Goodnight AC360Team and fellow bloggers.

Anderson,

See you tomorrow night!!! Just a plenty sleep at home!
Nice suit!!!! I love your suit!!! 🙂
Good night Anderson, great show. Wish we could spend more time one subject but it sounds like we have a lot in our pot brewing.
Good night everyone. Anderson, you're looking spiffy tonight.
Was this man introduced? I didn't get his name. He sounds British. If he's not a U.S. citizen and is living outside the U. S., then I assume the the U. S. government has no authority over him and therefore is unable to bring charges against him.
Thank you Anderson and good night Team 360. Another excellent show tonight. I wish you a safe and pleasant day tomorrow.
Good night All, great blog, as always!
@Emily, David, Megan- i will not have my laptop for about 3 wks so will likely be off the blog for a while unless i can rig something up with my desktop.
This guy thinks he knows better than trained intelligence agents what's vital or sensitive and what isn't. Who does he think he is? His whole attitude is smug and arrogant. I hope they go after him and put him in deep dark jail cell somewhere for the rest of his life.
Good night Anderson, 360°Team, Jo Ann, Mike, David & Isabel, Megan, Nicole, Sree, Nancy, Starr, Gloria, & Bloggers!
Great to see you in your studio again, Anderson.
@ Starr, i do hope there are no names published, in Dutch press there was only about the heat missle attack by the Taliban (scary thing) and... more civlilian death then reported..
Good show tonight. Have a good night everyone
Good Night Everyone! Anderson!
Another great show tonight Anderson and AC360! Was a little surprised to see you in the studio (had gotten used to seeing you in the Gulf).
Great discussion tonight bloggers...hope everyone has a great evening!
Wow, if I lived in a war-zone, I would not help anyone if I saw my name on the internet! There's no way that I'd provide information.
Good Evening Anderson, 360 team, Megan thanks for the kind welcome, and other bloggers... have a wonderful evening and week.
various perspectives are always informative. found it interesting.
It's not Wikileaks job to decide what will or will not harm the war effort. They aren't qualified to do so.
How does he know that he's not going to "cause any harm" to anyone?
7 months old?
The war has been going on since 2001...
@ Starr thanks for your response and I agree the story on the pipeline is extremely concerning Part of what happened with the Valdez spill was that spill response equip repairs were not up to date.
I haven't seen Fox new's reporting on the tape of Ms Sherrod's speech, other than a brief clip, but from the embarrassment that has been caused all around I would think that the most important pt in all of this is being sure to do background research, intvw sources and check context before airing and commenting on a story or someone's remarks to an audience
If actual peoples' names were published, that is Ugely irresponsible and dangerous! Some people might be killed depending on where their names appeared and in what capacity.
@Mike- i agree on the Treason charge during wartime. I have heard that one private has been turned in as a "source" in this matter.
@ Megan. Sad about the leaks.. and Thanks for the welcome
@Mike, formerly from Syracuse,
I was wondering what you thought of this...
Do you think that the person should be prosecuted for their actions?
Gloria
I completely agree. I am continually amazed at the lack of common sense in people of power and position.
@ Brad ,,Ohio.............Thank you for serving our country...........These documents may be old news,,,But its real concerning that they may gain access to whats happening now and it could put our troops in more danger..
Each document in itself may not give something away. Taken together, these could be extremely revealing of very sensitive info.
@ Starr, formerly known as vincent.
Thanks so much. Luckily I don't have to have the payments from BP to make it, but am due it. I really feel bad for the ones that need the payments for there entire income.
Greetings All !
Great show, a lot of leaks lately first the oil now the confidential papers...
What next ?
I do hope there are no names of translators in these documents, lot of them get attacked after being employed for military operations and they don´t get a ticket out..
Really hope these people know what they are putting outthere, not more dead anywhere.
Only a good thing if it contributes to peace.
If Publishing these documents place people's lives at risk, those responsible for the publishing of these documents should be arrested.
Please have the sociology professor back! He was extremely eloquent and informative....I'm pretty sure the GOP spokesman didn't understand 3/4 of what the good professor said, though....
I agree with professor Dison, and Howard Dean , FOX and parts of the tea party and the repulicans foster racism. I will not vote for any repulican or teaparty person.
@Gloria, good one! Now the question is.....did the person who leaked these documents have common sense?
Not good news for me heard that someone leaked documentaries released...... YIKES, I agree all of panels said.
Releasing these documents in time of war is treason.
I grew up in the Military....my Dad put in 33 yrs. Naval Air.
Although there may be nothing "new" in these documents, i do not believe they should have been "leaked".
Any military info that is classified shoutd NOT be released to the public as it can certainly be dangerous in many ways.
Leaked info is only important if Any powerful entity LIes to the American people ie. the Pentagon Papers.
The release of the afghan war documents is downright disturbing and traitorous!
"Common sense should tell one not to put classified documents online!"
There is a proper procedure for declassifying documents. It's not up to a 'whistleblower' to decide what could harm us or not.
Goodnight everyone, Megan, moderators, Mr. Cooper back in the suit and tie. Chat with you all tomorrow 🙂
