There is nothing mentioned which other intelligence services did not know, and, frankly, except for that particular voluptuous Ukrainian blond, we did not know. I find it interesting that the reaction to this is so much more pungent than when the aim of the Wikileaks was against our military. Apparently, Planet Pepe finds details of how it kept up with the shenanigans of Batman and Robin substantially more troublesome than dead Ricain soldiers. Shocker.

Wiki Hits The The World of Dipli in the Leaki
There is nothing mentioned which other intelligence services did not know, and, frankly, except for that particular voluptuous Ukrainian blond, we did not know. I find it interesting that the reaction to this is so much more pungent than when the aim of the Wikileaks was against our military. Apparently, Planet Pepe finds details of how it kept up with the shenanigans of Batman and Robin substantially more troublesome than dead Ricain soldiers. Shocker.

A Rational Response
From Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R., Mich.) ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee:
“Wikileaks clearly is determined to undermine U.S. national security and damage our foreign relations. The disclosure of thousands of potentially classified cables and other documents is an embarrassment to the Obama administration and represents a critical failure by the Pentagon and intelligence community to protect sensitive national security information.
“Once again our partners and allies are forced to question whether the United States can keep secrets, and our diplomats around the world have been forced to scramble to try and patch-up foreign relations strained by this illegal leak. ODNI’s national counterintelligence executive must move quickly to assess the failures in this case and to establish security protocols, including robust audit capabilities for classified networks. Congress also should move quickly to hold hearings to ensure ODNI, the military and FBI have the necessary counterintelligence authorities to ensure a destructive leak of this nature cannot happen again.
“The disclosure of these documents by Wikileaks had nothing to do with transparency or whistleblowing, as the site would claim, and everything to do with undermining American foreign policy. As the world’s number one target for spying by foreign adversaries and now clearly other hacks, the federal government must do a better job of strengthening America’s computer and cybersecurity protocols. If we do not, we risk leaving exposed an Achilles heel that could cause irreparable damage to our global partnerships and international standing.”
This is lese majeste with Obama the majeste.
Smart power.
