Maybe you have outused your G-spot.

No, I think the memo in question is seemingly the work of a competent professional.

Writing down childish gossip in a Memo - competence?
Letting it be read by outsiders - competence?

Your analogies are weaker than a fourth grade anorexic after a 10 meter run. Yes, ALL members of the UN spy on the UN and they spy on other member countries of the UN. Why is this so surprising to you? Are you bonging Salvia, or what?

GRANNY.

You're so thick you couldn't flush you.
It's not about the spying. It's about the US top diplomat telling us the US never does anything illegal.

It's not spying that's amusing. It's being caught.

I think the information was intended to be leaked.

Where is the good stuff? What about depleted uranium and all the serious issues?

Perhaps this was all a setup to find out who takes the bait and put out information they wanted to be released.

This is a whole lot about nothing. It is a laugh that people think this is serious info.

Good point. These files must be stored in other areas.

No, it isn't. The Constitution defines Treason:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.


Leaking the information that some of our diplomats don't think much of the Italian PM is hardly treason and it's hysterical, Whodeyism to suggest it is.

Hysterical Whodeyism seems to be mainstream Republicanism these days:

Mike Huckabee, like Palin a potential Republican presidential candidate, also said the person who leaked the information to Assange should be tried for treason and executed.

What part of "lied" didn't you understand?

I understand the meaning of the word; but it appears that in haste I had scrolled rapidly down the large page and missed the post containing the original reference. I'd only read your subsequent comments on it. Hence my querying something that was actually clearly explained the first time.
