Many think Bradley manning released the State Department documents. That is not true. He did provide the footage of the killing of Reuters reporters
in Baghdad during an attack on purported hostiles from an Apache helicopter.

The US government has muddied the waters over this debacle by implicating that the young Army Intel Analyst released State Department secret cables
(memos) but they have not cleared this up within the main stream media. In other words, many citizens around the world actualy believe those cables
came from Manning. They simply did not. But this helps the US government by simply not telling the public that these are two incidents with the secret
cable provider still a mystery.

The defense computer system that contained those cables is known as Secret Internet Protocol Router Network, or Siprnet. It is basically a highly
secure Intranet that is difficult to impossible to crack. Unless you are authorized to be on the system however, being authorized to be on this system
never equates that one can access another's information due to the way the system is built.
If the person(s) who released those State Department classified docs is found out and thats a big if, it will be the same as finding that proverbial
needle in the haystack. One thing is clear and that is Manning did not release those cables. The public needs to be aware of this.
It also brings into question is why didn't the US government shut down Wikileaks during the period that Wikileaks was stating they were going to dump
all of those documents? Robert Gates, SECDEF stated that the release did not damage any Intelligence Agency's ability to operate but did indanger the
lives of troops. If the war efforts didn;t already do enough damage that is. What is the danger of the release of memos stating that another country's
leader is inept in the bedroom then? perhaps Assange was in the right neighborhood but on the wrong street in regards to getting at the truth about
other incidents of the US government? It is said (but not confirmed)that information on that system in regards to September 11, 2001, Waco Texas and
other incidents are stored within the system for intelligence reference purposes. Again this is unconfirmed and should not prompt anyone to speculate
further but the possiblities of such information being dumped into the public domain are scary to those who were involved in such incidents.
The Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET) is the Department of Defense's largest network for the exchange of classified information and
messages at the SECRET level. It supports the Global Command and Control System, the Defense Message System, and numerous other classified warfighting
and planning applications. Although the SIPRNET uses the same communications procedures as the Internet, it has dedicated and encrypted lines that are
separate from all other communications systems. It is the classified counterpart of the Unclassified but Sensitive Internet Protocol Router Network
(NIPRNET), which provides seamless interoperability for unclassified combat support applications and controlled access to the Internet.

The system can be used as stated above for sending messeges very similiar to using IM internet based services to anyone who is on the system.
Including HF (high frequency) messege text which is the type used by the Secret Service during 911. Simply stated, the user who is at a computer
terminal CAN use the infrared port to transfer data otherwise, the user is supposed to cover the IR port with "metallic tape". Yes...duct tape!
However many users simply cover the port with their backpacks, books or other items. If the State Department memos came from SIPRNET then we would
already know who passed them. By not knowing hwo did it, this is direct proof that it was not Manning and those were downloaded directly from the
State Department internal system or another system entirely.
The convicted hacker & Project Vigilant consultant caught him one:
Adrian Lamo called the Army and told them that Manning had downloaded secret docs after contacting him via IM. Lamo had been chatting with Manning
using the system although some deny this. Lamo is a convicted hacker well known for having a penchant for secret spy stuff and was working for Project
Vigilant. Who or what is that? A private institution whose has contracts with the FBI and the NSA to name a few.

Based on this material retrieved from Google cache, Project Vigilant is a fraud. The recent stories about Chet Uber recruiting volunteer Internet
spies at Defcon, bragging about having 600 volunteers and advising Adrian Lamo to inform on Bradley Manning have been based on public relations
hyperbole.
This material shows:
1. It has no physical address, no proof of legal existence, no assets, no evidence it is governmentally authorized to steal personal and business
data, and to train and criminally direct volunteers to steal personal and business data around the world for ostensible government use.
2. No evidence that the stolen personal and business data is provided to governments in compliance with law governing such data.
3. Personal information on volunteers is being harvested for undisclosed purposes by offering a pretentious training and vetting process to ostensibly
assure protection of national security secrets around the globe, with claims that federal agencies like the State Deparment will be involved. No
qualifications to train in or handle national security secrets are offered.
4. Unpaid services by volunteers are being solicited under guise of patriotism to avoid or minimize financial accounting, salaries, insurance and
health benefits, taxation and government oversight.
5. Notable persons have been induced to legitimate Project Vigilant by allowing their names to be used, or used without their permission or knowledge.
6. A plan to enlist children as spies.
Cryptome
Project Vigilant is a fraud
Wannabe spies playing wannabe games is what this sounds like and I'm highly suspicious of anything Lamo has to say despite that the MSM is playing him
up to be some sort of "hero" by turning in Manning. He has everything to gain by playing in this arena including having his record esponged and is now
getting protection from the FBI due to threats and some who have argued that Lamo was the hacker in the system who originally found those famous
documents then played Manning. I suspect this to be the case when Wikileaks released the memos and I learned just who was involved with Manning.
