I am so tired of hearing about Wikileaks, the Whistle-Blower site. It is just not true. The definition of a “whistle blower: an informant who exposes wrongdoing within an organization in the hope of stopping it". Obviously. “WikiLeaks” is not inside any organization. More importantly, to print classified documents is not the same as exposing wrongdoing, unless of course you are believe everything the US does is wrong.
There is no "smoking gun" here. Is it not obvious that war zone intelligence is full of unsubstantiated reports, rumors and just plain lies? Particularly in a conflict like Iraq where just a few years ago the opinion makers were calling this conflict a civil war. In a place where there are few uniformed combatants, every prinsoner can claim to be an innocent civilian. In a conflict, rife with infiltrators, spies and shifting alliances, every casualty or alleged casualty was murderously gunned down from a now now vanished helicopter. Considering that this region of the world has a history of hundreds of years of tribal, ethnic, religious and territorial conflicts and these conflicts have been filled with brutality, murder, rape and torture; then the charge that these practices are continuing is hardly a revelation.
What is ridiculous is to pretend that the publishing of classified documents is somehow a noble gesture, performed to expose and end the evil practices of the US. Instead, let's be honest about this site and call it what it is, “Wikileaks – ant-US propaganda site”.
Here is the President of the United States. At a memorial for those killed at Ft Hood. I know it would be too much to ask him to salute or hold his hand over his heart: but could he have the decency, to at least stand up straight with his hands at his side, instead of this crotch cradle prose. It is amazing that this man will bow and scrape in the presents of any foreign dictator or psycho "President for Life" around the world. But when it comes to honoring the men and women who were killed in the line of duty. Well we get the bored waiter pose. This transcends political affiliation, citizens of this country no matter what their party, should be highly offended by this behavior.
