i will try to enjoy my breakfast, but this is all very unsettling, and may I add scary.

I think I'll be enjoying my breakfast a little more than Hillary and Barack. Yet another Obama bonus: Never before has an administration LOST so many classified government documents. Pathetic. And yes, scary.

Hmm... I find this one interesting... "Reports that the King of Bahrain and King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia urged the Americans to take military action to halt Iran's nuclear programme."

Thanks for that nice detailed list. I haven't had time to really study what's been released yet. Your list demonstrates that we humans aren't nearly as sophisticated and evolved as we like to pretend. Maybe we'll nuke or pollute ourselves out of existence. Seems quite likely with the way things are going. As for Wikileaks, maybe our "leaders" all need to get their games exposed. They've secretly bargained our lives and fortunes away for far too long. Go Julian! Doesn't sound to me like lives will be lost for that -- just a bit of politician dignity will be lost is all, and that's a good thing. Not worried about breakfast as I haven't even gotten to bed yet. @@

Yea, I do enjoy actually my breakfast. Politicians have avoided introduction of new mechanisms of responsibility for their international actions. Everything continued to be covered with dark veil of 'state secrecy' which allowed them decide the questions of war and peace without ANY control of their constituency. The system has not been reformed and we paid THOUSANDS of lives of young boys in uniformed killed in Iraq and Afghan - two wars started by governments of democratic countries just at the snap of fingers without a bit of sanction on the part of peoples that elected them. No the DARE give some cynical nonsense about the ' weakileaks putting in jeopardy lifes'!! So once there are no direct control over those games on the part of governments provided by the existing democratic systems, the Internet and good will of free global community came to the assistance. I do think that the founder of the Weakileak is more worthy of the Nobel Price than Obama (although I am a great fan of this president and persona)
