WikiLeaks Stuff

So, here's a few thoughts on teh whole WikiLeaks stuff
- A private, one of the lowest possible ranks to have in the US military, copied a quarter of a million documents of secret communications, to a DVD, hand wrote "Lady Gaga" on it and walked out the front gate.
- The private gave the disc to WkiLeaks.
- WikiLeaks announces that they have the documents and then releases a bunch relating to the Afghan War.
- Swedish authorities issue a warrant for Assuange's arrest on sexually related charges.
- WikiLeaks takes a break to semi-organize the documents into batches for later release.
- Swedish authorities dropped the warrant and charges.
- WikiLeaks begins releasing the documents once again.
- Swedish authorities issue warrants for Assuange on sexually related charges. Again.
- Assuange learns of British warrants and turns himself in.
- British authorities hold him without bail while extradition proceedings are brought against him.
- British authorities alter granted bail, with movement restrictions.
- Many nations reporting that they are upset with the US over the WikiLeaks documents.
That's off the top of my head for now. I'll add more as I learn the timeline of Private Manning's arrest and what the US's actual responses have been.
