Indeed, Rasmussen put it well as quoted in your linked article:

. . . NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen said any release would create "a very unfortunate situation."

"I can't comment on the details of the exact impact on security, but in general I can tell you that such leaks ... may have a very negative security impact for people involved," he told reporters Friday in Berlin following a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. . . .

This isn't appropriate material for the usual Internet wave of voyeuristic indulgences, much of which is legally and/or ethically questionable anyway. It's dangerous and deadly business to do that and it's not material to which they are entitled to possess, never mind distribute and publicise globally. We're not talking about legitimate whistleblowing on illegal conduct, but dumping massive classified documents regarding a UN authorised and international forces war against a global threat, namely AQ and its Taliban ally. Enacting and/or enforcing criminal laws prohibiting and sanctioning such conduct ought to be in order.

I ask for not the first time... why are these guys (guy?) still alive?

Of course it begs the question, how does a website get a hold of 390,000 pages of classified documents?

I think they should capture them alive and get medieval on their asses with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch until they turn in the mole who gave them access to the classified documents. Then shoot them.

Rasmussen is the former danish PM - a stupid fucking cunt and nazi-asshole that has NEVER admitted to have made ANY mistakes in his entire political career. In his last years as PM he were almost never present at home, but used most of his time to travel around and kissing asses to become General secretary of NATO (not exactly what he was paid to do as a PM). All this while completely denying to everybody that he was a canditate for the job.

But enough about that cocksucker - he is propably right in this particular case.

It does.

But that, of course, doesn't negate the fact that the fuckers involved in this should be aerated...

this calls for a cyber attack

Do you listen to yourself? You are are calling for the death of people who use their right to freedom of speech. I'll fucking say it again:

You are are calling for the death of people who use their right to freedom of speech.

That's quite astounding to me. And sad.

Freedom of speech doesn't extend to treason, and treason is a capitol offense.

I don't believe Wikileaks is an American organization. As such, I don't give a fuck about their "rights" if their "rights" threaten our operations or our people...

Unfortunately it looks like this is going to be the new norm. Lots of military personnel have been unhappy with their responsibilities through the years and many choose to see only their version of what's happening. These people often choose to take action against the military for perceived "atrocities". It isn't a new thing but before, where an enemy agent had to seek out these malcontents and compromise them (not always too difficult a task) they now need look no farther than the internet.

I'd be willing to bet that the turds that leaked this stuff feel mighty proud of themselves and if someone dies because of their actions....well, it's a pity but, of course, it's all for the greater good.

Since wikileaks is an international group, it wouldn't necessarily be treason. Enemy combatant possibly, but not treason unless its americans or other coalition citizens.

International law must be too lax if wikileaks does not belong to a certain country, and this is possible to publish without consequences. Blame the politicians, as usual.
