Wikileaks is leaking again, and the left is ecstatic. In particular, they're simply wild about Wikileaks' revelation that American soldiers turned a blind eye to Iraqi soldiers mistreating captured enemies, marking many reports with "no further investigation" necessary. The UK Guardian gloated, "The systematic viciousness of the old dictatorship when Saddam Hussein's security agencies enforced order without any regard for law continues."

These abuses are tragic and problematic. They make our job harder in Iraq and Afghanistan -- or, more specifically, media revelations of these abuses make our job harder in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The easiest way to figure out WikiLeaks is to identify their audience, the American hating crowd of Europe. Any spin regarding the leaks will be from a European point of view.

In America, WikiLeaks is so yesterday.

I have to wonder WHERE they are getting these documents. That’s alot of data to be smuggled out of somewhere.

The source was most likely Bradley Manning. I believe he downloaded the files from a SPIRNET terminal while deployed in Afghanistan.

He was a Homosexual soldier who had a hissy fit after his lover dumped him. While waiting to be separated from the Army he got the bright idea to download daily logs from secret level computers and send them to his gay buddies in America and Europe. I doubt he sent them to WikiLeaks himself.

Presently Manning is in pretrial lockup awaiting Court-martial
