P.J. Crowley - WikiLeaks, one year later.

Wikileaks recently released 250,000 unedited U.S. diplomatic cables, creating yet another internet and diplomaticsensation of enormous consequence to U.S. military members, diplomats, Foreign Service professionals, and the media. Philip J. (PJ) Crowley, will present "Wikileaks: One Year Later," at Penn State Law in Carlisle on October 25.

"We can do more to improve transparency so that government is fully accountable to an informed citizenry. But fewer secrets does not mean no secrets. And the wholesale release of 250,000 documents, many rightly classified, has done damage to the U.S. national interest," according to Crowley. He added that, "We have to learn and apply the right lessons as we work through the implications of the convergence of policy, information and technology represented by WikiLeaks." Crowley's talk will focus on the national security, diplomatic, and media impacts of WikiLeaks. He is the 2011-2012 General Omar N. Bradley Chair of Strategic Leadership, a joint effort among Penn State, Center for Global Studies, Dickinson College, and the U.S. Army War College to promote the exploration of leadership issues and military-civilian interaction. He teaches at all three institutions.
Crowley's research and teaching interests focus on national security policy, public diplomacy, and the impact of the global media environment on conflict, policy, and politics. President Barack Obama nominated, and the United States Senate confirmed, Crowley to be Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs in the U.S. Department of State in 2009. He held that position until March 2011 when he resigned from the State Department after criticizing the Administration's treatment of Pfc. Bradley Manning, the person who allegedly passed restricted information to Wikileaks.

Uneducated, uninformed is what comes to my mind seeing Mr.Crowley's prepared speech.

Its not Wikilks that published un-redacted cables. It was the Guardian who forced them. You seem to praise Guardian instead. Cables showed so many atrocities by the USG and the big companies, including oil, fabrics and lumber (Amazon mahogany). The only cable that caught your attention was Gaddafi's Ukranian nurse. Shows your interests! You should be surfing porn instead of cables

Get your facts right, get life!

No one is tracking what you are reading? Thats bs. Why then, do they have access to Facebook, Twitter Google, yada, yada, yada...Twitter was kind enough to go public about the feds wanting unwarranted access to specific users on Twitter. Its real, and it happens. Think it doesn't, then you are naive.

SCREW PJ Crowley. Maybe he should have spoken about the wisdom of the US government behaving in a upright and honorable way. Assange is a hero.

@InstantUsername can you ellaborate? You are saying there is a need to consider context?

Isn't Penn State the pedo school?

"Openness" as such is a nonsensical concept by itself, the same way "process", "values" or "balance" are.
