A Bit More On The Wikileaks Mess

The soldier who was supposed to have downloaded and copied all those 250,000 files?

They say he downloaded them to a Lady Ga-Ga CD.

????

Bradley Manning, the U.S. soldier that has admitted releasing the flies, said:

I would come in with music on a CD-RW labelled with something like 'Lady Gaga' … erase the music … then write a compressed split file. No one suspected a thing ...

Ever try to copy a file to a pre recorded CD? The initial information on the CD - in this case, the Lady Ga-Ga stuff - cannot be "erased" and replaced. It is burned into the disc by a laser.

Says Nate over at Vox Popoli:

... anyone who's ever had any contact with US secrecy knows the official story on the leaks is complete BS. Anyone accessing a file that their name is not directly associated with gets flagged. Clearance be damned. If the system only worked 1% of the time... it still would've thrown up 250 flags on this cat, and the wrath of the prince of darkness himself would've come down.

Remember the modus operandi of the CIA and NSA is to be under-estimated. They want everyone thinking they're stupid and incompetent. It makes their job easier. This wasn't "leaked". It was deliberately given out... either by the US, or a US rival.

So... The official story stinks on ice.

Who really released all those files?

The person most damaged by the leaks is Hillary Clinton, who - shortly after the information was released - announced that her political career would end with her present job. She is certainly correct about that... Her political career is now over.

Who is/was most worried about her running for president?

Good old Barry and his gang of unelected Czars in the White House.

I disagree about a CD-RW.
CD-RW means Compact Disc-ReWritable.
They are erasable, which allows a completely new burn with new data.
