This Wikileaks drama is fucking bullshit: there is a difference between lobbying for government transparency and just irresponsibly dumping info on the web. We still have thousands of soldiers over there: they don't deserve to have fucking grid coordinates and BDAs and goddamn unit callsigns published on the goddamn internet. A sophisticated enemy can cull plenty of data from this shit and use it against coalition forces. And believe me, the enemy is sophisticated -- we are not talking about some kind of primitive monsters running around with towels on their heads. We are talking about an agile, adaptive, tech-savvy enemy that has managed to avoid destruction at our hands for the past decade.
Unfortunately, it's too late: the damage is done. Every single fucking byte of data has no doubt been burned onto CDs or DVDs for study. The guys at Wikileaks need to be put in jail: OPSEC violation of this magnitude should be criminal.
