WASHINGTON – Striking back, the Obama administration branded the WikiLeaks release of more than a quarter-million sensitive files an attack on the United States Monday and raised the prospect of criminal prosecutions in connection with the exposure. The Pentagon detailed new security safeguards, including restraints on small computer flash drives, to make it harder for any one person to copy and reveal so many secrets. The young Army Pfc. suspected of stealing the diplomatic memos, many of them classified, and feeding them to WikiLeaks may have defeated Pentagon security systems using little more than a Lady Gaga CD and a portable computer memory stick. The soldier, Bradley Manning has not been charged in the latest release of internal U.S. government documents. But officials said he is the prime suspect partly because of his own description of how he pulled off a staggering heist of classified and restricted material. "No one suspected a thing," Manning told a confidant afterward, according to a log of his computer chat published by Wired.com. "I didn't even have to hide anything."

LOL

The US State Department gave its diplomats instructions to spy on other countries' representatives at the United Nations, according to a directive signed by Hillary Clinton. Diplomats were told to collect information about e-mail accounts, credit cards and passwords, among other things. US diplomats are alleged to have been asked by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to spy on the diplomats of other countries at the United Nations. That was the purpose of the "National Humint Collection Directive," which has been seen by SPIEGEL. The document was signed by Clinton and came into force on July 31, 2009. The information to be collected included personal credit card information, frequent flyer customer numbers, as well as e-mail and telephone accounts. In many cases the State Department also requested "biometric information," "passwords" and "personal encryption keys." In the US, the term biometric information generally refers to fingerprints, passport photos and iris scans, among other things.

So, which of our allies are going to trust the Hillary Clinton state department now? lol... what is the reason to collect personal credit card info, frequent flyer records, hotel records, email account info, etc. from foreign diplomats? It couldn't possibly be to blackmail them if necessary could it? "Yes Mr. Diplomat, we actually have you in Milan that week with a woman named Destiny staying at the Ritz Carlton, and see the movie "Star Whores: The Phantom Man-Ass" was rented. Does your wife know? So... about those documents we needed...."

not saying it did.... I know it merely confirms what people already suspect in general. but for a duo (obama/hillary) who coined the phrase "smart power" to describe their foreign policy approach, such an exposure with her signature on the dotted line is terribly embarrassing.

I like how, in her press conferences these days, she only wears dark colours. You know, to minimize the exposure of immense sweat stains undoubtedly collecting beneath her attire. It's a fashion conspiracy!

Assange is either a CIA agent, or his sources all are.

He would be dead by now if he really leaked any sensitive information.

Assange is just a figurehead. Anyone can do anonymous hosting shit. The really crucial part of the chain is the US government personnel leaking the information in the first place.

Sweden has claimed that he has been charged with rape. Interpol is now after him and hes on the most wanted list.

Originally posted by pkcRAISTLIN wikileaks is one of those issues that i am completely ambivalent about. its capacity for great good is only matched by its capacity for great harm. i know hal and his peace pipers greatly enjoy the merriment, but when he or one of his equally nihilistic idealists are held in some 3rd world prison for smoking pole he'll wonder why "diplomatic pressure" doesn't quite have the same impact it used to.

I want you to teach me your communication skills. Holly fuck, that's some awesome prose right there.
