The United States is who you want to keep from knowing what's happening in Afghanistan.

Instead of worrying about what we are doing in our own country and in Gitmo people should take their concerns across the ocean to where our government is actually killing people.

While we've whined about the cushy accommodations of known terrorists our government has been executing "suspects" with no trial or jury and taking a few civilians with them in the process.

Why the outrage over water boarding and not outrage over drone killings and secret hit squads?

I guess it's easier to complain about the stuff you know or understand then the stuff you only wonder about.

Hopefully this lets people know where the truly questionable behavior in our war on terror is happening every day without much fan fair.

While concerns over our home grown war on terror are valid my point is not to say we can't walk and chew gum at the same time.  My point is only that while we've ruminated our government has used these concerns to distract us while it does the real dirty work over seas.

CNN-[box-website posts classified documents] Starr on-are we publishing info that could put troops at risk.  Other guy-what would the US like to do to that man? (Assange) Starr-that's a given.  Leaked other info.  Guy-we need to find out if there is an arrest warrant out for this guy.

Is Pak a reliable partner? we've seen what's reported publicly discussed by you and named govt officials.  Historical relationships between Tali and Pak discussed,... no blank check for Pak, had to change, no more safe havens, extremists there targeting inno Paks so you've seen progress, status quo not acceptable.  Ability of govt to protect info? no doubt, concerning in op sec., real and potential threat to those keeping us safe.

US continue billions to help Taliban? as I said Pres said 2009 mixed results, can't give a blank check to Pak.  Progress in relationship, safe havens, extremists in SWAT and S Wasiristan, extremists that had safe havens now threaten their country.  We are there because of what happened on 9/11.  No safe havens in Af, and will continue to make progress. Sec State comments in Pak, our criticism is public and private, will continue to do so.

Leak, is it accurate?  What is being reported has been discussed.  NYT in Mar 2009 by same authors.  

Consumer regulator?  No time line.  Criteria? Many good candidates, reason Pres wanted this because most not on WS trading level.. loans, buying a home, protect those on Main St.  WS opposition to Warren being weighed? Warren terrific candidate, criticism won't disqualify, confirmable.  MSNBC moves on

CNN: Gibbs- potential to do harm.  Names put individuals at great risk.  Worse embarrass WH?  No revelations.  Info covers 01/04 12/09 can't speak for most of that time.  O ordered more troops, painstaking review, speech new direction, emphasis on our relationship.  Can you erase mistakes made prior in a situation too far gone to turn around with policy change?  not resourced enough, threatens our security, for years troops needed, painstaking review.  Pak govt has spies meeting with Tal to attack troops and Af soldiers?  If Pak working with Tal how can you say war going better?  relationship improving.  Fighting for commom cause(slightly mocking)?  Yes, extremist marching on Pak became a threat to Pak.  Can you say Pak no longer working with Tal? making progress,  no one has declared mission accomplished,  9/11 years underresourced,

Leaks, WH immediate change? DoD can discuss changes.  Motivation of Wiki?  No, DoD might.  President response angry, concerned?  Against the law, alarming 90k published on website.  Sherrod job? Don't know.

Focusing on release rather than content, civilian casualties Pak/Taliban? 03/09 speech, debate about McCrystal demonstrates frustration around rules of engagement and civilian casualties.  Nothing changed by these docs. 03/09 Pres safe havens, hearts and minds capture with civilians captured in firefight

Shocked? Pres does not need to read to be shocked by unnecessary casualty of civi lives, McCrystal Eikenberry saw Pak areas of horrific civi casualties, tragedy, job harder

Harmed or will harm war effort? potential names, missions, secret for a reason, that's the law.  Op security concerns.  Challenges the same today as last week.  Anticipate progress difficult, slow.

Constitute need for eval?

Wiki not objective?  compared us to secret east-german police, has an agenda.  Impact accuracy?  Did they hold back favorable?  We don't know what they do/don't have.  Attack credibility of docs?  haven't seen 90k, coverage does not materially change challenges with Af/Pak.

Leaker in custody?  ongoing investigation.
