The CIA really isn't what it used to be, is it?

...or is it?

Personally, I've been rather suspicious of wikileaks for that exact reason.

Umm perhaps it was the CIA effort itself or part of the government which wants to put a justification to end the war in Iraq. Who knows.

Obviously these documents would serve to help to put an early US retirement from Iraq.

If something is too easy you can be sure it was made easy.

There are currently no combat troops in Iraq if I recall correctly. Just advisers.

How do you know this? What's wrong with being anti-government.

This is not a file from wikileaks, but a similar "leaking" website:

the original(translated by myself):
Quote:
Therefore, we could disable large amount of illegal websites within a short period of time. This could drastically reduce the amount of illegal websites and illegal internet activities. Especially child p*rnography distribution. With cooperation from law enforcement agencies, internet pedophilia cases could be reduced by up to 90%.

the "leaked version"
Quote:
Therefore, we could disable large amount of p*litically undesirable websites within a short period of time. This could drastically reduce the amount of p*litical activists on the internet, increasing ruling party support. With cooperation from law enforcement agencies, the number of p*litical d*ssenters could be reduced by up to 90%.
wow, just wow

So you are taking what you say is an article from a site which isn't the one in question, delivering your translations of versions which you claim it posted and altered then looping your version of some unrelated line from some unrelated site back to something it has nothing to do with
