Should WikiLeaks Be Declared Terrorists?

WikiLeaks, the group that released the sensitive documents on U.S. military, intelligence and diplomatic policy, may end up causing the deaths of Americans and our allies through its actions. So it stands to reason that the government must do something to punish the organization. Rep. Pete King, R-N.Y., the incoming chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee calls for a strong response.

That depends. Do you trust our government 100% to always give us the information we need to make informed decisions? Do you trust them not to lie to promote their own political/economic agendas if they conflict with ours? Do you believe they will always act in our best interests? If so, then yes. If not, then no.

It is time for America to take yet another lesson from Israel.

So the Government is not allowed to keep anything secret?

I don't know about Wiki leaks being labeled terrorist, but I sure hope Bradley Manning, the gay traitor "enjoys" his many, many years in Leavenworth.

Julian Assange: Al Qaeda’s Best Friend

It will take some time to assess the full scope of the damage that has come from WikiLeaks’ latest illegal disclosures of classified information. But certainly the release of this cable may have devastating repercussions for U.S. counterterrorism efforts. The New York Times reports:

It has been previously reported that the Yemeni government has sought to cover up the American role in missile strikes against the local branch of Al Qaeda. But a cable’s fly-on-the-wall account of a January meeting between the Yemeni president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, and Gen. David H. Petraeus, then the American commander in the Middle East, is breathtaking. “We’ll continue saying the bombs are ours, not yours,” Mr. Saleh said, according to the cable sent by the American ambassador, prompting Yemen’s deputy prime minister to “joke that he had just ‘lied’ by telling Parliament” that Yemen had carried out the strikes.

Yes, there has been reporting that Yemen has tried to cover up U.S. missile strikes. But until now this has never been confirmed with the words of Yemeni officials themselves. And it is hard to fathom the damage done to our counterterrorism cooperation by revealing that a Yemeni leader told U.S. officials he had lied to his own legislature.
