The Pen, the Sword and the Internet

I've got nothing much new to add to the news of Wikileaks release of Afghanistan War documents, but I do remember history. The original Pentagon Papers released in 1971 detailed American policies and practices relating to American-Vietnam relations before and during the US-Vietnam War up until the late 1960s. Now, aside from the intervening replacement of the Draft with an All-Volunteer military - -thereby explaining an apparent lack of any effective college-age protest today -- conduct of a distant war is about as cynical and inept as ever. But that's the main point, isn't it?  The Military-Corporate Complex must be fed by Ares, God of War and Bloodlust. Is anyone surprised at all by the content of today's leaks?
