Wikileaks = terrorist organization?

[guido911]

So what? You should be more concerned how Obama already proclaimed America's number one political prisoner guilty....

I could care less what Obama said about this idiot. And as for "so what", his defense team thought it an important enough issue to raise it.

That's because Manning has been tortured and this has been some of the background evidence for proof.

Still not caring.

It took a lot of the wind out of the prosecutor's sails when military analysts reported Wikileaks as a whole hasn't put any troops in harms way.  ...at least those troops that aren't a part of any war crimes or corruption probes.

The same can not be said about the civillians:
WikiLeaks: U.S. Troops Executed Iraqi Children In 2006 Raid, According To U.N. Sources (VIDEO)
Alston's memo noted that the bodies of the dead civilians, who had all been shot in the head, were handcuffed.

Anyone can be nominated.

I wish someone would nominate me!  That would be fun.

WikiLeaks is under attack again, and many Internet users speculate it may be related to information the site has recently published about a wide-spanning American surveillance system called TrapWire.

"TrapWire has access to virtually all CCTV's that have IP/internet connectivity," the press release said.

Gosh I wish I had a life that was interesting enough to make that worth while to be worried about.

[guido911]

Maybe he could call Beck and Boehner for tips?

Or Obama?

Anyone else think it's strange that Wikileaks hasn't had documents critical of anyone associated with Trump?  Election won, poof!  No more leaks making US leaders look bad.

Strange how documents damaging to Democrats kept popping up for years up to and during the election, then the flood just stopped... almost like whoever was supplying the information got what they wanted and stopped supplying information.  Whomever that may be.

Devil's advocate:

Or just that the Dems were really crooked or just not that good at covering it up.

[cannon_fodder]

Perhaps.  But most of what was leaked wasn't anything to do with Democrats in particular - US military leadership, spy programs, rules of engagement, etc.  It was damaging  to the people in charge at the time and would have been regardless of which party it was.  The rest that was leaked wasn't criminal or corrupt either, embarrassing and inconvenient for sure (DNC preferred the Democrat to the Independent), but nothing rising to a significant level of corruption.

All of those things are surely still in play.  The US military/spy agencies continue to do things We the People don't know about.  Politicians, parties, and businessmen associated with them continue to do things that would be embarrassing or inconvenient of it were made public.  Suddenly Wikileaks is no longer in the business of releasing that information, or is no longer getting that information.

Nah, Democrats have always been better than Republicans at covering stuff up.

[erfalf]

Nah, Democrats have always been better than Republicans at covering stuff up.

They are also MUCH better at coming up with catchy slogans to help cover things up.
