    I have absolutely no respect or sympathy for anyone who compromises our national security interests or puts our troops in harms way.

    What exactly did he do? I heard he put thousands of classified military documents on the site but I have no idea what they were about.

    Well the WikiFounder recieved 97,000+ classified pages of information relating to the Afganistan war and posted it online. They believe he received the information from an Army private who worked in intelligence. The army guy has been arrested and is being held at a military base in the Middle East awaiting a military trial.

    From what I heard, there was nothing that important or dangerous in the docs.

    He just exposed our govt which had no right to go to Afghanistan or Iraq. Thousands of lives lost at the hands of our govt, which was/is funded by us. :(


    Guy should move to Canada or some place in western Europe, it's getting dangerous if you show you're against the govt here in the states.
