point taken, but i truly don't see why the leak could not be credible.
if there are truly individuals within the upper echoelons of our gov't that have seen enough lies, or maybe they know of the next possible 9-11, and it's 10 times worse, maybe, just maybe they are doing everything within their power to expose this, while also attempting to keep them and their families alive.

So in other words.. your opinions are the only ones that are "likely".. I get it.
This is not the movies.. files are leaked everyday.. be it government, industrial or just plain old dirty emails from hacked accounts.
Saying that something is impossible because of "the might of a whole nation" is a little much.. the pen will always be mightier than the sword. Why do you think they are doing preemptive damage control?

Not really, it looks like they haven't tried hard enough.
Non of the leaks provided any new information, it convinced some brainwashed minds that the mis-management of Iraq and Afghanistan after the invasion/occupation was not America's fault, it points all the fingers at everyone else.

Let's discuss how hard it is to find someone who leaks Government secret reports and files.
If you can prove it is easy to get away for leaking government files, then your opinion will gain some weight.

Sure Assange and Wikleaks... been doing it for sometime now and it has not stopped yet.
None of your statements has more weight than anybody else on these forums discussing this situation.. it is just your opinion like everyone else.

You clearly did not read any of the wikileak Iraq files then... they did nothing to show " the invasion/occupation was not America's fault".
If anything they show negligence by the American government concerning the ongoing activities in Iraq.

What negligence are you talking about?

You did not ask where they originated from.
And that whole discussion is moot.. documents have been leaked to other countries for years... yes most of them get caught, but do you truly believe ALL of them are ALWAYS caught? That is laughable.
NO security is perfect.. none.. never.. even the big bad U.S. security.
You cant prove its not easy to leak files.. for you only hear about the ones that are caught.... so if one uses the same tactic as you, your opinion holds no weight. See how that works?edit on 26-11-2010 by TwiTcHomatic because: (no reason given)

Go read the files... if you want to argue about something you have apparently not even read or looked at with more than a glance.. then you are wasting both of our times.

I never made the claim.
Those who make claims hold the burden of proof.
Stop the negligence please.edit on 26-11-2010 by oozyism because: (no reason given)

Because I am not going to list all the acts of negligence.. (since it would take more time than i care to type tonight) here is a good small synopsis for you...
www.guardian.co.uk...
Now, tell me how any of that takes blame away from the U.S. like you claimed the Iraq documents did in an earlier post in this thread.
No claims.. just facts.

You don't think torture is big? Then I have definitely wasted my time with you.
Yet we are running the war.. we are training those iraqi soldiers... the whole point of that part is that we are overseeing it and letting it happen.. guilty by association.
Keep reading... plenty that the U.S. did.
I am showing my "burden of proof".
Still waiting on yours that it is a dis-info campaign. Other than feelings and opinions.

US authorities failed to investigate hundreds of reports of abuse, torture, rape and even murder by Iraqi police and soldiers whose conduct appears to be systematic and normally unpunished.
