They must be kept from the public for a reason, and must be heavily guarded, and yet WikiLeaks seemingly acquire these. Hmm...
...And he made copies of all these documents.The Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet) is "a system of interconnected computer networks used by the United States Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of State to transmit classified information (up to and including information classified SECRET) by packet switching over the TCP/IP protocols in a 'completely secure' environment".[1] It also provides services such as hypertext document access and electronic mail. As such, SIPRNet is the DoDs classified version of the civilian Internet.
Wikileaks gets it from your traitor... but I guess they say they get it anonymously? I'm just surprised they have not been brought to book by the countless laws that exist on protecting state secrets.Currently...The understanding is that we have a traitor named PFC Bradley Manning who has access to...

Our mistake is that we made SIPRNet too accessible to anyone who has SECRET level and above with -- apparently -- no 'need to know' caveat, meaning even if a person has not a need to know what SecState Hillary Clinton said to so-and-so diplomat, he gets to see that communique anyway. It is badly embarrassing to US but not as much a disaster to foreign policies as many would like to believe. It will require time and changes in leaderships of both the US and in other countries for all sides to create new and better secured relationship.
So am I. The Obama Administration has bungled this big time and will lead the American public towards making Obama a single termer.Wikileaks gets it from your traitor... but I guess they say they get it anonymously? I'm just surprised they have not been brought to book by the countless laws that exist on protecting state secrets.

Among all the cables obtained by the WikiLeaks, there are
8,320 memos on China
7,095 memos on Afghanistan
5,087 memos on India
3,166 memos on Sri Lanka
4,775 memos on Pakistan
2,182 memos on Bangladesh
So China, India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh & Afghanistan remain the key to future foreign policy interests of USA regarding Asia
Errr...The man swore an oath in front of his nation's flag and in front of other soldiers. Any act that goes against the laws that he swore to obey, even if he does not agree with any or all of them, qualify him to that label. Would you apply the same defense to a Pakistani national who reveals Pakistan's nuclear secrets in the name of freedom?It's funny how you call the Army guy "Traitor"
They did all this stuff in the belief of freedom. They though this kind of information is too dangerous to go un-noticed and is kinda unfair.
You think the US is unique in this? You are more naive than I thought.I mean, why would USA have backstabbing views of other Nations? Why?
There is a chain of command in Army, whatever his belief is, the official US constitution allows the agencies to keep state secrets, then they can keep state secrets.It's funny how you call the Army guy "Traitor"
