re: #53 Gus 802

It’s odd but the Dod and other government agencies seem to be rather passive about the whole thing. I don’t understand this. Assange and Wikileaks needs to be at the very least, shut down.

Turning Assange and Wikileaks effectively into martyrs won’t address the core problem, our demonstrable inability to keep classified information classified. Shutting them down can only publicly legitimize their efforts and further erode American standing in the world, and would quickly turn into a game of whack-a-mole. It’s a lose-lose proposition and the Pentagon knows this. The Iraq War is a platter of crap sandwiches, now everyone gets to take a bite.
