then, that july, wikileaks released 76,000 classified field reports of u.s. operations in afghanistan that provided a chaotic and bleak ground-level view of the war. a few months later, there were another 400,000 classified documents released from iraq showing that civilian casualties there were much higher than the pentagon had claimed and, finally, in november 2010, thousands of state department cables that lifted the veil on highly sensitive back-room diplomacy. the documents revealed that arab leaders were lobbying the u.s. to attack iran and that the state department had been secretly collecting intelligence on leaders at the united nations. it triggered outcries that assange was a political actor trying to damage the u.s. government. >> are you a subversive? >> i'm sure there are certain views amongst hillary clinton and her lot that we are subverting their authority. but you're right. we are subverting illegitimate authority. the question is whether the authority is legitimate or whether it is illegitimate. >> do you consider the u.s. state department

you said this about wikileaks. right after the revolution and that story was actually resonating about the wikileaks and its role. i always thought wikileaks did a disservice to the state department. the state department comes across as knowing a lot more than people assume and usually professional and people in the region actually saw it that americans were not lying to themselves most of the time about the people they're dealing with, and it was more positive than negative in my opinion. but i want to put you on the spot on the current situation. and that is related primarily to the role of the military. i mean, i was talking about the choices that we faced when you were in the white house, you know, advocating democracy, having to stick to strategic relations that are essential. when you look at what's happening now, obviously the muslim brotherhood did very well in the parliamentary elections. we don't know who is going to be the next president of egypt, but i would submit to you that it's probably going to be

we will have a special report on the iran watchers as revealed by wikileaks. the american soldier accused of murdering 16 civilians in afghanistan has been named as staff sgt robert bales. he has been taken to a maximum detention base in the u.s.. afghan officials have accused the u.s. of failing to cooperate. hamid karzai has met the relatives of those who died. >> the blood of afghans still inside of their bombs. they were killed mostly by a single shot to the head. the gunman, an american soldier, it is believed it. he gathered together their bodies, including children, and burned their bodies. they started with a prayer when the villagers came to the presidential palace. 11 people were killed in one home, said this village elder. they were acting like animals, smashing down doors. president karzai listened and appeared to agree that this was not the work of a single attacker. >> we believe it is not possible for one person to do that. in four rooms, people were killed. they were all brought together in one room and then put on fire. the afghan investigatio

no people were targeted as a result of the wikileaks releases. the fury on capitol hill trying to prosecute manning being due to peoples' political aspirations being inhibited. so if the impact assessment if the report says they were not indeed happening, it makes me wonder where this propaganda is coming from. personally, i think all the markets firms working for federal security contractors are spinning out these talking points about a national security issue. when you come down to it, not a single person has been injured. this is nato talking. in kabul or in iraq based on the releases of these documents. and in exchange, we have had more news and revelations about the deceptive practices of both parties in washington in the last two years we have ever seen. so in my mind, i think the critics should consider the source of their information and study more about the impact assessment. you can find it online. >> what message do you want the world to hear on behalf of your friend and where this is headed? >> we live in very difficult times right no

can you talk of of how that is similar to the wikileaks, -- talked about how that is similar to the wikileaksand how that comes into the espionage act? guest: it is a great question. the most famous episode is not the rainbow plan. there is a great story about how the chicago -- "chicago tribune published that the reason america had won the battle of the midway was because we had broken japanese naval codes. there are a lot of episodes were secrets had been revealed where had they been found out by the wrong people, it could've been damaging to national security. there is a distinction to draw. wikileaks is at a different problem in so far as what they are up to is not posting -- posting documents but individual operations, but they are in the business of massive and undifferentiated disclosures of thousands of government documents with no agenda or intent other than transparency, with the idea that the public should decide which secrets should and should not be kept. i think it is still problematic. some of the disclosures indicate some of the concerns of these historical episodes, but i wou

many said it all changed with wikileaks. i am not a great fan of wikileaks, so i was a little taken aback. they said wikileaks lead to a whole series of cable from the american ambassador in tunis that made it clear that the americans viewed him as an aging autocrat, just like we did. then it became ok for the middle class to shift, to join the people in the streets, and the revolution was over in days. my point is by stanford freedman democracy and standing back and let people fight and win their own freedom, because at the end of the day, they have to, we can nonetheless encourage that process and help empower it. that is cut out and we need to do. >> i went to tunis right after the revolution. wikileaks actually did a service to the state department. the state department comes across as knowing more than people soon. the americans were not lying to themselves most of the time, about the people they are dealing with, and what more positive than negative, in my opinion. i want to put food on the spot on the current situatio

government, the wikileaks incident is still very much on the table. now, to focus on one specific thing, the edited video commented that was released by wikileaks under the title of "collateral damage" and they also released a raw form of that without the comments and longer. now, reuters, and i'm not an expert on this. but the press had been asking for that information for a couple of years with foia in the sx and getting absolutely nowhere. i think they were interested to see this video when it was relea released. i think the perception of the bub public is they had a right to see this video -- in terms of trying to get away from this whack a mole, correct me if i'm wrong but i don't think that under what you've described that if the whole thing were gone through under the current situation that the pentagon would feel they need to release that information to reuters. so therefore i think the public has seen information illicitly released which they think should have been released but wouldn't be released under the current regimen of foia even as yo

but at the same time of course we have had episodes like wikileaks, which reminds us that the need to balance the sharing and security. so we always have that fine line to draw within those two. but i think we have improved, but there's always more to do. >> thank you both. >> can you bear much, senator brown. senator udall. >> mr. chairman, i'd like to yield to mr. mansion. i know he's got a scheduling conflict, but i think to keep my place. >> burgess flip-flopping. >> we appreciate those courtesies. >> thank you, mr. chaiman. i am reading a book called becoming jobs by jim clifton. i would recommend it if y'all haven't seen it. basically the coming jobs will be the biggest war facing this world. who is fighting for jobs and basically breaks it down 7 billion citizens in human beans on this great planet earth. 5 billion over the age of 15, 3 billion seeking a job of some sort. only 1.2 billion for my jobs in the world today. so we can see the mammoth problem we're facing peer but that, what i'm asking is what you can do intelligent past events, do you consider the impact of unemploy

which is again from wikileaks, the saudi king said cut off the head of the -- and the king of bahrain had similarly subtle advice. presumably, they could go out and buy a capability from pakistan, some other place. whether or not they would want to risk buying a full capability or try to assemble all the component parts so the iranians knew too they were a screw driver away, i think that could be a likelihood. hard to predict what the middle east would look like after an israeli strike six months after much less five years after. i don't know how much the region would sort of readjust to normal. if you could call anything in the region normal five years out, when you talk to israeli officials about this, and you say, well, look, you'd only be delaying the capability as general cartwright said, their answer is, well, if we get two or three years, that's two or three years. and if need be we could go back and do it again. a sort of mowing the lawn kind of approach to the issue. i'm doubtful that they actually could do this multiple times. >> right here. >> thank you. just a -- if you co

but then when you read the wikileaks documents, you discover they started working on these stiffer sanctions right away, assuming the diplomacy wouldn't work. there are other things happening to the iranians at increasing paces. there have been five scientists assassinated. it's widely believed no one has proved it's the work of israeli intelligence. maybe it's not. you've seen a missile plant blow up, we've had missile plants blowup here too, so it could have been accidental. but sure raises a lot of suspicions. you saw the computer worm that ended up hitting the iranians and for a while, slowing down their ability to produce. i think this all comes back to the question that general cartwright raises, which is when the iranians see this. does it redouble their determination to move out ahead. or does it make them think that this isn't worth it? i haven't seen any evidence yet that it's really slowed their programming. you just grab the amount of uranium enrichment activity that we know about. it has some ups and downs. fundamentally it's on a pretty steady up. >> let me just ask you, whethe

a good way to think about this would be if you look back on wikileaks and what followed, it turned out they were hosting on amazon, and when amazon pulled that, anonymous launched an attack on a bunch of different web sites. everybody who was running their own data center was down in a heartbeat. so statement one -- if you are running your own thing, you will be taken out much more easily than if you are running as part of a much larger aggregated whole world that provider can defend the property much more rigorously. and goodness me, they care about defending it. but more importantly, through automation, you get to get an assurance that data is less accessible. so people will say to me that if they build a private cloud and surround it with people, they are much more secure. that is patently false because people tripped over cables and things fail. but people also have usb cheese and walk off with your data, and this is highly known. again, the data should never have been there and the guy should not have been able to download it. that is a human problem. a failure human systems. ther
