  1. Going To Iraq? Afghanistan? by rally2xs · · Score: 1, Troll

    Since Danial Ellsburg did the country a favor and released the Pentagon Papers, now everybody thinks that EVERY secret is just the government trying to cover its misdeeds.

    The problem with that is that I've seen secret tech docs on hardware in the field of battle in Iraq and Afghanistan show up on this Wikileaks site, so therefore the enemy undoubtedly has too.

    Going to Afghanistan? Iraq? Have a Father / Mother / Son / Daughter / Sister / Brother / Friend in one of those places? Thanks to Wikileaks, you or they might just come back in a box, rather than walking down the concourse of your favorite local airport, because the enemy may now know some places our counter-IED equipment does not operate within the RF spectrum. Just lovely.

    For publishing so irresponsibly, I would personally like to see these Wikileak perpetrators tried, convicted, and sentenced for murder. I'd take great pleasure in firing the shot / pulling the trapdoor / throwing the switch / pushing the plunger on whatever method of execution they might have available to them and choose.

    There's just no excuse for endangering the troops... none.
