I really don't think they are that organized but I could be wrong. What is all the more likely is they can issue their official protest while rubbing their hands gleefully thinking of the potential political benefits. In this case I think there is little to be gained by this because the approach of blaming the previous administration has worn thin and most people don't care about that aspect.

What many will deplore is the risk this kind of leak represents for our military personnel and allies in Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries in the Middle East. Why would you take a chance supporting us if you think a year or two years from now it will show up on Wikileaks? But I don't subscribe to the idea that it will foment more attacks on us from a motivational standpoint. They are already highly motivated and are doing what they can. It will make the job of our military personnel more dangerous because there will be less cooperation and help.

There is no doubt in my mind whoever released this information engaged in treason. If it is someone in the military and they are discovered they should be tried and if convicted punished in accordance with the uniform code. If they are a civilian they should be tried and if convicted punished under civilian laws.
