Chicago Tribune ^ | 11/24/2010 | Robert Burns

Posted on 11/24/2010 7:42:20 PM PST by Velveeta

The Obama administration said Wednesday it has alerted Congress and begun notifying foreign governments that the WikiLeaks website is preparing to release sensitive U.S. diplomatic files that could damage U.S. relations with friends and allies.

Officials said the documents may contain everything from accounts of compromising conversations with political dissidents and friendly politicians to disclosures of activities that could result in the expulsion of U.S. diplomats from foreign postings.

Why has this Julian Assange person not been arrested or assassinated?

If the pro-Obama Chicago Trib is bitching about Wikileaks, and so’s the O regime, then there’s something in those docs that incriminates the idiot Kenyan.

Sounds like a Russian hack into American computers is the source of this stuff.

Obama’s threats are an order of magnitude less worrying than the French “f*rt in your general direction”.

He’s a limp wristed chicken lipped piece of excrement.

It’s not necessarily a crime to publish a leaked secret. (He actually has been arrested on rape charges.)

I’d like to know, however, when we’re going to start executing the treasonists who have been LEAKING the information. WHAT? We know who they are, and we haven’t even reprimanded them?

Total malfunction of our government. It’s so transparent, unlike his promises. Any jokes don’t matter, because his jokes are real. Aren’t you all totally fed up with big government?

I read the article at the link. This could be very bad for Obama.

If it were his original birth certificate (or college transcripts) about to be Wiki-leaked, Obama’d have the CIA take this guy out.

Who knows what that kook with the big ears means, but it looks like he was warned about it.

Possibly, but it sounds as though it won’t present the Soetoro administration in the best possible light.

‘It’s not necessarily a crime to publish a leaked secret.’

You don’t have to commit a crime to be killed in a war, especially if you are involved in leaking classified documents. Have you never seen a James Bond movie? Most of those he killed couldn’t have been indicted for anything.

Perhaps he has Barry’s birth certificate as collateral?

“With the Obama Administrations help?”

I’ll tell you this,

If this all came from private in Kuwait,

It is scary beyond belief.

As it is, it all seems so far to be second tier stuff, not the most secure stuff.

But if the “Asia” stuff is from American diplomats in Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and related stans,

It’s the Russians.

I would like to thank them however, if they are really responsible, for the CRU-Climategate hack.
