WHOOOOOPS

Post by CUDA »

More than 250,000 secret U.S. diplomatic cables are now available in full and unfiltered online, exposing scores of U.S. diplomatic sources and informants that were meant to be protected often for their own safety, according to the website WikiLeaks.

well lets see how the informants like being exposed like they did the Secret documents
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

This is terrific. Let's see who misses the last helicopter out of the Saigon of helping US intelligence services in the future.

Something else that is coming out in the cables is all the pressure that the US puts on other countries to enforce copyrights at the request of the MPAA/RIAA.

And, surprise, the U.S. of A. under Bush and crew, were "renditioning" people captured during both wars to........ wait for it........ LIBYA, delivered right to Colonel Qaddafi, that model of stature and statesmanship who would never even harm a fly. A convenient little torture nation to send people to who we wanted "interrogated" without soiling our hands with the moniker of "torturers". :wink:
