. We used to laugh at the Soviets when they had Lts doing the work of Sgts.. Today other than the very few Combat Arms Officers, we have a Gaggle of Officers with inflated ranks doing the work of NCOs.

Ask yourself... Just how hard is it really to:

Find the enemy, Fix the enemy and Kill him and any who support him.

Instead we have a phony “War on Terrorism” where those who support and fund the Jihadis remain secure and sleep soundly, many in opulence. While of course the US Military Industrial Complex Posts record profits.

Darn Shame

These stupid out of touch stoners are not just endangering Americans, they are also endangering soldiers from other countries. They are fools if they think the allies are not going to go after them.

Contrary to popular belief, the human excrement known as Assange does not operate in a vacuum or by himself. Wikileaks makes money by "donations." In the past, many of these "donations" have come from countries and corporations looking to discredit their enemies or competitors.

Now that the U.S. is a target, things are different. However, Wikileaks has a vast network of hidden and virtual servers around the world. With the encryption they use, they are virtually impossible to take down.

It should be fairly obvious that the human excrement known as Assange has taken a big "donation" from Al Queda or one of it's allies, as he is basically an information mercenary. His actions have made him an accomplice to the Islamic terrorism that threatens Western Civilization.

"The sacks of crap who are publishing documents at WikiLeaks are an enemy of the US and West. Yet, they sleep warm in their beds while good men of the West sleep in the dirt and die."

Lord Ha-Ha and Tokyo Rose were amateurs compared to Assange and his band of traitors.

"The guy behind WikiLeaks should have vanished 24 hours after that stuff went online.. along with all his friends."

Be careful what you say, we have liberal trolls attempting to masquerade (very unsuccessfully, I might add) as conservatives who will compare you with Hitler for saying that!!!
