WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says the leak of hundreds of thousands of secret diplomatic documents is an attack not only on the United States but also the international community.
In her first public comments since the weekend release of the classified State Department cables, Clinton said Monday that online whistleblower Wikileaks acted illegally in posting the material. She said the Obama administration was “aggressively pursuing” those responsible for the leak.
She said the leaks erode trust between nations. But Clinton also said she was “confident” that U.S. partnerships would withstand the challenges posed by the latest revelations.

Posted on November 29, 2010 at 4:46pma sad day for America We are worried what another country thinks of us.If we got on our knees and prayed we would not care what the heathen nations thought of the descendants of Jacob or Israel. We need to heal our country ,it is systematically being morally dissected . Our leaders, clergy say peace and there is no peace. We kill our children in the womb and say we’re a God fearing nation.We preach tolerance to Sin.Even though the commandments of God still apply .Our country was founded on them ,but if we continue on the path of iniquity our country will be put into slavery ,what is left after the tribulation begins.Then the mark of the beast or( sunday worship )will be the law of the land .You shall not worship on Saturday the 7th day or the 4th commandment as it will be against the law.the Universal Church will prosecute The true Church as it did from 356 AD to the end of the Spanish Inquisition .This is a warning out of our Bibles we should all heed .God Bless

Posted on November 29, 2010 at 4:12pmAn attack on the “international community”? Exactly who are they? If a picture into reality is an attack on this so-called “international community”… then please excuse me from that community. To me… a National Secret might include a military strategy, patent, sensitive technology, or something along those lines. From what I can tell… these documents include nanny nanny boo boo and suspicions of the intent of other countries. This should not be kept secret, especially when we just conducted the largest ARMS DEAL in history to a country that is supporting and funding Al Qaeda.

Posted on November 29, 2010 at 2:59pmActually these are worse then the leaks during McCarthy’s day because they involve numerous countries.
It is time to bring back the House Sub-Committee on UnAmerican Activities (which pre dated McCarthy’s involvement) back when the group only investigated persons in State and Federal positions for their associations with, and allegiance to, Socialist and Communist factions throughout the world.
McCarthyism was only a problem when they overstepped their bounds and began investigating non State and Federal employees.
It is simple really, you can be a Socialist or Communist all day long as a citizen but if you are, then you have NO PLACE in any level of AMERICAN government.

Posted on November 30, 2010 at 2:09amI am beginning to agree with you. This whole thing is very bizaare. Successful terror attacks (yes, fort hood was a terrorist attack) during Obama’s administration, the refusal to secure our borders while harrassing American citizens with unjustified body checks, accusing Tea party patriots of being terrorists, known and avowed socialists who are anti republic in the white house and in positions of power and authority… and now these leaks with wiki … and, during Hillary’s “watch”.
Hillary is being set up as the “defender” of the united states, which in reality is being set up to run for office in 2012. I for one do not trust her.
This whole thing is too manipulated for comfort. But as stated in a few other posts, this is also a set up for a world wide control of the internet and censorship. There is also a lot of talk by the adminsitration about seeking justice. Will this administration go to the International Courts to seek this so called “justice”… and there by sacrifice our country’s sovereignty to an international law one world order? Wiki is just a tool being used by someone behind the scenes…there is more to this than meets the eye. To go to the international court to seek justice will destroy our sovereignty and usher in the new “one world order” with the United States subject to that Government.

Posted on November 29, 2010 at 2:54pm@The blazers
this just occured to me, first leaks to wikileaks involved the military in Iraq and Afghanistan; then this one today about the diplomatic cables. Anyone want to wager the next set of leaks will just happen to involve matters of economic importance, say with the treasury, the feds, and similar areas of critical importance?
Any nation survival depends upon these pillars of strength…
1. Military strength to deter any and all enemies from attacking.
2. Diplomatic strength to keep enemies at bay, information is power, the pre WWII concept of ‘gentlemen do not read one anothers mail’ got us into that mess.
3. Economic strength. lending stability through the nations people and government.
4. Spiritual strength. Faith and the freedoms of choices. In our case, belief of the Constitution.
So far on the military and Diplomatic pillars we have been smashed via these leaks. The Constitution is under continuous barrage by the Progressives and Socialists, so the last leg to kick out from under us will be the economic strength shortly.
When that goes, the meltdown is final.

I hate to disagree, but when this all shakes out (and it always does), if it’s found that Hillary was the leak source and she did it to gain the Presidency, she’d be politically radioactive.
If she actually *did* get elected, she’d be the first PotUS in history not just impeached, but put before a firing squad for treason.
While the “Democrats are anti-American Commie Pinkos and are evil as all get out” instinct in me begs my rational mind to believe that, there’s no way that a rational, thinking person would use those means to meet that end. She’d be running for the Presidency of a nation she personally virtually guaranteed would be in decline.
It just doesn’t make sense from her. Now, Obozo’c crew… Well, let’s put it this way: It was one of his guys that tipped the hand to “Top down, Bottom up, Inside out.”

Posted on November 29, 2010 at 7:43pmAfter reading some of the reactions on the Blaze today, I have a feeling we may be missing the forest for the trees. Much of what is happening in America does not make logical sense because it is spiritual in nature. Unless we understand how the spirit world works, we will be engulfed by the tidal wave of deception that is sweeping across our country, and I am not referring to the daily dose of Obamalies.
Conditioned behavior or indoctrination does occur in totalitarian regimes, but the bad guys have to be in power to implement it. True, a great deal of brainwashing happens years before a takeover, but the kind of indoctrination and conditioned behavior that took place under Mao and Stalin is not happening in America — yet.
No man can singlehandedly deceive the masses like Mao, Stalin and Hitler did unless they have the spirit of antichrist (not to be confused with the Antichrist himself). These are vessels of evil; men who surrender to and are chosen by the evil one to unleash mass chaos and death in the world.
The only way the spirit of antichrist can operate in a given country or region of the world is if God’s people have been corrupted or rendered useless (the Bible calls it “losing their salt”.) Those of you who have been following Brit Hume’s “The Right All Along” have gotten a fresh insight into the state of the world during the Reagan years. Reagan was a man of destiny. God raised that one man and some powerful allies to stand with him (Thatcher, Pope John Paul II, Lech Walesa and yes, even a key player from the dark side, Gorbachev) to defeat what became another massive demonic onslaught on the world. If not for Reagan and his allies, the NWO would have happened then. As a nation we were not overwhelmed with confusion and fear because the perils were overcome, but it was a parallel situation. We saw an economic crisis, communist imperialism at work around the globe, and the emergence of the Islamic threat.
It seems we have not been so lucky this time. In the natural world we see Obama, an ignorant and unintelligent man, rise to power amidst great lies and deception. So what has changed in the spirit world? Christians fell asleep or went their own way. Nevertheless, God is faithful and He has not forsaken us. He has raised a man to stand for Him and this country that once invoked him in one accord, and he has done in a way that has astonished both left and right alike. But Glenn has come with a different message: clean house, look unto Me and prepare for the worst. It may mean this time salvation will be individual, and we are fast approaching a NWO.
Maranatha, Jesus.
