The thing is it, although some of the leaks were about the British government, Parliament personal have thick skins. They are used to being dragged through the mire, and let’s face it there isn’t a government in the world that you can’t pick holes in. There were also the remarks about the British Forces in the Helmond Province in 2006; our Generals have said the criticism was correct and the UK forces were not up to scratch. It is the Middle East countries that have been betrayed, and dare I say by the Americans themselves. They wrote the damning reports and sent the gossip that was said in confidence, and ok it should not have been spoken if you don’t want others to know your thoughts. Then this begs belief, the American Embassies send the secret reports back to a main computer and allow three Million American Patriots to have access. In that amount of people there has to be at least one disgruntled, twisted, greedy or traitorous person. This farce lays squarely on the American security services for being complacent in their work.

The whistle blower has I think been arrested and he was a corporal in the forces, but I will stand to being corrected on that if wrong.

I think that is a feeble attempt to ridicule and bring his character into disrepute, but it is the heart of the org they should be attacking not the head.
