Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies -
Transparency and Open Government
My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government. We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government.
OMGI just watched this guy this morning 12/17 & he apparently graduated with a B.S. in Communication. Does he know that I'm hearing all of the wikileaks on the nightly news.They even show me maps of the best worldwide terrorist targets! He was bragging how well the Afgan war is going today? The terrorists are now in Yemen/Somalia. Bush's debacle is a waste of time/lives. Ignorant poor goat herders with a very corrupt leader.Will 'treasonous' Assange get a pardon like Scooter Libby porn author?
Patrick Bateman in the flesh! Any institution, governmental or private, that can be destroyed by THE TRUTH, deserves to be destroyed. This applies to this corrupt and evil Pentagon. It is refreshing to see it with it´s back against the wall. Not from their own weapons of terror, but by the simple TRUTH!!!!
why make a big issue when Sir Julian assanger is a liar , so when is a lair she do stupid thing internacional in front of the whole world. isn t this not stranger?? why want U.S. want fals mislead 2:24 documents back.? listend there the words he said. when Assanger is a lair . where is the problem??? everbody know thats he is crazy . so U.S. WHY ARE YOU SCARED u.s. people FOR LIES !!!!!!!BECAUSE THE DOCUMENTS ARE TRUTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHH......
There are good news. I heared Osama bin Laden and Mullah Muhammad Omar just died yesterday. They died of laughter when they were reading the recent release of wikileaks US diplomats secret files. This is good news.
Documents are property of free people who living in country not government ... but true... is usa, documents are property of government, because people there are just sheeps....
DIOS VENDIGA A wikileaks POR REVELAR UNA PEQUEÑA PARTE DE SECRETOS DEL PENTAGONO!!! EL GOBIERNO DE LOS EEUU TIENEN EL ALMA NEGRA, ESTAN AMBRIENTOS DE PODER QUE SE SUPO QUE IMVESTIGAN A SUS PROPIOS ALIADOS!!!
What a terrible cowardly act, that will put thousands at risk and years of diplomatic negotiations down the drain. People don’t need to know everything, if you do get into politics like the rest of them or shut the fuck up and keep your head in the sand. This will have a terrible ripple effect that will harm the international community and its already strained relationships. They should throw that Australian piece of shit in Guantanamo with the rest of them .
@magicx3434 : Cattle doesn't have to know everything. People do.
I know that you, as an American, consider whole the rest of the world as cattle, which you can abuse and kill as you like - but we are not cattle, and we do not need you as our shepard.
The only terrorists world should be concerned about are - US governmant, and US army.
@jeboshifru Ya nice try you third world cunt I am Canadian. Being American has nothing to do with using your head and not exposing a country. Ya where is Mr. Wiki leaks now? oh thats right up on rape charges and hiding out. Shut your mouth and go read a book asshole. If this shit was pulled in any other country he would be dead by now. Go smoke some weed and have a circle jerk while the rest of the world works
@magicx3434 : Than you're stupid canadian. Who cares. Mr. Wikileaks is hiding because american govenrmant wants to kill him. Since when having conventional sex without condom equals raping? :lol: You fear of truth exposed? Oh, I'm glad. Be very, very affraid - 'cause nothing can stop the truth now.
What's inappropriate is that whatever psychosis afflicts this man is projected on the people of the world. The only acceptable course forward is that war crimes prison smack the smug out of this degenerate killer.
THIS IS THE FACE OF THE US GOVERNMENT- THE WORLD DOESNT HAVE A CHANCE...INFORMATION SHOULD NOT BE SECRET THAT IS A THREAT TO THE WORLD. EVERYBODY WITH AN EAR AND EYES KNOW USA IS A CURRUPT SYSTEM RUN BY THE BANK.

Had the Pentagon taken Wikileaks up on its offer..it..they..would have blacked-out almost every line on every page..and in doing so would have drawn attention to the info they want most to keep hidden...and you can bet most of that info would not have had anything at all to do with the bullshit they are claiming to be concerned about now.
Of course the Feds declined the opportunity to help Wikileaks redact content included among the released files which could jeopardize people and things they'd like to keep hidden...In public they say they are concerned about Afghani collaborators being revealed..but in fact they care only about controlling every particle of information that is at odds with the propaganda they've been generating since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were begun by the U.S....
LOL. What an idiot. We want these documents back...but we don't know what they have. Also, I like it when he says "nothing is missing". I mean, this is the best the Pentagon has. So sad.
Everyone in the Whole Wide World has coppied Wikileaks ! OMGOD are these ppl Stupid or WHAT ? Ned and the First Readers ... still green what is this a bunch or dumb asses runing our country a Joke on USA ! The Joke started when Ronald Alzhiemers Reagan was elected with Alzhiemers ! gave all our Jobs to CHINA thru Walmart and closed down 33 shoe factories in Boston which made thousands of homeless who ended up at the camp grounds bc they lost their apartments and homes !
hey how about you "do the right thing" and delete all that kiddie porn from your pentagon computers? i mean, we know that at least 264 people were purchasing it, only 52 of those were ever investigated, and only 10 were ever charged. the pentagon said it was b/c of a "lack of resources." i guess they are too busy trying to figure out what to do about julian assange.
newsflash: information can no longer be stopped. the establishment is screwed.
00:46 "Wikileaks has asked for help in reviewing the documents"
01:31 "Threaten the safety of our troops, allys, citizens"
05:05 "Don't know for sure which documents they are referring to"
How can he make such a judgement as to state the severity of the threat if they have not yet reviewed the documents?
The only reason why they would refuse to review the documents is because it would harm them politically more than it could ever harm anyone they refer to.
Stupid lying cock sucker. Hey how about this Feds. How about you do the rite thing and withdraw our troops from an illegal war and how about you do the rite thing and restore our country's freedom and rights, and how about you do the rite thing and prosecute the bankers that have pillaged this wonderful country, I could go on and on about dong the rite thing. You have no business asking someone to do the "rite" thing until you your self do the rite thing!!!
Further, the premise that the troops are being put in vulnerable positions is completely flawed. They are in a state of war. That is the nature of being troops. So this stance seems to be a bluff. To display the public perception of the U.S. government as a state of authority and to show Wikileaks as a rouge criminal internet news source. To devalue their credibility. The credibility lies in the actual information. The Pentagon is only confirming it's credibility.
Hey fella. Your definition of "the right thing" is not necessarily my definition of "the right thing." What we have here is a failure to communicate among the different branches of the English language. The version called English-US Gov't language includes a lot of schoolmaster, teacher-preacher, self important phrases dealing in absolutes. It makes one instinctively feel engaging in the opposite action is the wiser choice.
American individuals like me have had our country attacked, our economy ruined and our rights trampled by this "Government" machine. We want a return on our investment.
"if doing the right thing is not good enough for them, we will look at what alternatives we have to compel them into doing the right thing". this guy is a menance. if they had been doing the right thing, then there would be nothing to be leaked.
Your remarks on the copyright status are a bit misleading. If you make a video of a government statement, the work is not in the public domain, it is *your* video. C-Span is not a US government entity, therefor this video is not in the public domain just because it is recording a pentagon spokesperson's statement.
@MathiasSchindler He wasn't talking about the video Martha. he was addressing the property rights of the now public information of which the government is claiming a non existent property right. It is now public widely accessed information. They cannot deem ownership of it or any other leaked news story.
Geoff is a propagandist. He should speak to Vladimir Pozner and learn how to leave his disgusting post with at least SOME dignity. As an aside, any action taken by these sickening fascists would NOT have been done in the name of the American people, but by this arrogant elite class from our military-industrial complex. Americans I know, almost to a man, stand with WIKILEAKS, not this effete disgrace at the podium.
Their primary concern is that WikiLeaks is beyond their bounds of control & that WikiLeaks is garnering a massive amount of popular support as their profile expands worldwide.
13:30 just listen to this piece of crap belittle the people asking him questions. Makes me sick. This guy needs to be slapped, along with all the liars in this corrupt government. And the level of hypocracy....unreal
One thing I have NOT heard from the whitehouse since this story broke..." We are sorry that we have killed so many civilians we will stop that," Lets not argue or point fingers about who leaked what and who owns the digital media. What is contained in that media is the real story: The US forces have failed in their duty of care to the Afghan people and are indiscriminately killing innocents .
@american government, preserve your society not your institution, information should be free from your bs counter productive legislation!
