Since I am probably the only military vet and war vet on the email chain I would hope that people wouldn't be so 
selfish and irresponsible to leak any information that they or anybody else does not néed to know. So if you are not 
under the gun you don't need to know and neither does the American people unless they are coming over to lend a hand. 
Our lives and our allies lives are at stake that is not propaganda

blah blah blah... yes i would rather sit back in the times when all
we heard was the propaganda of the war machine and no real
information EVER got to the people... ah the good old blissful
times...
this is a good start for one  heck of a flamewar.. so which flame
should we start? american "national security" vs the worlds interest
to know or "leaking" real information that is in direct contrast to
lies published by the government?

answer this: Who watches the watchers? :)

Julian Assange alleges it was a computer hacker who accessed
databases via the
internet who gave him the Afghanistan war logs.

This highlights the need for tighter cyber security laws, not only
are
researchers such as Tavis Ormandy making irresponsible technical
flaw
disclosures, anonymous hackers are leaking national security
information  to
Wikileaks.

We really need to get tougher cyber security laws in place to
tackle what's
going on...

Please get your facts straight, no-one hacked into anything. Army
intelligence analyst Brad Manning was deployed in Iraq and had
access to classified intelligence networks as a normal part of his
job. He simply copied the files to a CD and walked out with them.

Brad then created the nic bradass87 and went online asking if anyone
wanted a copy of his disk. Someone said yes, and then it got handed
over to wikileaks.
