All of the documentation covers a time prior to Obama taking office, so the grandparent is correct: this reflects entirely on Dubya and his administration, not Obama, whatever Obama's failings may be.
Which I'm sure was the intent of the leak. Funny how only documents from W's term are leaked. If the intent was as stated then the leaker would have grabbed all documents he had access to...no?
But then no one would use Wikileaks as a partisan mechanism to selectively leak only documents that damages those they oppose, leaving transgressions attributable to those they support unmentioned, would they?
Yeah, right.
And I suppose all the informants that are now being hunted down by the Taliban are of no concern because of the greater good being pursued here eh?
Another alternative is to print and bind books well as burn CDs on premises.
I go to a book store for two reasons, kill time while in a shopping center or because I need a book now, not two days from now.
Also:
* All manner of publications, even out of print, could be available with minimal wait time. * Nothing would ever be out of stock. * Theoretically, the books would cost less after equipment costs are amortized because of less shipping. * Custom mix CDs would be a big hit, but the music industry would probably have a major pantie wadding event at the thought of this.
Here's what you'll get. You will learn language A, become proficient in it, get a job using it and then eventually get laid off.
When you look for work, you'll find that Language A is no longer the "in thing". They want people that know language B, which was introduced 5 years ago.
The H.R. people will want only candidates that have 7 years experience in language B.
Then you'll learn B, but someone will come up with B#, B-, B++, B--, all basically the same thing, but with just enough differences that they can copyright it and irritate the hell out of you when trying to figure out where to put the semi-colon
The H.R. people won't accept experience in the B(variation) that you know, only the B(variation) that they want.
And then you'll have to deal with language bigots. You know B(variation) but not D? Well then, you are one or more of: a) not as productive b) not a "real" programmer" c) you write buggy code.
Then the E bigots will dump on the D bigots while the database language "Seroquel" (many programmers know what this is are are probably taking it) bigots watch with amused expressions because they know only their language is a "real" language.
It gets worse.
At some point they will change the entire paradigm of application development to a new one where you have less control over how it looks, works differently depending on the user's browser preference and requires giant servers. Sure, you don't have to deal with Installers, but at the cost of submitting your program to the whims of the server, the network and the user's preference of browsers.
Oh...and H.R. now wants:

Using their regulatory powers, the feds can jack up the cost of anything to as high as needed in order to make an argument for politically correct power generation.
I'd like to get a smart phone and use it just as a voice phone...not using any of the data features except the Wifi connection.
AT&T Cust Service says they can detect the Smart phone and will automatically charge for data service.
So I'm willing to give up the AT&T's Internet features on the phone and just stick with voice and texts and be satisfied with using hot spots when I can find them
So is there a way to hide the fact that a "smart phone" is connected?
You don't seem to get that THEY is a group of people who 1) have a political agenda and 2) are not accountable to anyone.
While their political agenda currently matches yours, at some point it time I'm sure it won't. I expect you will have a completely different opinion then
Can we trust our own leaders? Same answer, unfortunately.
If you can't trust our elected officials to do the right thing when it comes to the essential job of the government, then it's Game Over.
There no difference then between Wikileaks and just shooting some random politician that you don't think you trust.
That's because you forsake the system to which we all agreed: a Representative Government. You don't like the war? Get your ass elected and do something about it.
noting how wikileaks take great care not to endanger people,
I'm so glad that some jack ass with a political axe to grind will "take great care" to not endanger people.
If it's all the same to you, I'd rather let the professionals in the armed forces decide what is potentially harmful.
Sensitive negotiations on the other hand usually imply "crimes behind them",
So negotiations to perhaps ensure that the nukes don't fall into the terrorists hands is hiding some crime?
The bottom line here is that we elect people who's job it is to decide what happens, when and how and they appoint others to do the same. If things go bad, then they are ultimately held accountable. Maybe not as fast as you want and maybe not to the degree you want, but that's the system that we have.

I think you meant to post this crap here.

Call me when I can pick it up at Home Depot.
Yes, that is from a for real job requirement.

No worries.

California and Greece. Sister states.
Is it any wonder?
You can argue it with ABC News and their expert.
Since they didn't cite you, I'll presume you are not an "expert".
You have to be deliberately misreading that to come to that conclusion.
As in eaten by microbes, evaporated, etc.
"experts say an astonishing amount has disappeared, reabsorbed into the environment. "
While not all of it is gone, apparently a good portion of it is.
Read the link before you spout off.
Especially when they can't find it
Th omission of facts is a form of bias. And that bias is a result an agenda.
I'd like to get a smart phone and use it just as a voice phone...not using any of the data features except the Wifi connection.
AT&T Cust Service says they can detect the Smart phone and will automatically charge for data service.
So I'm willing to give up the AT&T's Internet features on the phone and just stick with voice and texts and be satisfied with using hot spots when I can find them
So is there a way to hide the fact that a "smart phone" is connected?
Does not their agenda color what facts they release?
Would they not be likely to ignore transgressions of their favorite political personality while calling out others?
You want the facts, but the people controlling "the facts" have good reason to provide selected facts or even make up facts.
In a sense, they are no different than your hated government controlling the facts except that you can't kick them out of office.
Yeah, because THEY think...
You don't seem to get that THEY is a group of people who 1) have a political agenda and 2) are not accountable to anyone.
While their political agenda currently matches yours, at some point it time I'm sure it won't. I expect you will have a completely different opinion then
Frankly, I could care less what Assange's motivations are, so long as his acts stick to delivering the facts, rather then opinionated crap
That's the point entirely. There is NOTHING that ensures he will stick to facts.
If there is ANYTHING you believe should be kept secret then you would not be supporting wikileaks.
Like these guys?

It would be better if you were inclined to change the governments and the media that make some people feel Wikileaks is necessary.

In Texas we shoot sons of bitches who endanger our country.
