Having just watched Channel 4's Dispatches chilling programme on the Wikileaks revelations it is useful to see what an official Pentagon mouthpiece says on the issue.
"This is an extraordinary disservice to America’s men and women in uniform," according to Pentagon press secretary, Geoff Morrell.
"More than 150,000 forces in Iraq and Afghanistan are already in considerable danger," he said. “That danger is now exponentially multiplied as a result of this leak because it gives our enemies the wherewithal to look for vulnerabilities in how we operate and to exploit those opportunities and potentially kill our forces. That is just shameful.”
Interesting use of the word 'shameful' by an American stooge. As well as being such a stupid thing to say it is deeply shameless.
To shoot innocent civilians in their hundreds, collude with torture, cover up hundreds of civil rights abuses, bomb and murder children, create an effective Al Qaida network where none previously existed, spawn thousands upon thousands of insurgents and jihadis, jeopardise security and safety in participating countries, to promote the repugnant Ahmedinijad into some sort of heroic leader figure, to ally our nation with the vicious Israeli regime, to blacken the name of all those engaged in the enterprise around the world, to lower the standing of the invading countries, to not even count the number of Iraqi dead, to not prosecute those responsible for this unholy mess.
Now that really is shameful.
