Unlimited Wikileaks Shenanigans

[Cain]

Alleged 'WikiLeaker' Bradley Manning sent to less restrictive prison

Under pressure from human rights groups, the Defense Department moved Bradley Manning, charged with giving classified documents to WikiLeaks, to the Fort Leavenworth military prison in Kansas.

Irony alert: many current dictators in the Middle East, such as the rulers of Bahrain, were trained at Fort Leavenworth (source: Wikileaks cables).  The current leaders of Bahrain invited a Saudi Army into the streets to shoot unarmed protestors.  The Americans are sending a guy to where they trained war criminals in order to try him for his heinous crimes.

what do you mean they were trained at this Fort? what were middle east dictators doing in a fort in Kansas?

Maybe they were trained to fight Communists in the Middle East or something, and became dictators afterwards. I read that's fairly common, but I'll try to look up the details.

And there was Noriega, sent down to Panama by The Company to 'advise' the Government there, staged a coup, and took over. Then went blubbing to the Vatican Embassy when the C.I.A sent a crew down there to see what fuck he thought he was up to! I can't remember what Track it was they played through a PA, to winkle him out, but I think it it was the first widely reported use of Psy-ops ever.

ETA When his US Prison sentence was over in 2010, Hillary Clinton had him extradited to France, where he got another 7 years, and France agreed at the end of his term, he would be extradited back to Panama to face charges of Murder. 
So, . . .The moral of the story?  Don't fuck with the C.I.A.

Noriega was trained at the notorious "School of the Americas" at Ft Benning, GA.

Ft Leavenworth is also the US military's prison, it might be added.

The King related how his own experience at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort LEAVENWORTH, Kansas had been one of the most personally and professionally rewarding of his life; he praised the value of continued military education opportunities.

Presumably this was at the Command and General Staff College there, which trains foreign and native generals.  Other infamous foreign alumni include:

General Do Cao Tri (chemical attacks against the Hu, crackdown on Buddhists)
General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq (leader of Pakistan, Islamic fundamentalist nutjob who helped found the Mujahideen, helped Pakistan gain nuclear weapons)
General Krishnaswamy Sundarji (lead Operation Bluestar)
General Nguyen Hop Doan (Phoenix Program)
General Veljko Kadijević (wanted for war crimes charges)
General David Tevzadze (commander of paramilitary forces in the 92-93 Abkhazia War)

So, the US invites foreign nationals from unstable states, and trains them how to be ruthless dictators?

Well, I suppose that's one way to keep the supply/demand cycle going.

We've been doing it since at best the end of WWII.

Oh yes.

Most real US diplomacy takes place through the Pentagon, not the State Department.  If you want to know who is currently in the US's good books, look at who they are offering military training to.  Especially in-country military training.

It was Panama, by Van Halen, wasn't it?

If (and I'm not 100%) it was Van Halen, it was  "Jump"

In fact, I believe it was the Clash, "Should I stay or should I go",

Hey was there ever an update about the high profile financial industry info that wikileaks was going to drop?
