		<description><![CDATA[I, like one or two others find if hard to believe that in all these tens of thousands of pages of so-called secrets there is no mention of the biggest prize of all, the mother lode, if you will, those pesky poppies.

Perhaps there is and this is just too sensitive for the purveyors of news to tell us.

Here&#039;s another possibility and it involves, yep, The Usual Suspects.

		<description><![CDATA[A fuller report is here citing the possibility of using  the 1917 Espionage Act!

I see that the unfortunate young man Bradley Manning is being brought back from Kuwait to Virginia. God help him.  What will be done to him there? 

Assange said on the BBC this week that some of $1million that the general public has donated will go to  give Manning legal assistance.

If Obomber can get the Nobel Prize for Peace, then Assange deserves a truckload of them.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why was the flat voiced Robert Gates sounding off about Julian Assange and why was a sidekick accusing him of having &#039;blood on his hands&#039;  (how rich is that?)  if what this author says at the end here is correct?

New York Times reporters met with White House before publishing WikiLeaks story

The administration &quot;praised&quot; New York Times reporters for their handling of leaked Afghan war material 
By Alex Pareene  Salon

The White House was very upset with WikiLeaks for its decision to publish thousands of pages of classified reports and documents describing our mission in Afghanistan. But according to Yahoo&#039;s Michael Calderone, it was very pleased with how the New York Times dealt with its semi-exclusive access to the documents.

Times Washington bureau chief Dean Baquet took reporters Mark Mazzetti and Eric Schmitt to the White House last week to brief the administration on what they planned on publishing. And they all got gold stars.

“I did in fact go the White House and lay out for them what we had,” Baquet said. “We did it to give them the opportunity to comment and react. They did. They also praised us for the way we handled it, for giving them a chance to discuss it, and for handling the information with care. And for being responsible.”

The Times redacted some information in the name of &quot;national security&quot; and protecting the safety of individual soldiers, but the White House doesn&#039;t seem to have told the Times that publishing stories based on these documents would in any real way harm our troops.

So, uh ... why was all of this information classified and top secret? If it&#039;s old news, and it just confirms what &quot;everyone&quot; already knows, what was the rationale for keeping it classified and calling WikiLeaks all sorts of mean names for publishing it?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Joe Glenton has just been released from a military prison. He was sentenced and fined for speaking out and for refusing to return to Afghanistan.  In this video of him speaking to a rally in London on Tuesday evening I think you can sense the stress he has been under.  At the end when he apologises to the people of Afghanistan,  he is near to breaking point.  Not a great public speaker but a very brave young man.

		<description><![CDATA[Iranian President Dr. Ahmadinejad has accused the US and Israel of planning to invade two regional Muslim countries to pressure the Islamic Republic. First I thought he meant Syria and Lebanon – but after studying the recent Wikileaks (twin Jewish sister of Wikipedia) – I have decided to bet my Canadian dollar on Pakistan and Lebanon. Why? Because Pakistan is the sole Muslim nuclear power and Lebanese Islamic Resistance, Hizbullah, is the only Muslim militia which has defeated the Jewish army twice (in 2000 and 2006).

The 91,000 ‘leaks’ documents expose US propaganda lies about its military success, carpet-bombing, civilian death and US-appointed Hamid Karzai government to cover its nine-year-old war in Afghanistan conceived by the neocons (mostly Jewish) several month before the 9/11. The two main reasons for the invasion of Afghanistan were the Caspian Sea oil/gas reserves and the supply of opium. Both of the desired aims were to benefit Zionist elites and Israel in the long run. In 2010, the US taxpayers are going to pay towards Washington’s wars for Israel in Afghanistan ($65 billion), Iraq ($61 billion) and Palestine ($6 billion). The US-Canada alliance in Afghanistan is expected to cost US$22 billion to the Canadian taxpayers..........
