Is WikiLeaks a threat to national security?

Question by ksafin@ymail.com: Is WikiLeaks a threat to national security?
This is for a debate.
I have 500 pages of research and have my own opinion, but I wanted to hear your arguments so I can be prepared to rebuttle.

So, guys: WikiLeaks is a threat to US National Security. True or False, and why?

Best answer:

Answer by Timmeh!
No, plain and simple. They ARE a threat to the US government’s ability to cover up whatever massacres and war crimes they have carried out. To date, of the 250,000 cables and documents they have received, they have leaked less than 1%, due to the time it takes to go through each doucment and redact it to ensure the names of people who might be at risk have been removed. That is responsible reporting, and it shames the so called mainstream media.

To what extent, for the sake of national security, should individual rights and freedoms be restricted?

Question by ♪: To what extent, for the sake of national security, should individual rights and freedoms be restricted?
Can the restriction of civil rights for the sake of national security be justified?

Should decisions be made by the upper echelons of government in which the American public is not informed?

To what extent?

Have Americans forgotten that they are supposed to be a PART of the system of checks and balances? That it isn’t just the executive, congressional and legislative branches, but that they have a role in this, as well?

Are you concerned about the constitution being subverted in recent years?

What would be your solution to upholding your constitutional rights?

All I can think of is that we learned in high school that america is set up on a balance scale. do whatever you want as long as you don’t put yourself or anyone else in danger. I agree with that. And as long as people are stupid, the government will have to intervene. It’s a way of life.

America has proven with the copy cat criminals that authority figures have to keep certain things private in order to protect the whole country. Sure, let them keep secrets; we all do it. and they got in their positions for a reason.

The Constitution gives Congress broad authority to oversee and investigate the activities of the executive branch. If Congress is to carry out that authority, it must have access to many kinds of government information, including classified or sensitive national security information which government agencies may be reluctant to reveal.

How do Congress and the executive branch strike a proper balance between the congressional need to have such information and the government’s duty to protect it? What options does Congress have when the government refuses to provide the information it requests? When is it appropriate for Congress to make national security information available to the public and the press?

Please join the Center for American Progress and OpenTheGovernment.org for an address by The Honorable Jane Harman (D-CA), Chair of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Intelligence, Information-Sharing and Terrorism Risk Assessment and former Ranking Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, who will discuss the importance of national security information to Congress and current efforts by the Administration to resist providing it.

Following Rep. Harman’s remarks, a distinguished panel of experts will examine the means by which Congress obtains and makes use of national security information in performing its oversight and investigative functions.

eGenerationMarketing is Proud to Announce the Release of Social Security Disability Benefits Document Generating Application

eGenerationMarketing is Proud to Announce the Release of Social Security Disability Benefits Document Generating Application












Boston, Massachusetts (PRWEB) November 22, 2011

eGenerationMarketing, one of the legal marketing industry’s top resources for Social Security Disability marketing, proudly released an update to their Client Portal after months of strenuous work. Prior to these updates, the Client Portal was utilized to organize the Social Security Disability leads sent to law firms by eGenerationMarketing.

Overall, the portal was greeted with praise and appreciation, as it allows for easy tracking on each lead, as well as the ability to convert individual leads to maintain retention rates. In the rare chance that a lead is invalid, the portal also allows the lead to be rejected by clients in order to be reviewed by the management at eGenerationMarketing for refund.

As a young and fast-moving company, eGenerationMarketing is constantly striving to enhance the quality and usability of their products. Despite the rapid nature of the lead-generating industry, however, eGenerationMarketing prides itself on the constant attention and care they demonstrate towards their clients.

“For us, it isn’t about just signing a law firm up and saying ‘I guess we’ll talk soon’,” said Sales and Client Relations manager Doug Cochrane.

“Keeping our clients satisfied is our utmost priority, and if we can make their lives easier, we will strive to make that happen.”

As an internet marketing firm, eGenerationMarketing is perceptive to the ways in which technology can increase the efficiency of the often stagnant and old-fashioned legal industry. Therefore, after months of brainstorming and polling clients, the company embarked on a mission to enhance the features of the Client Portal by constructing additional applications. The conclusion was to address the time consuming and tedious process of filling out Social Security Disability related paperwork. The goal became to take a process that normally requires hours of effort by an attorney or paralegal and streamline it using various programming principles within the Client Portal.

After a few weeks of tireless work from the development team, the complexities were overcome to create an easy to use interface that will greatly enhance the efficiency of any firm that uses it. The process is quite simple. Before, when clients would click into one of the case leads in the Client Portal, they had the option to convert, edit, or contest. Now, the newly launched option will allow clients to generate documents, which will take them to a window of various Social Security Disability benefit forms. From here, the client can pick and choose which forms they would like to have filled out by the portal. Once the forms have been chosen, the user can click for the documents to be generated, creating a PDF of all of the forms with the intake’s name and contact information inputted in the correct fields. From here, the forms will only require the specific information required of each to be filled in. Fortunately, the PDFs can be modified on the computer, or printed out and completed by hand.

Lastly, the document generating application allows the importation of additional materials and personalized letters. Considering every firm has a different procedure with regard to mailing material to its clients, these additional documents can be uploaded to the portal. All the client has to do is follow the very basic instructions to take advantage of the functionality of the auto-fill tool. Collectively, the document generating application takes hours of work being done by hand currently in the legal industry, and in one click on the computer, nearly completes all of the forms in seconds.

“In terms of the document generating portion of the portal, I think we have entirely accomplished our goal,” stated Chris Casey, one of the developers who worked on the project.

“It generates the documents immediately and is quite easy to use. I believe it will be very helpful to our clients and their firms. But as with all of our products, there is always room for improvement.”

eGenerationMarketing is an internet marketing firm out of Boston, Massachusetts, that works with legal practices on both the state and national levels to increase their volume of Social Security Disability cases. Using a combination of internet advertising, search engine optimization and other online marketing strategies, they are able to generate a high volume of low-cost, high quality Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income case leads. These leads are generated by websites considered to be some of the web’s top resources for finding out information about the application process, appealing a denial, what conditions can qualify, and, most importantly, finding legal representation to assist with a case. eGenerationMarketing acts as a bridge by connecting these people who are looking for help with their case by connecting them with either an advocate or an attorney in their area who is eager to assist them.

For more information on the Social Security Disability lead generating services or Client Portal offered by eGenerationMarketing, go to http://www.egenerationmarketing.com or call 617-800-0089.

You can also contact us through our website to request more information about our programs and products.

Q&A: What is with this Obama National Security Force?

Question by Tinman12: What is with this Obama National Security Force?
Currently we have a full time military force. Followed by our National Guard and Reserve Units. On top of that, the federal govenment has 84 different law enforcement agencies. So why add a national security force almost equal in strength to the US Military? Strength as in numbers and in training.

Question by Blue: Should Blackberry Phones be illegal in the US also and is the phone a national security risk?
In United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia they are banned. Black Berry messaging is encrypted. Its a national security risk they say. So will they be illegal in the US also soon or is our government smarter? Should all forms of encryption be illegal including https websites for credit cards? Is it really that big of a risk? Do you think our Government will try to ban encryption also?

Is Mubarak’s downfall really the end of Egypt’s feared State Security?

EGYPT – It’s two months since Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak was ousted, after 29 years in power and more demonstrators are in Tahrir Square, this time calling for his prosecution. As he left office, protesters discovered files detailing how the Egyptian state security police – a hated symbol of Mubarak’s regime – used torture and informers to beat down any opposition to the former leader.

Louis Farrakhan prophesied an uprising in Feb 2011. Other black and union leaders have followed his lead in the Occupy Wall Street / Occupy America protests. All of these people are working together with Obama towards the same goal, fundamental change in America, the overthrow of the system. That is, its destruction as we have known it, as prophesied by Black Nationalism and Black Liberation Theology. The law was changed in 2007 to allow the President to take control of the National Guard without the consent of the states. See link below. www.stateline.org It is important for people to realize that Obama will be complicit in any unrest that occurs as a result of these “Occupy America” protests. His cohorts are inciting them. Blog: stopobamanowsd.wordpress.com Impeach Obama Tea Party: www.facebook.com

Answer by sixtiesradical
1) Republicans talk a lot about it and then do things to endanger it and fail to do things to ensure it.
2) Democrats don’t need to bellow about it, because they have nothing to cover up.
3) Republicans use “national security” as an excuse for pulling all kinds of sh!t they couldn’t get away with otherwise.
