The truth about the unseemly way in which the US State Department has been behaving should not have gone public, insists Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who today called the revelation of these facts “an attack on the international community.”
The Obama Administration has expressed outrage at what amounts to the revelation of a growing number of crimes committed under their watch (and often on their direct orders), with White House spokesman Robert Gibbs calling the leaks a serious crime.
Of course, the Supreme Court has already ruled that classified documents can be published by the press, and while the original leaker himself, apparently Pfc Bradley Manning, may well be liable for prosecution under the Military Code of Justice, his crime certainly pales in comparison to those the documents detail.
One of the documents, for instance, was signed by Secretary Clinton, and ordered officials at dozens of US embassies to attempt to steal personal data, including credit card information, from a number of top UN officials. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is said to be extremely concerned that the US attempted to steal his credit card, and likely much less concerned that someone revealed the attempted theft.
Clinton should shut the hell up. She is a disgrace and doesn't represent the citizens of her own country, much less the world. The Wiki leaks are a great victory for the world, while those who would attack them are the enemies of the world who seek to hide their own vile actions. Enemies of truth are enemies of freedom, democracy, and life.
Except- Israel is not mentioned, The Official Government Conspiracy Theory® of 9/11 is pushed, and Iran is the enemy of ALL Arab states.
Sounds like Wikileaks is a Mossad/CIA front.
Me thinks that Madam SecState "doth protest too much." Schoolmarm Clinton maintains that Wikileaks are "an attack on the international community." Horses*#t!
Madam Schoolmarm got caught and our world now knows what a comprehensive ass the woman is in fact.
Wikileaks leaking gossip and petty arrogance at State is merely axiomatic of the sheer petty and sophomoric leadership we receive from the State Department.
Yes, Madam SecState is NOT up to the task.
Golly, what might T. Jefferson think about all this?
Secretary Pants Suit seems to be in all a dither.
Hey now.
Hillary looks quite fetching in her pant suits!
Here's a question for people:
Who's hotter?
Condoleeza Rice in her Matrix/Dominatrix power suit?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A51…
Or Hillary and her um, pumpkin costume?
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/photos/uncategori…
As she is one of the ones doing crime, not WikiLeaks; looks like it is time to call for Ms. Clinton's resignation.
wikileaks = worst than than the holocaust!!!
well i guess now we know what hillary defines as "the world"
I am surprised that Hilary made the comment about the cable release being 'an attack on the world' because it competes with America's brazen 'attack on the world.'
There is only one nation attacking the world and that's 'God Bless America." It's busy in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's teasing and killing in Yemen and Pakistan. It's planning to attack Iran with nukes. It's up to its ears in various coups in South America and who knows what it's up to in Africa and Korea to say nothing of Fiji?
How easily the world is conned. It's pathetic really. The U.S. is a Trojan Horse, the biggest the world has ever seen and clearly it is the most dangerous.

Humanity's greatest danger is Anglo-American alliance of terror! Anglo-Americans are minor part of humanity possessing the most destructive weaponry ever invented and spending most of their tax dollars on it.
LOL.
American rulers increasingly resemble Roman emperors in terms of the imperious arrogance.
And in this particular case, Hitlerly Clinton once again shows her meglomanical delusion.
It appears that Hitlery's defintion of "the World"=America.
Don't worry, Hitlery, maybe someday you can be just as delusional as Madeline "America is the Indispensible Nation" Albright.

"If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear."
That's the official stance, right?
Oh yeah. It's just for the rubes.
Hillary Clinton needs to be indicted and prosecuted. Ordering the State Department to conduct identity theft and fraud is very serious.
What kind of diplomacy were they planning on conducting with that kind of information? Swiping Ban's credit card at RentBoy.com a few times then blackmailing him?
The Clintooniac should have dropped in the word "genocide" somewhere in there. That usually works to shut the world up when its a white man…. or woman, who's on the receiving end.
Clinton is attempting to hide (and thus defend) EMPIRE.
Disclosure of how the US deals death, 'diplomacy' (sic), and financial ruin on a global basis will not be perceived by average people everywhere as an "Attack on the World" — but as an 'Attack on the Global EMPIRE' which only poses as the nation-state formerly called the US.
If the leaks are what Clinton claims, an attack on the international community, meaning those who run the world, it is long overdue, the bastards.
I thought the American military/CIA was an attack on the world!
What a disgrace on this nation that it elects disgraces to public office like Clinton, Bush and Obama while ignoring the wise words of statesmen and humanitarians like Ron Paul. Hillary is a national disgrace and was made Secretary of State by Obama to keep her for running against his failed presidency in the next election. However, it is an indictment on Americans that any of this individuals should be considered for public office, much less elected. Can you imagine Ron Paul telling the State Department to steal credit card numbers? Hillary should resign. Her sense of logic and reason is an attack on the world.
Clinton and her ilk are not only an attack on the intelligence of the international community, her protestations come close to blasphemy.
Imagine for an instant if EVERY secret document in the possession of EVERY nation on the planet earth was suddenly published. Heads would surely roll. Governments would collapse. Several billion would be spent on a new state of the art prison to hold all the corrupt, lying, murdering politicians. NOW THAT would be a real new world order……..
FTA: "One of the documents, for instance, was signed by Secretary Clinton, and ordered officials at dozens of US embassies to attempt to steal personal data, including credit card information, from a number of top UN officials. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is said to be extremely concerned that the US attempted to steal his credit card, and likely much less concerned that someone revealed the attempted theft."
The Clinton White House had FBI dossiers on hundreds of members of congress and federal employees, so no one should be surprised when she instructs US diplomats to steal information on their foreign counterparts.
Everyone seems to be coming down on Hillary because she is leading the charge against Wikileaks. But where are the ethical "maverick" american politicians who are standing up against her? If they are speaking out neither the mainstream media nor the blogs are taking up on the story.
Credit cards? DNA? There is no legitimate reason, not to mention reasons of morality and dignity, that these thefts could even attempt to justify. DNA can only be used to incriminate someone in a criminal offense. Given how busy these people are, it is very likely that a score of "small" charges could be made to their credit cards, and remain unnoticed and therefore the charges remain unchallenged. There are so many opportunities for abuse of this information, that it is mindboggling that someone in this position of responsibility will ever contemplate such acts, and that such orders are actually obeyed. Makes one wonder at the depth of depravity. She should resign and allow Obama to select someone with a modicum of respect around the world. Her appointment was anyway a shotgun marriage.
The poor, poor Clinton family (the Addamns Family?):
Whitewatergate, Lewinski-gate, Kosovo-gate, NAFTA-gate–and, now: <b<Ban Ki-moon-gate</b>!
The poor, poor Clinton family (the Addams Family?):
Whitewatergate, Lewinski-gate, Kosovo-gate, NAFTA-gate, Aristide-gate–and, now: Ban Ki-moon-gate!
Wikileaks attacks the Criminals and Criminal governments and political figures like Hilary many corrupted members of US government.
Wikileaks is "FREE WORLD" free from the truth…..
Someone tell the woman the world is more than the US government.
From where I stand a lot of the international clutter seems de-cobwebbed. Fresh. Clean.
Though her world probably feels attacked at the moment, I suspect that if she can keep her job, and the US can make some graceful changes (not apologies). It could actually work out more in their favour than anything they could do.
It is going to take some introspection though, seeing as how the human rights abuses in the earlier leaks and all didn't merit any changes. Pointing fingers at Wikileaks is only going to end in disaster. It would have worked if the US were clean….
Hillary has no credentials to speak on ANYTHING any longer. She signed an order for her minions to conduct illegal activities, KNOWING such acts were in violation of US and international law, and has the gall to accuse others of wrongdoing.
Hillary is no more than a common criminal, as are those who actually did her bidding, and each and every one of them needs to be prosecuted for their crimes.
shrillery gets carried away again.
looks good on the lying Yanks
I've just done a post on Killary. You might want to check it out.

When do the congressional hearings begin? Isn't identity theft a crime? Or does that only apply to the rubes like you and me?
"An attack on the world",,,
Well if you consider the corrupt American political establishment, "the world", then I guess she is right. Wait, the American political establishment DOES consider itself so.
US demends transparency of other governments, notably Iran, North Korea or Venezuela maintaining exceptional right to deceive and hide. Confronted, they cry faul and call for prosecution of the messanger. But the problem is much deeper with roots In total ignorance of citiziens in regard to the history, beyond the Civil War. The decades of Soviet style propaganda created a handicap society of self-congratulating weaklings easily manipulated into misplaced “patriotism” by arrogant, well paid “leaders” and their “super-patriotic” whining mouthpieces on both sides of this two-party/one ideology system.
If Julian is detained, or worse, it will be with enthusiastic support of arrogance and ignorace of those who believe in American omni-greatness.
Soviet Union was the Evil Empire; they slaughtered, over few decades, millions of their own. The US is ” the God-chosen” country that, spreading “freedom” , has slaughtered millions of others.
The disclosure of documents will, I hope, raise awareness and solid oposition to the militaristic madness of USG.
As for Julian, stay safe. The World needed you more
than you know!
