John V. Karavitis  One would think that, by now, the federal government would have its act together when it comes to, if not actually safeguarding its own secrets, at least having a mechanism in place to see when 92,000 documents have been copied and taken out.  Also, I do not understand why the feds did not pursue legal action, say, via a court injunction, to block WikiLeaks.  Is this not a national security breach?  Was there nothing that the feds could have done?  My understanding is that the government of Great Britain has greater powers to step in in cases like this.  How was the ball dropped?  Will the feds make sure it doesn't happen again?  John V.

This kind of stuff was also ignored by the Clinton administration. All the warning signs were there but they were too busy with politics as usual. It's happening again under the high-living, incompetent jerk who sits in the WH today. It's dangerous and we'll pay a high price for it. In the meantime, our kids are suffering overseas. What a sad mess we are in. Cry Treason!

NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"

War is supposed to be horrible, Mr. Assange.  A thing to be avoided when possible and wrapped up quickly. Overwhelm the enemy.  Shock and awe.  No "proportionate" response.

Since Rolling Stone was able to take down McChrystal, all these anti-military creeps will be on the march.

We need to flatten these 7th Century throwbacks and get out. The longer these wars go on, the more of this crap will be seen to undermine our men and women in uniform.

...and if you disasgree with me, you're a islamofacist who hates America.

Good to see you at NB, Gut.

Not only do soldiers and sailors die in war, so do civilians. Hilter bombed London, we bombed Dresden, sad loss of innocent life. He should have been acive in exposing the whereabouts of OBL, since he sits in a cave and orders the deaths of innocent Westerners with no moral compunction.

This POS isn't concerned with innocent life, he's just as anti-American as the ACLU, the NYTs, or most of Hollywood. He has betrayed American lives. He doesn't deserve to live.

"They claim their goal is to reveal “unethical behavior,” by the government and corporations."

I was not aware that this man was elected by a public electorate and given the authority to do this kind of thing. He and his information source does not seem to have any qualms about making life or death decisions for thousands of his fellow human beings. Is this not a singular definition of hubris?

So ratting out US and allied snipers and black ops type doesn't make this guy nervous?

I wonder if he would do this to the Russians, Chinese or Iranians...

Seems that people should be afraid to do this and if caught , well a Sadaam -like going away party would seem fair .

Have we just gotten too effeminate to go to war...Caesar talked about the diminished warring attitude among the more civilized..

Assange should be #2 on the international hit list.  He's just as bad as Osama bin Laden.  Probably a greater threat to our national security that Osama bin Laden.

An Air Force person with liberal leanings working for Assange ends up taking advantage of his granted position to steal classified information and leak it to all America's enemies through public media.  WTF IS THAT?

This liberal anti-war activist did more damage to US national security than the Russian spies caught several weeks ago.  All of the our enemies and rivals have access to this info now.  Russia, Iran, Al Quaeda, North Korea, China, Syria, Lebanon, Anarchists,etc, etc, etc.

Assange and his recruits are putting hundreds of millions of people in danger, putting hundreds of thousands of our troops in danger, inciting violence against the USA.

 
Cyberwarfare and physical warfare against this man is justified.  He's done more harm to our national security than any third world terrorist or foreign government has since 9/11.  He is intentionally helping our enemies.  He's not even going after the politicians.  He's going after military and their families. What's the point of releasing security information about military bases other than to give enemies avenues of attack?

 He's an SOB that needs to be dealt with.   

This may surprise some of you who know something about me, but the piece of garbage from down under isn't really the problem. The problem is the scumbag, traitorous soldier who stole these records and then dumped them on the piece of garbage from down under. The only suitable punishment for this type of treason is death, and any attempted prosecution short of that will be cowardly and dishonorable.

I suspect Holder will seek unsupervised probation and 100 hours of community service.

...to see Julian Assange's severed head on a pike, terrible!

Just sayin, terrible.
