Pentagon Going After WikiLeaks


By Brian Altenhofel - Posted on 25 March 2010

It looks like the Pentagon may be going after WikiLeaks.

A small, cash-strapped website that publishes documents governments want kept secret has caught the attention of the Pentagon, which says the site poses a possible threat to US troops.

A report by the US Army Counterintelligence Center says the whistleblower website WikiLeaks poses a potential danger to safeguarding troops, protecting sensitive information, and "operational security."

This just goes to show that you need to be careful who you blow the whistle on.  At least the Constitution covers this under free speech... for now.
