#2Fascinating. The document states that "Several foreign countries including China, Israel, North Kora, Russia, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe have denounced or blocked access to the Wikileaks.org website."
Whoever wants to put the US on that list is no patriot.

Didn't realize they were limiting the information they release because of monetary concerns. Definitely a worthy cause to donate to.

#6Instead of treating WikiLeaks like a threat, why not use it as a tool for feeding misinformation to specific targets?

There are enough channels for that already, I guess. It doesn't mean that WikiLeaks doesn't get disinformation though, in fact this whole topic might be a cover for exactly that.
Disinformation channels also need to be highly controlled and centralized (i.e. US media companies like News Corp, GE or Twitter :P), which WikiLeaks is not.

#9The actual content of the report does not support the conclusion in the headline and description. The entire extent of the supposed "plan" is the obvious suggestion, in passing, that finding people who leak sensitive information would deter others from leaking sensitive information.
So what's the story here? That U.S. military intelligence knew, in March 2008, that Wikileaks was posting classified information that presumably had inside sources, and that this might be threat to OPSEC/INFOSEC, and that shockingly someone who works in "cyber counterintelligence assessment", wrote a report about it. Utterly mundane.

I meant to the last time I heard about the appeal but then promptly neglected to. Thanks for the reminder... done.
