US ‘desperately’ trying to keep Wikileaks from publishing US communications about Arab states

Philip Shenon, a former New York Times reporter now writing for Tina Brown’s The Daily Beast, alleged late Thursday that the Pentagon is “desperately” searching for the founder of the whistleblower website Wikileaks, out of concern he is about to publish classified US State Department cables.

Curiously, the piece cites an American diplomat as saying their chief concern is the leak of communications “prepared by diplomats and State Department officials throughout the Middle East, regarding the workings of Arab governments and their leaders.”

The concern over US communications about Arab governments seems slightly surprising in lieu of the fact the cables also “contained information related to American diplomatic and intelligence efforts in the war zones in Afghanistan and Iraq,” which would, in theory, be of greater concern to Pentagon bosses running US war efforts.

Authorities are said to be seeking Wikilieaks founder Julian Assange, who allegedly came into possession of secret US cables after they were leaked by a 22-year-old Army intelligence officer. The Army specialist, Bradley Manning, was recently arrested and is being held in Kuwait.

Manning reportedly told authorities that he’d leaked reams of State Department communiques.

“Hillary Clinton and several thousand diplomats around the world are going to have a heart attack when they wake up one morning and find an entire repository of classified foreign policy is available,” the 22-year-old Army specialist wrote of the cables, according to a story published at Wired.com.

Wikileaks responded to Manning’s claim on Twitter, saying that reports that “we have been sent 260,000 classified U.S. embassy cables are, as far as we can tell, incorrect.”

Regardless, Shenon says that US government officials believe Assange is in possession of at least some secret State Department cables.

“It looks like they’re playing some sort of semantic games,” one US official purportedly told Shenon. “They may not have 260,000 cables, but they’ve probably got enough cables to make trouble.”

It’s unclear what US authorities could do to prevent the secretive Wikileaks founder from publishing classified US documents, since the website is based on servers in Sweden, a country that has traditionally looked favorably on whistleblower claims.

Shenon’s full story on the Pentagon’s hunt for Assange can be read here.

    I absolutely love that people are opening their eyes to this. I know I was not put on this planet to be what I am treated like. It is not natural. I am tired of giant corporations polluting our minds with garbage, trying to interest us all in sex and drugs and “great” television shows to keep track of. I’m tired of being told that I am supposed to spend 100% of my time focusing on football, baseball, nascar, and all of the other pointless activities that are used for the sole purpose of shoving ads about diet pepsi and mcdonalds down my fucking throat. I hope when this shit all falls apart the rest of the world will have mercy on our innocent children. What a sick disgusting disaster of a government we have in this country.

    but of note that just a few weeks ago, i read at democracynow that the australians had seized assange's visa/passport; which would seem to mean that his whereabouts were known at that time.

    my guess is that assange and comrades are in danger of assassination. boy would i like to be there to see hillary and others having heart attacks over this… you go wikileak!

    The will of the American Government and the will of the American People are not always one and the same.

    It is obvious that politicians and corporate heads are willing to send American troops into unnecessary wars and other dangers while they, themselves, stay safely at home – making more money, “snuggling” (being polite here) with their wives, their husbands or their girlfriends and boyfriends.

    The American people are on to it and THAT IS THE REAL REASON the telecom corporations and the media corporations want to take over the internet – the American people are learning too damned much about the corruption of their government and their politicians.

  • Savantster

    At this stage, I doubt the government will even waste time with that. He's on the run, in hiding. If they can't assassinate him directly (in secret), they will simply kill him on sight and spin a story of how he opened fire on agents who “only wanted to question him” or some bullshit.

    It seems as though our Diplomats are helping build intel that our MIC needs to keep wars moving and Democracy destroyed around the Arab world. Kind of like how we stopped Iraq from making a Socialist Theocracy with their Constitution. That was out in the public realm, but most people simply don't care to “find it”… it wasn't on FOX, so they don't know/care.

    The empire is raging, and MOST of the world knows it. As soon as there is PROOF (such as these memos), the rest of the world will probably ACT. That will be BAD news for America. The rest of the world will halt trade, our finances, and impose strict “sanctions” on us, and we'll get pissed and fight. The starving of the beast will begin soon. Get out before the internal rot (riots, disease, poverty) ramps up too much. Once things get bad, air travel will be restricted to the wealthy looking to relocate their wealth and businesses. The masses will suffer for the sins of the few.

  • Home_kmw

    Now if Americans can stop hating each other for being “liberal” or “conservative”, Repug or Dem … those words are meaningless. People like Glen Beck & Limbaugh and many others are out there to stoke the HATE, in order to stop Americans from coming together and focusing on their REAL enemy: Corporations that own and “run” the USA, including the Senate & the White House and, most tragic of all: The Courts.

    The last I heard, Wikileaks' servers were in Iceland, not Sweden.

    To the substance; what revealing the contents would do for us in the U.S. – let the others do what they will, is confirm or dispel a lot of the theories about who is really driving American foreign policy in the Obama Administration and which individuals have been honestly or dishonestly misrepresenting their attitudes and policies to us as voters.

    One the one hand, there is necessity for security in diplomatic communications, but on the other, if that secrecy is being misused as a cover for domestic political deception (that is, deception of Americans about our government's overall policies, acceptable means, and ends – over and above that necessary for the conduct of acceptable foreign policy) then, it should be revealed. One can only infer so much about real policy and motives from the tangled web of observable actions and public explanations. Ultimately, unresolved speculation on wide discrepancies between the two can do more damage to public support for the government than spelling out the unpleasant and sometimes brutal facts of international relations and necessary actions in dealing with that reality.

    I don't know if Assange is capable of making, or cares, about those distinctions, but he should. It's hard to believe that the young intelligence officer would have the breadth of knowledge or experience to do so, but he'll have a long time to ponder that.

    This is getting serious, they don't even post any information on wikileaks about these communications. This would explain why he's been moving from place to place over the past month an a half. The took his passport for 8 hours in australia for no reason I heard a month ago. I think those cables say alot about the leaders in the arab world and other places and it's not in a good light. Think about it, if those cables said stuff like this leader is okay or he's a very cordial person etc. etc., then it wouldn't matter. I think they say stuff like so and so will allow this if we pay him 30 million dollars (an explitive from the writer or ambassador). So and so will allow us to take said person if we give him this etc. etc.. It would show the rest of the world how their leaders in certain areas are not only bought and paid for, they are doing things at the behest of the US and their greed.

    My friend, I live it – first hand. It's suckers like you who just can't get above their conservative seventh grade indoctrination who are so easily lead. You are watched more than you'll ever realize.

    Ever wonder just why the children of Congress persons are not killed in wars; do not even serve in the military? Never wonder why the children of CEOs do not enlist in the military? But they're all glad to see you or your children go to do their fighting for them!

    Ever hear the story of David and Bathsheba? How David had Bathsheba's husband put on the front lines knowing full well that he would be killed and then David could have legal access to Bathsheba?

    My friend, it wasn't that David committed adultry with Bathsheba and he got her pregnant. Nobody cared about that. The adultry. That was as common then as it is now. David even took Uriah off the front lines hoping he would have sex with Bathsheba, his wife, while he was at home. But, Uriah stayed at the kings court and would not even visit Bathseba. But David broke an oath that all men took during war – no male would have sex during the time of the war. That's why David was singled out by by the prophet Nathan; “Thou art the man!”

    I'll promise you – if the CEOs and the memers of Congress had to give up sleeping with their significant others (and those not so significant) we'd have less wars….

    I thought China was the country where they didn't have free speech rights. What's going on here? Oh, I forgot, we are really a national security state similar to Russia except the difference being that most citizens don't recognize the state of the nation we live in. For better or worse, more and more citizens are waking up to this reality.

    (although I recognize that there ARE legitimate national security secrets that must be kept secret, in this case it it sounds to me like they are trying to squelch a host of matters regarding our foreign policy that truly are legitimate areas of public concern and that should be made public and that should have been matters of public discussion years ago. But I guess we won't know until they are released if they ever are)

  • keystonelonestar

    I tire of these wikileaks stories. It takes a few minutes to actually publish something to the web. It takes wikileaks weeks. First they have to leak that they have the leak. Then the government has to go after them. Maybe they went to the Steve Jobs school of marketing?

  • Third_stone

    Manning is being held in Kuwait? What sense does that make? It suggests to me he is being tortured. My position is that he deserves whistleblower protection.
    Let us all stand up for Wikileaks. They are vital to democracy. They probably believed it when Obama told us this would be the most open administration ever. They are innocent. They thought it was okay because of what the president told them. If the president tells you to do it, its not against the law.

    Julian, I hope you are reading these lines. They are written by an expert on CIA/Mossad assassinations. Publish this stuff, quickly, and do not wait to cross your Ts and dot your Is. Make it clear this is a rough draft, and edit everything later. They would probably kill you anyway, as you well know, but this will give you some breathing time. Then dye your hair, tint your skin, and vanish without telling a single soul where you are going to. You cannot go to Australia or any Western country. The CIA is too powerful, even in insurgent countries like Venezuela. Your best bet may be disappearing to some rural village in Russia, without leaving any trace. Good luck and my heartfelt wishes that you may live to see 2011!

    It's typical 'legacy' thinking that killing this guy will stop wikileaks. I don't think so. Most likely someone else at wikileaks or some other site will just step right up. I think it's too distributed now, like 'the tubes'. There will hopefully be now way to stop this.

    Most commenters should consider changing your attitude. Reading the comments, you continue to demonstrate your ignorance and the belief that you are powerless. Attitude is everything. If you cannot be positive that WE can effect a change, a good one, and that you will commit to being a part of the solution, then you are useless to the evolution of this society, and to mankind. I'm not one to judge, but many of the comments are pathetic. Where is your spirit to live? To gain happiness and serenity?

    All problems are solvable through a concerted effort among people with good intentions. Anything can be achieved. I suggest you consider changing your attitude of caring, tolerance and giving a damn about your current situation. Unless you enjoy this bullsh#t, then continue on.

    Julian Assange is being set up as a villain and likely will be delt with in an extreme prejudicial way . What ever the young army guy provided if he provided anything at all couldn't have any significance. State does its' own encryption and decoding. Sure they use military lines to carry the messages but they also might use Western Union. By the way that leak of a communication from the Embassy in Iceland was nothing more than a personal opinion by an FSO of a contact which in turn is combined with other reports filed by other officers. The process is routine. Julian Assange better be real careful

    Or one of Enron's accountants from Arthur Andersen who suddenly became depressed and killed himself the day before he was to testify. The DC Madam before she could release her list of clients. Ken Lay, dead of heart disease after being found guilty, but before being sentenced.

    Odd instead of going after the criminals whos whistlleblower information proves wrong doing, obama goes after whistleleblower and pros. them..We as a people are going to find out about what our govt. does in our name and govt.covered up more and more..Its happening already..For example :Why does israel have full access to our weapons stored in middle east to terrorize whomever they please, and they are infilitrated within our govt more than americans are,why are american taxpayers sending billions to them, which they in turn send some back in the form of donations to our congressmen, treat themselves to free college education and health care for all israel while we pay the bills etc. I have lots of whys I want to know about and we wont get those answers from our govt..

    When I was young and had no sense
    In far-off Mandalay
    I lost my heart to a Burmese girl
    As lovely as the day.

    Her skin was gold, her hair was jet,
    Her teeth were ivory;
    I said ‘For twenty silver pieces,
    Maiden, sleep with me.’

    She looked at me, so pure, so sad,
    The loveliest thing alive,
    And in her lisping, virgin voice,
    Stood out for twenty-five.
