Assange Op Ed in The Australian newspaper

Absolutely. Civil disobedience is important to keep an out of control government in check, and Manning exposed criminal activities that our State Dept. has been involved in. He should be praised, and Hillary and Condoleezza should be in prison.
I think you could make a case for whistleblowing if he actually exposed any criminal activity...like proof of torture or war crimes. He didn't. I would be surprised, and in fact disappointed, to find that our government did not keep tabs on other governments, friendly or not. I'd also be surprised if other governments didn't keep tabs on ours.

There is nothing in what was released that anyone needs to know...except that the State Department is doing what it is supposed to do.

Stealing credit card information, banking information, physical DNA, etc... is a crime.
Show me the evidence that this was ever done...and I don't mean hysterical ranting about it, I mean the actual concrete evidence.

This sounds more and more like the stupid hysteria over climate science when things were leaked and taken out of context.

Are you saying you want the leaked files from WikiLeaks to be posted, or are you calling that the "hysterical ranting?"

Yes...post the cables in question.

But he is guilty of espionage.

What information has he released? Nothing that would harm the military. The only information so far as been what the government has been doing, which has not been of any military value. If Assange is silenced who's to say the government will stop there?
Locations of sensitive installations is of military value.

I was unaware of that. There's something terribly wrong here and the wrong is in the government. I would not doubt the government released some of the information to make Assange look bad. The government motto for the last 70 years as been the end justifies the means.

No, I quoted the relevant part, but the link is there if you'd like to look at it further. It's not that hard to draw a conclusion. American officials were told to steal biometric and credit card information, among other things, from UN officials, and this cable came from the Secretary of State. These are criminal acts.

I don't know that it would be against board rules or copyright infringement, but I'm not going to copy and paste the entire cable, which is fairly long, regardless. However, it doesn't matter. I copied the relevant portions of the cable, if she can't form an opinion from what I've supplied she won't be able to form an opinion from the rest of the cable I don't think. As to why she doesn't want to go to the website I have no idea.

Let "freedom" ring... etc... etc...

Not technically a traitor means not a traitor at all, by the way. To label him a traitor would require a certain amount of judicial activism. Surely you don't want that?
Do you support what Manning did? If so, why?

Absolutely. Civil disobedience is important to keep an out of control government in check, and Manning exposed criminal activities that our State Dept. has been involved in. He should be praised, and Hillary and Condoleezza should be in prison.

What were those criminal activities by our State Dept.?

The board rules refer to copyrighted material - articles from newspapers, etc. Most everything on the internet is copyrighted material.

The cables are not copyrighted material. They are now public domain, which means you're free to post as much of them as you want, according to copyright law.

The board rules may be different, I'm not a mod or admin. But there would be no copyright violation.

You missed the relevant part of that rule. (The part I highlighted).

The cables are NOT an "article".

This argument is retarded, I'm not going to continue it. But you might want to do a bit of research into copyright law.
