A German
news magazine reports: “On the whole, the [leaked documents] from the Middle East expose
the superpower's weaknesses.”
In short, that is an accurate
statement. A nation that cannot keep secrets is not secure. But that’s not the
concerning part. What’s most alarming is that our leadership not only faced
this problem in the past, but seems content in doing nothing but allow the
United States to continue to be embarrassed.
White House
Press Secretary Robert Gibbs reacted to the WikiLeaks controversy today by
saying the While House, “…is, and it is an understatement, not pleased with this information
becoming public".
That scathing
retort is the White House’s retaliation? Good grief. When someone forgets to
put onions on your burger, you are “not pleased.” When someone releases highly
classified documents that put national security in jeopardy, heads are supposed
to roll - but not in this White House, apparently.
To coincide
with this recent controversy, we’ve put up a new poll. To respond to the poll, click here.
