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.

I think so too.

[FrankR]

Of course he endorses it...he can finally ban the internet using "national security" as the excuse.

These are the documents the gay soldier released?

[Velveeta]

It’s certainly a possibility.

[pnh102]

Perhaps the regime should stop leaking so much sensitive information.

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?

Political correctness has rendered the FBI impotent, can't touch homos, minorities, Muslims, and commies.

Strange how George W. Not only kept us safe, but also didn’t capitulate to our enemy’s.....Yet under Barry’s watch...All these Documents are being “Found”(more like given) to Wikkileaks. and we have the Fruit of Kaboom bomber, the Times Square Bomber, and Maj. Hassan-the Ft. Hood shooter!

The Enemy knows Obama is a Weakling Man-Child and they are treating the US as Such....I can’t wait until we have the ADULTS back in Charge of the USA! Including DEN MOTHER Sarah Palin as President!!!

Officials speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal matters said the administration believes that the diplomatic fallout could be substantial. Many of the cables are believed to date from the start of the Obama administration, meaning that the White House won't be able to distance itself from any disclosures.

Crowley said the State Department "has known all along" that WikiLeaks possesses classified State Department documents. He said it was not possible, however, to predict with precision the impact of their release because the State Department does not know which files will be released.

Hillary's State Department. Should be interesting.

[Velveeta]

That was my impression as well.
Hopefully, whatever “it” is warrants impeachment.

According to the article, Barry is not quite sure what’s about to be leaked.

There are lots of posters on here that strangely like what Assange is doing, check the prior threads.

[Grizzled Bear]

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

The initial leak was an angry homosexual soldier. I'm still waiting to hear about his court martial and execution.

[Cementjungle]

According to the article, Barry is not quite sure what’s about to be leaked.

But he knows it's stuff from his time in office and assumes that it has to be bad.

Report: U.S. Army homosexual tied to WikiLeaks scandal

The American soldier at the center of the scandal involving the theft and release of classified military information that could cost the lives of U.S. military personnel was “openly homosexual” and apparently held a grudge against the U.S. military’s anti-gay policy, the British Telegraph newspaper is reporting.

That remains to be seen. The article says these are State Department docs. Clinton revenge?

[freekitty]

Obama wants you and me to think he is for America when he knows that we know he isn’t. That’s why he hasn’t lifted a finger to get this guy.

[Hotlanta Mike]

Does this mean they are going to out our own “Sexy Spy”?

We can’t arrest Julian Assange because he’s not American and didn’t get this material on American soil. Too bad, as he’s putting many innocent lives in danger.

[BBell]

You read the article? How quaint. So did I. We are a rarity here.

The time for the adults to take back the US, can’t come soon enough!
