Re: Wikileaks - Exposing Dark Side of Afghan War said by Link Logger:Lets be honest, nobody gives a crap about Afghanistan May be companies like Halliburton or Blackwater Worldwide making huge money in Iraq and Afghanistan. They're making money - we're getting new enemies in the process. Then they are making even more money, and we ... It's a spiral process.

Re: Wikileaks - Exposing Dark Side of Afghan War said by SUMware:The Congress didn't. There is no officially declared war. Why doesn't Congress officially declare war? They sign off on the bills etc and everyone else on the planet knows its a war so why don't they just formalize it and make it official?

Re: Wikileaks - Exposing Dark Side of Afghan War Good idea I will.

Anyone else have an opinion or comment concerning this question?

Excerpts from The Wall Street Journal
July 26, 2010 - quote:
Military Leaks: SIPRNet Under Scrutiny
Military and intelligence experts who reviewed the leaked materials that showed up on WikiLeaks told The Wall Street Journal that the kind of information posted—brief incident reports that often read like items in a police blotter—suggested that it had been culled from the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network, also known as SIPRNet*.
SIPRNet handles information classed up to the level of “secret”—a basic level of classification that does not include the most sensitive intelligence information, classed as “top-secret” or “sensitive compartmented information.” A firewall keeps SIPRNet separate from networks used to disseminate top-secret, high-level intelligence.
A former intelligence official said SIPRNet was primarily used for handling the “day-to-day business” of military operations in Afghanistan. “It’s used for things like the common operational picture, putting out daily operational orders and all those things,” he said. “It is not the primary vehicle for intelligence.”
The former official added that information passed over the network was sensitive, as it covers everything from orders to move troops to the status of supplies. Much of the information, he added, has a very short shelf life—and may no longer be relevant after a specific operation is over.
Speculation has centered on how, exactly, the information was passed from a classified network to the World Wide Web.
[some emphasis added]
* The Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet) is a system of interconnected computer networks used by the United States Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of State to transmit classified information (up to and including information classified SECRET) via the TCP/IP protocol suite in a secured environment. It also provides services such as hypertext document access and electronic mail. As such, SIPRNet is the DoD’s classified version of the civilian Internet together with its counterpart, the TOP SECRET and SCI Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System, JWICS. The NIPRNet is used for unclassified information. |

Re: Wikileaks - Exposing Dark Side of Afghan War A little research and an answer:
Congress already agreed to this war when they voted in favor of "Authorization for the Use of Military Force against Terrorists", so war on without need of Congress 'officially' declaring war as all that is needed is for the President to decide (and before the left/right get their knickers in a knot, check the vote as it was pretty much unanimous).
from »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authorizat···rrorists
quote:
The authorization granted the President the authority to use all "necessary and appropriate force" against those whom he determined "planned, authorized, committed or aided" the September 11th attacks, or who harbored said persons or groups
So Congress made themselves a non-player in the matter of officially declaring war.
