“Since the dawn of modern warfare, the best way to stay alive in the face of incoming fire has been to take cover behind a wall. But thanks to a game-changing ‘revolutionary’ rifle, the U.S. Army has made that tactic dead on arrival. Now the enemy can run, but he can't hide.”
“Interpol, at the request of a Swedish court looking into alleged sex crimes from earlier this year, has put WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on its most-wanted list.

“A family of former asylum-seekers from Somalia are living in a £2.1million luxury townhouse in one of Britain's most exclusive addresses at a cost to taxpayers of £8,000 a month…
Mr Nur said his former five-bedroom home in the Kensal Rise area of Brent, which cost £900 a week in housing benefit, was suitable for the family's needs but he said they had felt compelled to move because they did not like living 'in a very poor area' and were unhappy with the quality of local shops and schools…

How can we be trusted with secrets or even not so secret opinions. The Wikileaks people funnel documents to the press at will, and for the sole purpose of damaging U.S. relations with other countries, our war efforts, and our intelligence capability. These leaks are an attack on the US and we do almost nothing about it. If the Obama Administration took action that would be the surprise…
The reaction of our government is embarrassing. We are the laughingstock of the world, we look impotent.”
“The Obama administration has told whistle-blower WikiLeaks that its expected imminent release of classified State Department cables will put ‘countless’ lives at risk, threaten global counterterrorism operations and jeopardize U.S. relations with its allies.”
