Delete Function Not
     Implemented
  
  How do you delete it when
   they found and cached it
      forever?
  All that brain spew you spewed into your blog
  might be misunderstood as hate
     for a zillion years?

  It was perposterous.
    The server could go down tomorrow.

  Noone has any thing left to say, anyway,
     so we might as well ban the Internet??

  These troubling questions perpelled me to ask
  even more troubling ones.
    So I turned off the TV and my mind
  and went to bed early.


 
life has no delete feature 
for deeds from the past.  Nor does the
Internet.  Life is forgiving.  The
Internet can be down-right mean.


Work on What has been Spoiled
I was reading through some of the 
Cablegate material and found a part
that seemed like it would put some
folks in danger if the information
listed with were known by those out
in the hinterlands.  I say hinterlands
because I am not going to tell you,
dear readers, about what it was 
specifically that I discovered.
There is a place used by a group that
is doing work in a country fighting
off criminals who have infested the
place.  And they set up shop in a 
secret location in a not-so-secret
public insititution.  No one's name
was attached.  However, the location
was precise and specific.  And the fact
of it being practically a war zone,
well, the location being out in
the public domain is not a good thing.

But there is no way for me to go into
some Wiki editing page, like a Wikipedia,
for the Wikileaks stuff.  I can't go
and redact the information.  This 
information is a serious security 
breech for folks who are trying to do
what is in the public interest.  And,
no, it doesn't involve the United State.
It isn't even our people who are put
in harm's way by this data.  So, if
anyone thinks it is cool to have these
classified documents available to
just anyone . . . I could prove to you
how wrong you are.

It is important that good people read
through these documents and try to find
things that are breeches and then to
warn the folks who are put in danger.
Now that they are out there it is now
work to do . . . to read all this crap.
And it is a lot of stuff!

They need to stop.  They need to stop now
and not release anymore.

Other things I found:  a description of
Anti-Semetic activities in Nicaraqua.
The matter-of-fact description of car-bombings
as a perfered method of drug cartels to
deal with their enemies in a country on the 
Horn of Africa.
Nothing else because it is wearying reading
these.
And, yes, I did search for the name 'Savage',
and even 'Weiner' to try and find something
about the UK do-not-visit list.  But there
was nothing.  Other searches I did to find
what I could find:  'murder'  with many hits.
'Lennon' for John Lennon.  I didn't find any.
'Jesus' becuase Jesus is so cool.
Interesting reference to the place where
John baptised Jesus on the Jordan River.

Here is my suggestion, and I am not
trying to take sides, Wiki-leak trustees,
please stop.  You don't even know who
you might be harming.  The stuff I found
was a serious breech and could result in
very bad things happening to folks 
involved, who provide what used to be a
safe place. Ya, you cut out the names
of folks, but not the place!  Maybe you
didn't actually read it before you 
released it?

Here is my suggestion to everyone else:
Read the cables.  Find out what you
can find out that might cause harm
and then try and warn the folks who
might be in harm's way.
Naturally if you are a Federal Employee,
don't do this because you have been
directed not to do it.  You could be
prosecuted for violating requirements
on Classified information.

Really, I hope that the State Department
is already doing what I suggest.  Wiki-loser
web site (Oh, sorry, Wikileaks) has only
released a small fraction (very small) of
documents.  It would be best if they
release no more.  And all the ones that 
have been released ought to be deemed
'un classified' now so that prudent
Federal workers can read through without
worry of censure and provide warning to
those who are being outted in whatever
thing the cable-leak outs them in.

In the case of the thiung that I found
it wasn't any American, or even folks
working for us.  These were allies.  A 
foreign gov was just showing our diplomat
some of their on-going crime fighting 
activity and the diplomat was describing it.

But it hurts us anyway because these folks
need to be able to trust us.  And now they
can not.  Jullian, you f-in idiot, are
you listening to me?  Of course not.
He has his ears stuffed with cotton.
These people's blood will be on your hands
if you don't stop this foolishness!



 just trying to say it
as I see it.
