Open topic Midrats

Open topic, open lines, free for all. Join EagleOne and me today at 5pm EST for a discussion of all things Navy, USMC, Coast Guard, or merchant marine.

In addition, we will probably touch on Afghanistan, Long War, history, strategy, shipbuilding, national security or any topic that comes to mind. We'll have open phones and will be pulling topics you identify in the chat room. If you've wanted to get a word in edge-wise, here is your chance.


Join us live if you can, and pile in with the usual suspects in the chat room during the show where you can offer your own questions and observations to our guest. If you miss the show or want to catch up on the shows you missed - you can always reach the archives at blogtalkradio - or set yourself to get the podcast on iTunes.

how about the government threatening its own folks over reading wikileaks.  This makes me giggle.   once again, the Obama administration's response to an attack on America is to punish the american people.  sigh.  No rendition protocol for Asange, no cyber attack permanently destroying the information, neigh.  We'll pound our own people.  Reminds me of TSA strip searches and crotch grabs post underwear bomber.

Salty, imagine what the media would do to Bush should he do the same :P
Other than that, this sets up the US along China who blocked wikileaks to the inhabitants of the "great firewall".
What is more, there is the amount of things kept with "secret" label simply because it is no way to be PC and talk about them openly at the same time...

ewok, perish the thought.  it is illegal to falsely classify something as SECRET just to limit distribution...that is why we have "distribution statements" i.e. Distro A, B, C, D, E, F; limitations (NOFORN, LE SENSITIVE) and "handling statements" i.e. FOUO...

Dude...the exact same thing would've happened if this had broken in '07.

I think it's stupid too (particularly for the diplomatic cables that weren't even technically classified information to begin with) but this isn't an Obama thing.
