Douchebag to release more war data

What information that has been released so far has endangered anyone's life? It seems to me like a lot of what they're releasing are documents from years ago, though I admit I haven't read through everything.
The last one about Afghanistan led to the death of several allied Afghans. This guy acts all high and mighty and uses military jargon but at the end of the day he's a douche-perv. If not hanged for disclosing secret information, he should be hanged for looking like a hermaphrodite.

That's pretty vague. Not saying that it did/didn't happen, but can you be more specific?

I take it thats your kinda thing as I have no idea what a hermaphrodite looks like.
So is he a perv for looking like a hermaphrodite or are you even more a perv for knowing what one looks like just from some pictures?

That's not what the DoD or NATO has said to this point, so unless you have specific evidence to the contrary, I'm probably going to go with the two organizations that would be all over this guy if he had released things that put soldiers in any immediate danger.

Can you tell if he's a man? Can you tell if he's a douche? Can you tell if he's a perv?

Answers: No. Yes. Yes.
 
Same guy was mentioned in the Newsweek article:

In recent days, the Taliban has demonstrated how seriously those threats should be considered. Late last week, just four days after the documents were published, death threats began arriving at the homes of key tribal elders in southern Afghanistan. And over the weekend one tribal elder, Khalifa Abdullah, who the Taliban believed had been in close contact with the Americans, was taken from his home in Monar village, in Kandahar province’s embattled Arghandab district, and executed by insurgent gunmen.
 
Until it's reported in the English language it must not be true, right? The release of data happened over two months ago and there have been many unconfirmed deaths related to those leaks.

Look, it'd probably be better if Wikileaks censored names, because I don't think that what they're doing should be directed at any individuals, but they aren't exactly releasing information that is immediately pertinent to the war today.

Just focusing on what's important here.

Did you read the statements from the DoD themselves? Do you need me to read it to you, little man?

Well, if people took the time to read Pakistani papers they'd see the war from another pov. American media has the attention span of a gnat. They will follow stories like these until they die down. But the Taliban have a knack for carrying out their threats and those named are being hunted. Unfortunately, the hunted most likely do not have internet access and they'll find out they've been exposed only by the hunters relaying their "crimes" before death.

I read that article. It said the latter was dated from the middle of August and we're in the middle of October. Furthermore, the Pentagon won't be going around admitting its spies are getting killed. That would be an even bigger story that can easily reach Pakistan and Afghanistan and cause the few people who are to stop cooperating, making this dangerous war even worse.

(Its a shame that America has been pussified and isn't doing what it needs to be doing to protect its national interests)

In other words, you have nothing.
 
Has it really come down to killing people who say things you disagree with ? It is a very sad time in our country...
 
It's not that he's disliked, it's that he's endangering the lives of US troops and informants in Afghanistan.

Well, first off, the OP wants him dead for "crimes", when no one has indicted (let alone convicted) him. Hmmm....

Second, what proof do you have? The SecDef says they didn't.

"The initial assessment in no way discounts the risk to national security," Gates wrote. "However, the review to date has not revealed any sensitive intelligence sources and methods compromised by the disclosure."

So where is the alleged crime? Or is the OP and others just frothing at the mouth because some "dirty laundry" has been aired, and they don't like hearing bad things about the US, preferring to think everything we do is all noble and good?

And anyway, we didn't execute (actual charged and convicted of various crimes) US military personnel in the 70-80's, when several people passed to military secrets (real secrets) to the USSR. Why should we kill this guy now?

What does the OP and the others that wish summary execution have to say about this?
