10-11-28 Wikileaks - The Source - Hanley Manning // Wikileaks - La Fuente - Hanely Manning

Bradley Manning
Pfc. Bradley Manning is reported as the source in leaking of diplomatic cables and other classified documents to WikiLeaks.
Soldado Bradley Manning se reporta como la fuente de filtración de los cables diplomáticos y otros documentos clasificados a Wikileaks.
President Obama supports responsible, accountable, and open government at home and around the world, but this reckless and dangerous action runs counter to that goal,” the statement said. “By releasing stolen and classified documents, WikiLeaks has put at risk not only the cause of human rights but also the lives and work of these individuals.”


"El presidente Obama apoya el gobierno responsable, consecuente y abierta en el país y en todo el mundo, pero esta acción imprudente y peligroso va en contra de ese objetivo", dijo el comunicado. "Por la liberación de documentos robados y clasificados, Wikileaks ha puesto en riesgo no sólo la causa de los derechos humanos, sino también la vida y el trabajo de estas personas."
Human Rights Highlights:
¶ Bargaining to empty the Guantánamo Bay prison: When American diplomats pressed other countries to resettle detainees, they became reluctant players in a State Department version of “Let’s Make a Deal.” Slovenia was told to take a prisoner if it wanted to meet with President Obama, while the island nation of Kiribati was offered incentives worth millions of dollars to take in Chinese Muslim detainees, cables from diplomats recounted. The Americans, meanwhile, suggested that accepting more prisoners would be “a low-cost way for Belgium to attain prominence in Europe.”

¶ Clashes with Europe over human rights: American officials sharply warned Germany in 2007 not to enforce arrest warrants for Central Intelligence Agency officers involved in a bungled operation in which an innocent German citizen with the same name as a suspected militant was mistakenly kidnapped and held for months in Afghanistan. A senior American diplomat told a German official “that our intention was not to threaten Germany, but rather to urge that the German government weigh carefully at every step of the way the implications for relations with the U.S.”
¶ Saudi King: US Should Plant Chips in Gitmo Detainees.

By Full US Embassy Cable
The King, proposed implanting detainees with an electronic chip containing information about them and allowing their movements to be tracked with Bluetooth. This was done with horses and falcons, the King said.
