Paranoid stuff below the fold

The "Wikileaks" expose is, of course, a leftist plot to weaken the US but that didn't stop the major media from grabbing it up.

Ironically, by making it out that Obama is the "bad guy", it might help his image in the US, refuting charges he is too weak.

On the other hand, the usually thoughtful CSMonitor notes a lot of the leaks involve
underreported threats by American enemies.

“The cables name countries involved in financing terror groups, and describe a near ‘environmental disaster’ last year over a rogue shipment of enriched uranium,” reports the Guardian. ...
According to the New York Times, the cables include: “A dangerous standoff with Pakistan over nuclear fuel … gaming out an eventual collapse of North Korea … bargaining to empty the Guantánamo Bay prison … suspicions of corruption in the Afghan government … and a global computer hacking effort” directed by the Chinese Politburo.

of course none of this is news to anyone who follows the gossip sites.

My problem is that the leak is one sided...and it makes one wonder what the Chinese version of a wikileak would reveal about bribing corrupt governments in South and SE Asia...

As to that "terrorist plot" to blow up Portland, I write on BNN that the scenerio of entrapping a naive but angry kid might sound familiar to certain rednecks.
