The truth is out there, there are just too few journalists with courage to tell it without governments interfering or imprisoning the journalists. China, N.Korea and Russia wouldn't allow this. Isn't this the kind of freedom we keep fighting for?
November 30 2010 at 10:48 AM PermalinkIt's time everyone understand that Sarah Palin would blame President Obama for just about anything at this point in time. She has no idea what she's talking about. So what else is new? She's taking advantage of not having any political responsibility at this time. If the shoe where on the other foot she'd be crying like a baby all over FOX news, and blaming the Democrats. I hope everyone can see that?
November 30 2010 at 10:48 AM PermalinkWell how can you disagree with anyone who criticizes the Obama administration. It has been widely reported that up to ONE MILLION people had access to these documents. Did anyone at the White House consider "someone.........anyone" would be tempted to access them and pass them on? Where is our Attorney General since the last time they were leaked to this idiot who lives in some far off land, and posts them as he sees fit. Now the USA has being condemed by foreign leaders for our incompetence in guarding our secret posts from them. Who else should be blamed?
November 30 2010 at 10:47 AM PermalinkIt is amazing how every event that takes place is somehow the administrations fault . First of all, when did this young man steal and deliver all of this information? Secondly to answer here question about the 22 year old having access to such information. As a former Navy RM/T (Radioman/Crypto tech)at age 19 I had access to far more sensitive information. Mrs. Palin continues to show she has no clue. The individuals who monitor and supervise this type of information were there prior to the Obama administration and will be there after Mr. Obama finishes his second term.
November 30 2010 at 10:42 AM Permalink +5You got that right for a change. It seems that just about every thing that goes wrong is the fault of the present administration.
November 30 2010 at 10:53 AM PermalinkThose of us who have been following the political scene everyday, know who Sarah Palin, the Half-term ex governor of Alaska, is. Only in our great country can a person of so limited intellectual capability can make lots of mney for being extemely negative and nasty, about anything not white, especially, President Obama, the first non-white president of the USA. But, Mr. President Obama, Sir, if you continue to choose to remain silent by not responding to her unjustified and insulting criticism about this Weakileak affairs, don't expect people like me, to continue to support you.

November 30 2010 at 10:28 AM PermalinkCarlos...Your speech sound like one straight from the democractic convention. The media and liberals are are afraid of Palin for she can do what they cannot..Report the true facts!!
November 30 2010 at 10:26 AM PermalinkPalin is right! I'm not crazy about her, but dang she's got a thousand percent more character, wisdom and common sense than Obama Bin Lyin has. We need to start in january to overwhelm Speaker of the House John Boehner with requests from the American people to invoke the 25th amendment on Biden AND Obama and put them both out of office on grounds of mental incompetency.
November 30 2010 at 10:12 AM Permalink +1It is truly a shame that the administration can not keep secrets, secret. I do question whether the current administration had a hand in the leaks. By not intercepting them and doing whatever is possible to disrupt the posts it certainly makes the administration look as a co-conspirator or just plain incompetant. On the other hand, freedom of information can be good for the public. On the other it hampers our diplomatic efforts when names get posted, analysis is posted, and stategy is revealed. Where freedom of information has to be stopped is when it endangers any lives government or otherwise.
November 30 2010 at 9:50 AM Permalink +5sorry but this is America and freedom of speech means stuff like this is going to happen, and the papers and internet will makes sure everyones gets to read it! If you want to stop the leaks stop the organizations that are so happy to publish this stuff; oooops can't can we. Also this is the age of the internet and nothing out there is ever secret. This is not the Administrations fault and there is no way it could have been stopped legally.
November 30 2010 at 10:52 AM PermalinkNot a big fan of Palin, but all of her points were valid. Certainly it does not appear that Obama made any real effort to prevent this information from being released, but rather he did what he always does: spent his time apologizing to the foreign leaders for what was about to be released. Since these documents put Hillary Clinton in a very bad light, perhaps Obama intentionally failed to take steps to keep this information from the public. After all, if the economy doesn't turn around in the next year, Obama will likely be challenged by Hillary in the primaries.
